Do I need an NVQ in plastering

An NVQ in plastering is a formal qualification. This is to 'prove' or 'show' potential customers and/or clients that you are competent within your trade.

We are aware that some old school plasterers say they don't need to prove themselves as they have been plastering for many years.

In this case you can do a 1-2 day assessment, known as Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA).

This fast track route to the right level of qualification in plastering. This Solid Plastering NVQ Level 2 is available to all time served and skilled plasterers, those of you who have never previously had the time or the opportunity to gain a qualification to reflect your plastering ability.

The following mandatory units make up the NVQ Level2:

• QCF641: - Conform to general workplace safety
• QCF642: - Conform to efficient work practices
• QCF643: - Move and handle resources
• QCF66: - Produce internal solid plastering finishes
• QCF67: - Produce external solid render finishes

Supported by two optional units from:

• QCF68: - Install direct bond dry linings
• QCF69: - Lay sand and cement screeds
