Find the plastering course that is right for you. Courses are offered at different levels of knowledge and experience. The lowest level is for beginners with no previous plastering experience and the highest is one that may offer a plastering certification. This highest level should be undertaken by those interested in becoming a professional plasterer.
Pick out the dates that you wish to take the course. Keep in mind when choosing a class that some of them have plenty of availability, while others have a very limited enrollment allotment. Look at several schools before booking and compare them all.
Enroll in your course. Most schools will allow you to do this online, but some may require you book in person or call. It might be a good idea to physically visit the school or training facility first. Introduce yourself to an instructor or another employee and ask questions you might have concerning the course.
Arrive at your first class and let the instructor know if you have any plastering projects planned for the near future. This will help the instructor offer specific advice geared toward your planned project. Your instructor should follow introductions with a brief demonstration on the different types of plasters and tools.
Observe your instructor closely whenever he gives a demonstration. Do not hesitate to ask any questions you might have. These crash courses in plastering are often expensive, so you want to get everything out of it that you can.
Inquire about anything you do not understand before the course is over. If there was anything specific you wished to learn that the course did not cover, let your instructor know. If you are going for your plastering certification or qualifying test, be sure to study for the written part of the exam.
