Craft Plasterer Level 3

Contact Salt Training Limited directly on 01227 204444 or email apprenticeshipsinfo@salt-college.co.uk

This occupation is found in both the new build and refurbishment construction sector. Project size will vary in size ranging from domestic repairs to larger contracts for home builders, commercial and retail developments. Employers and contractors of plasterers vary in size from small, local family building companies to major home builders and commercial contractors.

Plasterers may choose to specialise in specific projects and progress to become masters in their field. The demand for plasterers is consistently high to support growth both in new build homes and commercial projects but also home renovation projects and heritage work on listed buildings.

A Plasterer Apprenticeship is the ideal way to develop the practical skills and knowledge needed for a successful career in the construction industry. Working alongside experienced professionals, you'll learn how to apply solid and fibrous plaster, render external surfaces and achieve high-quality internal finishes across a range of residential and commercial properties.

Training can be delivered in a variety of ways to meet the needs of both the employer and apprentice, including:

• One day per week at our training centre (day release)
• Block release, where apprentices attend training for a number of consecutive days at agreed intervals
• Training delivered at the employer's premises where appropriate

Throughout the programme, apprentices will receive support from an experienced trainer, who will carry out regular workplace reviews and provide guidance to help them develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by the apprenticeship standard.

Apprentices will complete practical training, build a portfolio of evidence, and prepare for their End-Point Assessment.

Apprentices must secure an employer that is willing to support them through the apprenticeship and provide a role that aligns with the apprenticeship. English and maths qualifications must be completed in line with the apprenticeship funding rules.
