Diploma & Assessments

To achieve the Level 2 Diploma in Plastering (6708-23), learners must complete the following units: 201, 202, 221, 222, 223 and 224.

Units 201 and 202 are theory-based units, and will take approximately two weeks of study time (with extra time allocated for home study and exam preparation). These two units are a fundamental part of this qualification, and must be completed and passed prior to certification. Units 201 and 202 are assessed by an online exam set by City & Guilds.

*Units 201 and 202 are also completed for our Level 2 Bricklaying Course and do not have to be redone if you wish to pursue that as well with us.

All Units in our course are assessed against the City & Guilds criteria, and proceed as follows:

6 practical exams, which include: internal plastering, drylining, floor screeding and external rendering
6 theory exams completed online in our IT suite => these exams are externally graded against the City & Guild criteria. All exams are multi-choice, with one question and four possible answers provided. We have mock paper tests available to students, and these are taken and the answers discussed before students take the actual exam

You will be expected to spend approximately 2 hours per week doing home study in order to complete your portfolio that allows you to meet the City & Guilds guided learning hours for this qualification. While not mandatory, we also recommend that you purchase the City & Guilds Level 2 Plastering book that is designed to deliver the knowledge required for this Level 2 course.

All of the above modules will be carried out here at our purpose built dedicated training centre where we have various simulated training bays for you to carry out your practical assignments and our own computer suite linked to City and Guilds for you to take all of your online tests.

What comes after?

Upon completion, this City & Guilds Level 2 industry recognised course will grant you an extremely wide and complete understanding of the skills and knowledge required on how to start working as a plasterer, as the course is specifically designed for students with little to no experience. Most students leave this course and go on site to get experience working alongside a team of plasterers and gain site experience. In order to do this you must get a CSCS card, you will start off with a green card and need to then gain site experience and pass your NVQ2 before applying for a blue card.

To obtain a CSCS card, you must pass the Health & Safety CSCS test. Check out our 1 Day Site Safety Course (CSCS Test incl.).

If you do not wish to pursue a career in plastering, or if the theoretical side of this course is not for you but you still wish to learn plastering for your DIY projects or home renovations, we recommend our Intensive Plastering Course, which covers the most important techniques of the basic practical skills needed to complete plastering works.
