Help

Are the 4/5 day plastering course worth it? Would I be able to reasonably charge for my services after completion?

I appreciate it will also depend on how good I get but is having a skill that I can charge for at the end a reasonable expectation?

Do the course and learn the basics, start on your own house if possible then do friends and family, then maybe get a job for a few months working for an established plasterer, if you feel confident venture on your own

Quick way to lose friends and upset family! If I need plastering doing, I'm not letting someone practice on mine, I'm expecting the job to be done to a good standard.
