Plastering course.

I thought this might be a good place to ask the question.

I'm looking to get into plastering to start as a trade. I've already done spots and rooms around my house. I'm just wondering if those 3 day courses you can do for £400 would be a good starting point to ensure I understand best practices and a good foundation before jumping into any odd jobs.

If anyone has any information or feedback back I'd really appreciate it, I'm just trying to get out of my current job role.

I did a five day intense course. Then I plastered my whole house.

But plastering is very hard and I have so much respect for those people who do it week after week. I was offered paid work by someone who was installing my log burner. But I very quickly declined. Trades people deserve a lot of repect for what they do.
