Mar 2022 The four day course was incredibly well structured and flowed with ease. Having never completed any planting work at all I now feel confident to tackle any size wall and ceiling and it’s all thanks to Dave’s tuition and style of teaching. Would definitely recommend to anyone
Chris Murray Doncaster


Mar 2022 Recently finished a four day course over 2 weekends and can’t recommend it highly enough. Good tuition from Dave and really good structure to the course to build you up from a total novice to a confident DIYer! I have loads of plastering to do in an old Victorian refurb, can’t wait to get stared. Thanks Dave, hopefully be able to send some pics of freshly plastered rooms soon!
Matt Smith Sheffield


Mar 2022 Highly recommend. 5 stars from me. Nice one Dave!
Daryl Cope Wigan


Mar 2022 I would definitely recommend this course to anyone, I mean anyone who would want to learn to plaster! Dave is such a great teacher and takes all the stress out of how you think a wall/ceiling should be skimmed. I now feel confident enough to tackle the huge walls in my living room. Thanks Dave! p.s I bought a mixer straight after the course yesterday

Mar 2021 What a fantastic course to take, the amount you learn is unbelievable. Dave is by far the best tutor and nothing is too much for him. If your thinking of learning to plaster, then look no further than learn to plaster. No review I write for Dave @ Learn to plaster would be enough and give him as much credit as he deserves. What a outstanding course and tutor.

Cam Bennett

Aug 2020 Perfect for beginners! David was spot on at teaching me how to plaster. I entered with lack of confidence however i have completed the course and left with confidence. I was meant to go for the 4 day course however i booked on last minute and only made it for the 3 days. I thought i would have missed out on some of David’s teaching however i still caught up and got it done! Recommend this for anyone wanting to learn the trade from Diy around the home or to take to a professional level. Thank You David

Aug 2020 Absolutely fantastic who would have thought you could go from no skills to a good plasterer in 4 days
Vicky Taylor

Aug 2020 Done the course with David this week and was well worth it with the level of confidence I’ve left with. Left confident on day one which was the broken on day two when he changed the technique and took me out my comfort zone. However by the end I left with the confidence to take on plastering within my job knowing I’ve the know how now thanks to this course. Definitely recommend this course to anyone. Everything at ease and a true skill to learn. Cheers guys

Aug 2020 What a great couple of weekends learning to plaster. I never thought in a million years that I would be able to learn to plaster to such a high level in just 4 days. Having never done anything like this before I was a bit nervous but David is a great teacher and has given me a huge amount of confidence to tackle all the jobs that I have coming up in my house. If you want to learn to plaster this is definitely the place to do it !!!! 10/10

You will learn lot and have fun along the way. The worst thing about it was it was all over too soon as I was really enjoying the time there. Cheers Dave.
Lee Rumley

July 2020 Back from a fantastic week at Learn to Plaster. Anyone thinking of doing a plastering course then this is the course to book. Dave is genuinely one of the nicest fellas i’ve ever met who is an expert in all things plastering. He’s there to answer any questions and has bags of knowledge. I think the words ‘thick’ ‘quick’ and ‘even’ will be stuck with me for life. And as bonus you will even get to learn how to butter the perfect slice of toast. Cheers Dave and all the best

Juy 2020…Thoroughly enjoyed my time on the course. David is a brilliant teacher who obviously knows his stuff, very informative throughout. I was sceptical at first, all you hear from people is that it takes years to learn. however this course gives you such a good level of knowledge, you are then able to move forward and develop your skills at home or in the workplace. I went on the course to learn a new skill to use at home to renovate my house, I can certainly say this was money well spent. thanks again David.

Feb 2020…If you want to learn to plaster, do it with Dave!! I am one of the most sceptical people you could ever meet. Learn to plaster in 4 days he says!! Not a chance I say!! How WRONG i am. I have just completed the 4 day course, never having seen an 11 inch Marshalltown in my life. The whole course is delivered at the right level as you progress through the 4 days. Plastering every day with as little or much guidance as you need.
I am now 100% confident that I have the knowledge and skill to plaster a room to a standard that I would pay someone else to do. That is all thanks to Dave, the owner and tutor, who has been involved in plastering for many years. Dave also provides after course support in case you have any further questions or advice.
Top bloke, top course, value for money -absolutely. Book a course, you will not be disappointed!!

Feb 2020…I was on the 4 day course; thoroughly enjoyed it and me and the other 5 lads were really impressed with the results we achieved under Dave’s guidance. He explained and demonstrated good techniques and also mistakes we were likely to make and the reasons why.
He also provided info about different tools and types of mortar as well as tips about making the best use of your time and mortar when plastering.
I’d strongly recommend this course.

Oct 2019…Totally recommend this course. Despite reading all the fabulous success stories on here I was dubious that I would be able to do it, I thought I’d be the odd one who couldn’t master it. BUT I COULD! If you want to learn to plaster you WILL on this course with Dave and have bags of fun along the way too. Excellent value for money. (Oh and the girls out numbered the boys on our course)
Chris Harps
Wakefield
Sept 2019…Fantastic 4 day course. Came in as an idiot and left as an idiot that could plaster. Dave is a great teacher and shows everything so simply and makes it easy to follow. I came in hoping to learn how to tidy the walls up in my house to a decent standard and left feeling like a professional plasterer that could tackle anything. 10/10
Richard Jickells

Apr 2019…This was quite simply brilliant! I still can’t believe that I turned up on day one absolutely clueless and left perfectly confident that I can plaster. The four days just flew by! It’s friendly, relaxed, thorough, effective and most of all great fun. I would wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone and everyone, from aspiring tradesmen to those who just love to learn a new skill. Give it a go and surprise yourself!

Feb 2019..Cannot recommend Dave enough! Had a brilliant 4 days learning to plaster. Was debating whether it was even possible to learn in 4 days on the drive down on Monday but it 100% is. If you want to learn then Dave is the man, friendly, welcoming and full of knowledge. Gone from knowing pretty much nothing to being able to plaster to a standard I am over the moon with.
Thanks again Dave
Ryan Farmer
Manchester
Feb 2019..4 days of fun, getting dirty and no nonsense plastering. I’ve learnt a new skill and I would never have thought the end finish would be that good. Dave’s a great teacher and all round nice guy. Can’t wait to take on my own home with confidence.
Akbar Mufti

Jan 2019…I’d thoroughly recommend this course for anyone considering home renovations or just a bit of DIY. Dave goes through it all from start to finish and you’ll be amazed at the level you’ll be able to achieve very quickly.
Matthew Preston

Dec 2018..Just finished the four day course over two weekends and had an amazing time!.
It’s such a fantastic course and it’s surprising what you can learn in four days, thick quick and even I will be saying it in my sleep!.
The course itself is structured but flexible if you are a complete beginner like me. Nothing was too much for Dave. By day four I mastered the ceiling which before the course I was adamant I’d never be able to!!!
Money well spent and I would highly recommend learn to plaster!!!
Thank you for been so patient Dave!!!!
Becca McGuire Wilson
Leeds
Amazing what you can learn in 4 days! Dave is a fantastic instructor (and I’ve known quite a few) who know his subject inside out. He’s also clearly refined the course over a number of years to get the pace and content exactly right. I leave feeling confident that I can now achieve at least the same standard I’ve previously paid others for. Give it a go.
Matthew Warren

Nov 2018..it was the best school choice for learning, the teacher would take care of the work you are doing, and it gives you more time to find a job, I would like to recommend this place, I will love this 4-day course.

Oct 2018…What A Course!! Was In Two Minds To Even Attend The Course But Thank God I Did. Learnt So Much About Plastering In The 4 Days – Plus Actually Had Fun While Learning It All; Anyone Looking Into This Course Let Me Tell You – You Will Enjoy It And Learn To Plaster. Thank You Dave.
Bilal Khan
Stockport
Aug 2018…This is an absolutely amazing course and if I can do it anyone can! Dave is an amazing teacher tells you exactly what you need to know and how to correct any mistakes you make, being 5’1 I was very sceptical of actually being able to plaster and after 4days on this course I can now say that I can! I was absolutely gutted that this course finished so quickly as I had an excellent time and even though my travel time was long, I would do it all over again! Thank you so much for your help Dave I will definitely be recommending this to everyone.
Lorna Hargreaves
Huddersfield
July 2018…Only on day 2 absolutely loving it, didn’t know anything now want my own tools, I’m a yoga teacher where did that come from, so therapeutic built a wall with a window, plastered a wall and a ceiling wow.
Tracey Ackroyd
Doncaster
July 2018…This is simply a great course. You start it and you can’t plaster. You finish it and you can. It’s that simple. I’m not the most handy of men and so to be able to plaster is great. Dave is a great teacher and knows his stuff. He passes all of his knowledge on to you, ask anything you like, no matter how daft it seems and you will get a knowledgable and clear answer. I really can’t recommend it enough. I now know all about thick, quick and even. I know when to walk away. I also have a shiny trowel, which I am strangely proud of. Rather handily I also learnt a great tip for buttering toast with cold butter.
Simon Alker
Bradford
June 2018…Thought I’d do this course for a bit of DIY at home but was not expecting to be able to plaster at the standard that I came out with.
Dave is a great teacher and fills you with confidence as you go. His tips and tricks that he knows from the industry are a huge plus.
I did my first bedroom at home (including ceiling) this weekend and can say that I would pay for someone to do it at that standard.
Thanks learn to plaster…
