Are you looking to take your NVQ in plastering?
If you have been plastering for a living for a while since taking your plastering course then maybe your ready to gain the NVQ
the National Vocational Qualification is at present Free of charge by OSAT through the Goldtrowel plastering organisation (HOST).

So if you've had the training and gained the experience have you started to build a portfolio of evidence.
Yes a portfolio of documented evidence is required that covers the relevant units for the NVQ you require.

Photographs with you in them. written or typed testimonials from builders, employers or customers
your portfolio should also contain your name age and address as well as a current CV.
it should be put in order with a list of contents that match the units required
On induction we will provide your NVQ Portfolio with all relevant units to be completed.

So when you've put your portfolio together contact:
Goldtrowel on 01708 344 700
you will first need to take a short induction at Goldtrowel
then you will receive a minimum of 2 visits to your workplace
where an assessor will ask you some questions and may view you working.
obviously because the NVQ is evidence based,
so if you cannot produce the evidence then you cannot receive the NVQ
your certificate from Goldtrowel counts as a valuable APL that should be placed next to your CV
certificates issued by Goldtrowel after 2006 list the units you passed during the course on the certificate you received

Solid plastering, Fibrous plastering, Venetian marble plastering, External finishes
