you can do applicator training with a manufacturer and they may or may not approve you. Otherwise like systems says you can try nvq and get proper qual - its usually free if you dont have another nvq or equal quali, you can get on general sites without it but you wont get on green deal sites without it if you want to fit insulation render.
I also hear that they may be considering nvq plastering for this. possibly lowering the criteria for GD installers now, thats if the gov. dont scrap it all together since chris hune resigned

fixing insulation in alot of firms is getting done by labourers who dont care. the trade is being turned into a production line. some firms up ere have labs beading, other lads spraying and labs scraping. nobody gives a flying because the next guy will sort it scenario kicks in - no pride in the finished product.
only in wet trades do you get this where any straggler can walk in the door and say "i can do that" and bam your on the render.
just imagine walking into a joinery shop and not being able to prove a skill and a level of quality ? they would not give you a job, simple.
imagine one man measuring the skirts and marking em, then some other lad cutting em then some other lad fixing em ? ? ? madness it would never happen because they know the quality will suffer. Why then are they turning render into a production line when it requires a skilled tradesman from start to end ? ?

I also want to gain a qauli for boarding so would be very interested in a course, as you can tell by the name I'm no spring chicken which is probably why I want to do it the right way,I live in south wales but am willing to travel,any information on this would really be apprciated, don't really want to do the rendering side of this as I feel I'm a bit long in the tooth.Many thanks in advance.
We're you from dazza I'm from cfon I've been on a weatherby and knauf day course
you will have to jump about abit just doing the boarding
gangs tend to what to do the boarding themselfs,then they can split the metreage price into a third,third for boarding, third for scriming and a third for dashing then theres no arguements about someone doing all the light easy work and someone having to toll their nuts off and also the site where on now all the boardings been done in front of us,so for the last 4 weeks when the weathers been to cold to spread first thing,we,ve been at home when we could of boarded up till the tempreture got high enough then gone rendering for a few hours,also if you do the lot you leave it how you want it and are not forever going round site getting someone back to square revels up,so if i was you i,d just say you can do the lot and you,ll have more chance of getting work.

Weber in Bedfordshire and SAS in Exeter have courses. £150-180. You do not get an NVQ though and you are going to need it.
In my opinion we should be doing everything, the boarding, thin coat and finish or nothing. We have only ourselves to blame for tolerating boarders and beaders etc. I wouldn't stand for it. Bad boarders then the following men blame the previous.
If we are not careful this trade will become semi skilled.
