Hi everyone, just joined. I have a couple of questions to ask please. I completed a city & guilds level 2 diploma in plastering (solid) in july 2013 with a distinction. I'm currently studying a CSkills level 2 diploma in maintanence operations. In september I will be starting my CSkills level 3 diploma in plastering. I wondered is it more theory or practical based? I will be paying for the course so wondering what I will gain exactly from doing it. Also is it really worth doing an NVQ 3 in plastering or will the diploma be just fine or does the NVQ have more weight to it, after I have finished the course I shall be going for my cscs card to work on site, but wondered what colour card would I get being as I would only have a diploma rather than an NVQ.
