Hiya, I'm halfway through my level 2 after completing my level 1 and nocing course, discovered a love for plastering bit late in life (am 30) but would love nothing more than to have a career doing this, (was always told to find something you love and get paid for it). I'm under no illusion that completing these courses makes me a plasterer hence why I'm here, hoping someone in the North East would be willing to allow me to shadow/labour for free for a while to gain a bit of experience in the real world or give me some advice on who/where to contact to get a bit of experience. Now for the bad news (but don't let it put you off)......I'm female.
