Do I need an NVQ in plastering
Plastering NVQ Level 2 is available to all time served and skilled plasterers, those of you who have never previously had the time or the opportunity to gain a qualification to reflect their plastering ability.

An NVQ in plastering is a formal qualification. This is to 'prove' or 'show' potential customers and/or clients that you are competent within your trade.
We are aware that some old school plasterers say they don't need to prove themselves as they have been plastering for many years.
In this case you can do a 1-2 day assessment, known as Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA).
