5 Day Intensive Rendering Course

This is a ‘hands-on’ practical course that will give you the skills and understanding to cover all areas of rendering work. We will teach you how to render to a high, professional standard through various structured stages that will progress your development over the 5 days spent on the course. This will all take place within our dedicated rendering area that has been specially designed for the purpose of this course.

Throughout the course you will learn many facets of rendering including the many different types of rendering finishes that are available and what tools you will need to produce these finishes. We will also be teaching you other important areas such as understanding when to use expansion joints and how to do Ashlar Jointing. Rest assured, on completion of the course you will be competent and confident to take on any rendering projects. This course is designed for literally anyone. Whether you are a beginner or someone who has previous knowledge of rendering techniques, the course is designed for anyone who would like to learn this specialist area. The course will give you the knowledge, experience or confidence to produce professional quality of rendering work.

The tutors delivering this course will share with you their knowledge from many years experience so you can learn these specialist skills and you will learn at a speed that is comfortable to you as an individual.

However, if there are any other areas of rendering or plastering that you require training for, then we will cover those by developing a bespoke course to cater for your requirements. Please call or leave your details and we’ll provide further information. Upon completion of the course you will receive an Access Training Certificate. You will also be able to take away the work you have produced to present to prospective clients and customers. These will become your ‘sample boards’ that prove your skills and the quality finish you can achieve as a craftsman within the customer’s home.
