One thing that separates our plastering courses from all of the others is that we have a specialized system (curriculum) that we teach. This system is one of the secrets to our team's success. Most construction schools have no curriculum and basically the instructor teaches whatever may pop into his/hers head each day for class.

We believe in teaching you how to avoid doing botched jobs at all costs. How to increase the value of your property or your services so you can make more disposable income for yourself. And how to increase your employment oppurtunities. The techniques you will be shown will help you in setting short, intermediate, and long-term goals in plastering.

The tuition is thorough and we have used it to help many students into the plastering business. This 8 Day Plastering Course is strenuos, so if you think this is for you buckle up and be prepared for some hard graft.

This website is full of feedback and examples of students of The Elite School of Plastering who've successfully made the leap from dreams to reality. But as you read it, keep in mind that these stories are just the tip of the iceberg. We have success stories every week and hopefully soon you can be one too.

James Johnson attended the 8 day Plastering course in March 07. This is his story:

When I came on board and signed up for the 8 day course, it was just like you say, your wife thinks your crazy for spending that kind of money on a dream. However, I already knew that construction was a great industry. I had pretty good limited success in the past with my plastering and I just needed the meat instead of the milk that I had been trying to learn about for so long. Well Tesop, you definitely delivered! I went into the course with high hopes and expectations because of some of the other testimonies in the previous courses. They mentioned a lot of confidence and so forth. I was pretty sceptical about learning a new skill in so short a time. But, I could live with twice as much work. I actually said to my wife, If we can get twice as much work in the next few months, then keep growing it from there, you wouldn't have to go back to work in the Autumn. (background: my wife is a school teacher). Talk about pressure. In March 2007, just before the 8 day course started, you sent out an information pack to help me get my head around the tools and materials. I did that the day after I got the mail, so I had about 2 days in February reading up on the techniques in Plastering. Previously, December was my biggest month ever at over £2,057 for just tiling work. That was a good month. However, March topped it at £2844. I couldn't help thinking that because of the plastering course with Tesop, my wife won't have to work outside the house anymore. In the end, it came down to good knowledge put into practice and 2-3 months of hard work putting into practise the techniques learned on the course. Trevor and Mike have been great too. The whole experience was been taxing on the energy, but well worth it. I can't wait to tell you where I am in 6 months from now.

At the end of the day, the success of The Elite School of Plastering isn't what matters. All that matters is the success of our students. Our students' success after their training is the measure of our success. Have you noticed that most colleges get real vague about what their students do and say? Or they quote vague statements like: "It was great". What the heck does that mean?

If you are already an established successful tradesperson, consider this an invite to step into another oppurtunity for your business. Tilers, Joiners, Plumbers, Kitchen Fitters. You will all gain from having plastering under your belt. You can expect to gain at least a 20% or 30% increase in business (in addition to your regular business) by learning plastering to the standard we expect from our 8 Day Plastering Course.
