Shropshire’s first ever In-house Plastering Apprenticeship.

V&D Interiors based in Telford are running Shropshire’s first ever plastering apprenticeship in September 2023. Being ran under the Shropshire Training Academy brand, the course offers apprentice’s practical skills in all areas of plastering over 24 months. With a series of modules teaching apprentices how to Skim, Dot and Dab and render, to name a few.

All training is done by V&D Interior’s own Paul Nightingale, who boasts over 40 years experience in the plastering trade. With Paul’s guidance, trainees will earn a level 2 NVQ in plastering, which can lead to employment opportunities in the industry, including with V&D.

British Gypsum, the UK’s leading plastering supplier, have already funded a 6-week plastering course for current V&D trainees, earning significant plastering skills. This has proved a great success with trainees being nominated for industry awards.

Shropshire training academy is currently still accepting applications. We are working towards helping reduce the skill gap in the industry. Giving opportunities to the local community in Shropshire to help generate jobs and industry.
