Want to earn more, Land Bigger Jobs & Get the Recognition You Deserve as a Plasterer?
If you’re already doing the work, why not get the NVQ Level 2 Qualification that proves it, and gets you paid more for it?
At Portland training, we offer a simple way for working plasterers to get assessed and become qualified, without taking any time away from site, and no classroom based work.
Here’s why getting your NVQ Level 2 could be one of the best moves you make.

What’s an NVQ Level 2 in Plastering?
The NVQ Level 2 is a nationally recognised qualification that proves you’re good at what you do. It’s based on what you already know and do every day at work.
You don’t have to sit exams or spend months in a classroom. Instead, an assessor will come to your site, watch you work and help you build a portfolio to show your skills.
If you’re already experienced, it’s about proving it officially with an NVQ related to your trade.
Why Smart Plasterers Get the NVQ Level 2 – Before It Costs Them Work
Keep Earning – Even when Jobs are Tight
When work dries up, companies keep the qualified tradesmen. Your NVQ can help you stay in work while others get let go.
Job security – No Matter What The Economy Does
During uncertain times, the safest workers are the ones with solid proof of their skills. Your NVQ Level 2 is your insurance towards having a more stable career in plastering.
Be the Plasterer Everyone Trusts
Site managers, and employers don’t want to guess. An NVQ level 2 tells them that you’ve got solid proof that you’re competent in your field, instantly.
No CSCS Card, No Entry
Most big jobs now require a Blue CSCS Card. Without your NVQ, you could be turned away at the gate. Even if you’ve done the job for years.
