Intermediate Construction Award

Plastering
ICA’S are aimed at people who are not at this moment working in the construction industry or people wishing to change trades, either within the construction industry or not. All assessments and training are completed within training establishments. All ICA units are related to their equivalent NVQ unit, and will tell you what extra assessment is needed to gain the related NVQ unit once working on site. To achieve this award you must also pass an independent Health & Safety test and a separate knowledge test (knowledge test taken at the centre at mutually agreeable dates).

Units you must complete to achieve this award are as follows:-

ICA 100 Store materials & equipment
ICA 101 Erect & dismantle basic working platforms
ICA 102 Work efficiently
ICA 116 Fix sheet materials
ICA 117 Internal solid plastering
ICA 118 External solid plastering
ICA 119 Floor screeding
ICA 120 Dry lining - direct bond
ICA 121 Basic fibrous plastering
ICA 122 Basic repairs to fibrous plastering

Health & Safety will be integral to all of the above units.


The Award/NVQ for which you are registering can be tailored to your requirements:-

Example:
1. Week every other month or
2. Week blocks every 3-4 months
3. Six week block syllabus

This is normally discussed on induction before commencement of your course, to ensure mutual (you and centre) requirements. As each individual achieves at different levels of learning, the course can be extended to ensure all units/elements are covered, until you are confident within your chosen trade.
