Plastering Courses

Welcome to PATS...

The Plastering and Artexing Training School (PATS) is a training centre located in Salisbury set in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside.

It has recently acquired a larger location making it now one of the largest private training schools in the country.
The instruction is carried out by City and Guilds qualified craftsman with excess of 60 years' practical experience between them.

These courses are designed to give each trainee maximum individual attention, enabling them to develop at their own pace as their knowledge and confidence grows. Over the past 18 years we have developed excellent skills in training various plastering trades in a strictly practical framework. We pride ourselves in our ability to create a relaxed and friendly environment, whilst learning new and exciting skills.

Student Comments

"Absolutely superb. The combination of humour and straightforward instructions work brilliantly. A special mention to Alan who has a sympathetic nature to the needy! To complete what you do in a week on the plastering course will amaze you."

Arrangements for Accommodation

As applicants travel from all regions of the U.K. special rates for accommodation have been arranged with local Guest Houses/Hotels. From basic Bed & Breakfast to family accommodation, as we have noticed a rising trend to bring the family while you attend the course. Families can treat themselves to local sites and amenities, as Salisbury is a Cathedral City steeped in history within the tourist area of the New Forest, close to Hampshire and Dorset.
