Ornamental Plastering – Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Plastering – Fibrous

Level 2 Plastering NVQ
Introduction to fibrous plastering NVQ

As a plasterer, you are the person who gives that classy, finishing touch to the otherwise coarse floor, wall and ceiling surface. Plastering is achieved through a wide range of substances all depending on the type of finish the property owner or architect had in mind. Plastering is a promising career with over 1000 new qualified plasterers required by the construction industry in the UK every year.  There are two branches of plastering you can go into and that will determine the Level 2 plastering NVQ you pursue – fibrous or solid.

Fibrous plastering NVQ is the ornamental plastering badge

Most people are more familiar with solid plastering as compared to fibrous plastering. Fibrous plastering is the more delicate of the two. If you are to obtain a Level 2 Plastering NVQ in fibrous plastering, you will be assessed on how well you can perform ornamental plastering such as cornices, ceiling roses, architraves and ornamental columns. In fact, fibrous plasterers are also often referred to as ornamental plasterers.

Fibrous plastering has a more artistic feel than solid plastering and you will have to closely work with artists, interior designers and architects. The plastering is achieved using casts and moulds. The artistic element means that as a candidate for a Level 2 fibrous plaster NVQ, you will spend as much time at the workshop making the casts and moulds with your presence at the construction site only being to perform the plastering based on the mould.

Assessment for fibrous plastering NVQ

When you are evaluated for award of the fibrous plastering NVQ Level 2 , the assessor will want to see how competent you are in producing, placing, securing and repairing fibrous plastering components at the construction site. The Plaster NVQ assessor will also check whether you can produce cement castings. You must be ready to demonstrate your commitment to adhere to work efficiency, safety best practice and the management of plastering and non-plastering resources in site.

The Level 2 fibrous Plastering NVQ is further broken down into two options- basic and full. The primary distinction between the two is that the full fibrous plaster NVQ includes assessment on the candidate’s capability to produce fibrous plastering components. As a qualified Level 2 fibrous plastering NVQ, you have a wide range of potential work environments to choose from. You could work anywhere from small scale domestic projects to large commercial construction sites.
