Built from the trade
Learn from someone who has done the work.
Craig Parker has spent 38 years plastering in real homes and on real building sites. He knows the small details that make the difference between fighting the plaster and getting a finish you can be proud of.
The academy turns that experience into clear, hands-on teaching. There is no assumption that you already know the terminology, the tools or the process. Craig shows you what to do, explains why it matters and gives you the time to practise it properly.
What makes the academy different
No waffle. No judgement. Just proper training.
Complete beginners welcome
You do not need trade experience. The process is taught clearly from preparation through to the final finish.
Hands-on from the start
This is practical training. You learn by mixing, applying and finishing plaster—not by sitting through hours of theory.
