Your hands-on project
Lay out and install a panel on a supported wall trainer with one service opening and a corner-bead sample. Use the supplied assembly specification; ceiling handling is performed only with instructor-controlled support.
Final knowledge test
Ten questions specific to Drywall Installation, covering the skills, decisions, calculations and safety boundaries taught in this course. Each question is worth two points. Pass mark: 16 out of 20 (80%).
The instructor provides the test after training. Approved accessibility support may change how you respond while keeping the same learning standard.
Practical assessment
Complete the course project and demonstrate the skills individually. Five criteria are scored from 0–4. Pass mark: 16 out of 20 (80%), with no criterion below 2 and every critical safety check passed.
What your instructor will assess
- Inspect the work zone, supports, and concealed-service assumptions.
- Prepare a sensible sheet layout and correct panel selection.
- Cut the panel/opening to the specified training dimensions without damaging services.
- Fasten with supported edges and no uncorrected overdriven or missed fasteners.
- Identify rated-assembly requirements and complete a pre-finish inspection.
Training boundaries: Use mechanical support or an approved team lift for panels. No unsupported overhead sheets, live service cutouts, or disturbance of suspect legacy materials.
Earn your certificate of completion
- Complete both days and all required learning activities; missed content must be made up.
- Pass the knowledge test and practical assessment separately; a strong score in one does not cancel a failed result in the other.
- Pass every critical safety check and receive the instructor’s sign-off.
If you need more practice, your instructor records the missing skills and assigns focused review and reassessment. Certificates are issued only after all requirements are met.
Your certificate records completion of this Construction Guys course. It is not a contractor license, trade license, or authorization to perform regulated work independently.
Next learning step: Drywall Finishing & Texture. Your instructor can help you choose based on demonstrated skills.
