they are very expensive and i dont have that kind of money to throw away
It is better to get hands on experience. Apply with one of the general contractors and tell them you are willing to learn. You start out as a clean up person and then mixing the cement. Then you can move up. But this will teach you everything about the job and you can find out if that is really what you want to do. Go to your local lumber yard or hardware store or check the phone book to find contractors in your area. You can earn money while learning and most of them could use more help.

I want to work as a plasterer, i have no experience from before, i have seen loads of intensive course providers on the net. Are they worth it? do they really teach you what you need to know?

No because the most important thing you need to learn is technique and the skills involved in plastering a wall from scratch. How best to get a good finish can be explained but you need to practice this and other techniques to become a competent plasterer. Look at the CITB website for trade courses: http://www.cskills.org/search/index.aspx?keyword=Plastering&btnGoSearch=Go

did you try the citb website, i know they have courses in scotland but think its more in glasgow. im sure someone can help you if you try it.
