5 Day Introductory Painting & Decorating Courses

Welcome to Able Skills 5 day Introductory Painting & Decorating Courses

If you need to learn various aspects of decorating, Able Skills can provide you with a comprehensive 5 day introductory course which will ensure that you finish your training competent enough to undertake a number of decorating tasks.

Our 5 day Introductory Painting & Decorating Course will provide you with a great insight and understanding of decorating whether you are a total beginner or have some previous decorating experience.

If you set out with the intention of attending purely for the purposes of DIY then you will not be disappointed; this decorating course will meet your expectations and you will be ready to give any decorating project a go.

At the same time, if you have a desire to move onto a Painting & Decorating qualification, then this will also act as your underpinning knowledge to move forward when you are ready.

We are not claiming to make you a qualified Painter/Decorator in 5 days but we do promise to provide you with dedicated Painting & Decorating training and an excellent opportunity to progress further if you want.

Our 5 day Painting & Decorating courses will act as a great basis for work within the industry but we do recommend that you consider additional training if you want to sustain a long term career as a Painter/Decorator.

If you feel that 5 days is not enough to fulfil your needs, Able Skills also offers a 5 day Advanced Painting & Decorating course.

Alternatively, if you are looking to gain a full Painting and Decorating qualification, Able Skills can provide you with a C&G 5 Week Painting & Decorating Certificate.

In addition to this, we also offer a 7 week option which is also City & Guilds accredited and in addition, will register you onto a NVQ Level 2 programme. Please visit the relevant pages for full details of what is available at Able Skills in this particular area.

If you decide to upgrade to the full 5 or 7 week package, we will adjust your training time and fees to accommodate for the 5 day Painting & Decorating course completed. Whether you do decide to upgrade or not, the week spent with us will not have been wasted as you will have gained a great deal of practical knowledge.

We try to make all training as accessible as possible to everyone so if you have weekly commitments but would still like to learn Painting & Decorating, we offer both this Intensive course and our Advanced option over weekends (2 consecutive weekends per course.)
