Introduction to Painting & Decorating Course:

 

Firstly, if you have little to no experience, then we would recommend you start with an Introduction to Painting & Decorating CourseThe course will give you the fundamentals, you'll learn the basics of working on walls and ceilings, skirting boards and window frames. You'll even get a certificate at the end of this 5-day course!

This is ideal for people looking to grasp the basics, maybe you want to spruce up some rooms in your house, do a spot of interior design or even renovate properties. However, if you're seriously considering a career in this trade you'll need to take a more long-term course.
