Learning hands on, practical skills that you can use around the home
In this *free Painting and Decorating course, we can help you to develop your practical skills, learning how to correctly prepare a wall for paint or wall paper, prepare a skirting board for gloss and how to “cut in” to get paint into those hard to reach places.

Following a tailor designed course, you will be guided through how to:
1: Identify different tools and what their perfect use is.
2: Understand about the need of health and safety in a workshop and the precautions to take to minimise the risk to yourself or others.
3: Prepare a wall correctly ready for either wall paper or painting.
4: Learn which type of paint is best suited for the job you are completing.
5: Learn hints and tricks on how to get that smooth coverage of paint on the wall or to get rid of any unwanted air bubbles from your wallpaper.
