Free Level 3 Diploma in Painting and Decorating Course

Anyone can put paint on a wall. Making it last five years is the trade!

Our free painting and decorating course starts where most people skip ahead. Preparation. Ninety per cent of a good finish happens before the topcoat goes anywhere near the surface. And there is a health side to it. HSE names painters and decorators among the at-risk groups in construction, with lead, solvents, dust and asbestos all in the mix. Sanding an old window frame is not a small decision.

Colour theory, specialist materials, estimating and client care all feature. And none of it assumes you have held a brush professionally.

Why Choose Our Free Painting and Decorating Course?

Our free training is great because you can study in a way that suits you. For example:

1. Learn at your own speed
2. Written by working decorators
3. Health and safety built in
4. Short quiz after each lesson
5. Support by chat, phone or email
6. Free from beginning to end

What You Will Learn from Our Programme

The course follows a job from empty room to final invoice:

1. Learn the health, safety and environmental rules that apply.
2. Prepare surfaces properly, which is most of the work.
3. Master the decorative finishes clients pay extra for.
4. Choose colours using theory rather than guesswork.
5. Use specialist materials where ordinary paint will not do.
6. Plan a job, manage it and price it accurately.
7. Handle clients well enough that they recommend you.
8. Understand how a working site operates around you.

What Makes Our Programme Different

Colour theory sounds like an art class. It is the difference between doing what a client asked and telling them why the north facing room will look cold in that shade. So clients pay more for somebody who advises them. That is a decorator, rather than a pair of hands with a roller.

Entry Requirements

Our course is open to complete beginners. Our free course is perfect for you if you can do these things:

1. Read and understand everyday English.
2. Use a computer or phone with confidence.
3. Study around work in your own time.
4. Do not need any trade background.
5. Care about how a finish looks close up.

Lifetime Certificate Validity

Read that line again. Yes, you have seen it right! Your certificate holds good for life, with nothing to renew. The high-quality version costs just £5 when you finish. A hardcopy costs a little more.

Who Is This UK Course for?

Homeowners doing up their own place often start here. And tradespeople adding decorating to what they offer come next. Some learners are working towards painting and decorating apprenticeships and want the theory first. And anyone already on the tools will find the estimating section pays for itself.

Career Paths

The skill itself gets built on real walls, under somebody who already knows. Take this as the knowledge that goes with it. A painting and decorating job could mean:

1. Painter and Decorator
2. Decorating Assistant or Improver
3. Property Maintenance Operative
4. Site Painter
5. Self-employed Decorator
