This course will provide you with the skills you need to work as a painter and decorator in the construction sector. Your learning will be a mixture of practical and theory and in practical lessons you will work through a series of tasks and projects to develop your hands-on skills, set by the awarding body.
Following your initial assessment, an individual learning plan is created which will highlight your strengths and details any areas of need.
The course is broken down into units focusing on specific areas which are then assessed. This will allow us to check your progress before the next module begins. Don’t worry! Each unit is carefully programmed, and delivered to ensure you receive training appropriate for you.
Areas covered include:
- Safe Working Practices
- Building Methods and Construction Technology
- Brush and Roller Painting
- Papering Walls and Ceilings
- Decorative Finishes
- Creating and Applying Colour

This course also includes visits, guest speakers, training opportunities and work experience. We take part in various competitions, including the annual Norfolk and Waveney Building Apprentices’ competition, to showcase the skills and determination of our students.
