A 5 Star hands in learning experience…

A 5 Star hands in learning experience in UPVC spraying techniques in an extremely well provisioned training environment. Pete is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects and not only provided a well delivered and informative training course, also provided real world practical advice.

I have just completed a course with Ian…

I have just completed a course with Ian and I can confidently say he is an excellent trainer – very knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about teaching. I only started spray painting around two months ago, so I am still very new to the industry, but this course gave me a lot of confidence.

Ian is very patient, explains everything clearly, and takes the time to make sure you understand not just how to do things, but why you do them a certain way.

The words you said to me at the end of the course truly meant a lot to me and made my day. I really appreciate the support and encouragement.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their finishing skills and learn from someone who really knows the trade.

Absolute legend
