Invaluable

This is the second Paintech course I have attended.The first was Estimating and this time was the intensive airless. Both courses were fantastic. Pete's knowledge is second to none. I cannot recommend their value highly enough.

Kitchen and furniture course …

I thought the course was very informative and the knowledge of Pete was very good
I just was expecting more I think of the practical areas , I thought that we would be spraying actual kitchens and pieces of furniture
I’m booked onto the intense airless course next month and although I’m sure I will definitely pick up some great tips, knowledge and more useful techniques I’m wondering what practical sides we will be doing at the Preston centre

A Great Easy to understand Spraying Course

Myself & my employee attended the City & Guilds Intensive Airless Spraying Course in Preston ran by Pete Wilkinson and his wife Tracey.
We were both novices to spraying and were worried the course maybe too complicated and technical, but we needn't of worried.
On the first day Pete ran us through all the basics of spraying including all the spraying machines components, safety and what the sprayer actually does in a simple easy to understand way where you actually take in the information.
There's lots of practical workshops too where you can get hands on with the spraying equipment, working on ceilings, walls, skirting boards, door frames & spindles.
Again Pete explains the methods of using the gun & spray unit in different ways for different surfaces, spray pressures or what tips to use in a easy understandable way.
What I liked about this course was there was six in the class, which in my opinion is better than one to one as you get to learn more as we all see each others mistakes and learn by them and other students may ask questions you may not of thought of.
We also learnt all the benefits of spraying over traditional painting such as speed & finish.
I was that confident when finishing this course I immediately went and ordered my first spray unit and have so far used it on a couple of projects and am very happy with the results, for instance a staircase that would normally take me a day to give 2 coats to brush & roll the ceiling & walls took me 1 hour 15 minutes to spray both coats to a great finish.
I would certainly recommend this course to anyone looking to get into spraying or who is already spraying and wants to improve their technique.
Plus don't forget if you are CITB registered you can get funding to pay for the course, I did.

Preston 2 day furniture spraying…

I attended the 2 day furniture spraying course in Preston last month and thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

Not only did Pete have a huge wealth of experience and knowledge on spraying but his extensive teaching background meant his delivery was spot on too. Nothing was too formal or up tight, it was relaxed and enjoyable, which is exactly what you want if you’re in the building trade.

I’m a joiner by trade and wanted to get into spraying to deliver a better end result to my customers and raise my standard of work to help me target more high end work and I feel this course has helped set me on that trajectory.

I can’t recommend this course enough and if your business is registered with the CITB some courses are fully funded too.

I’d like to thank Pete and the team for creating a fantastic learning environment and providing all the aftercare and support you need to get going on your spraying journey!

Airless intensive Preston

It was an enjoyable and informative course which gave me a good understanding of all things Airless spray related.
As a complete novice I now have the confidence to embark on my spraying journey.
The back up support and information received are going to prove extremely useful should I have any queries in the future.
Highly recommended.
