Painting & Decorating

Painting and decorating is not as simple as slapping on some paint and throwing up some wallpaper. On this course we’ll take you through the entire decorating process from the all important preparation work, right through to the finishing touches. You’ll learn how to deal with all types of surfaces, both internally and externally, so you can have the satisfaction of improving the finish of your home or rental, or start working in the paint or home decorating industry.

Upon completion of this course you will be awarded a Stotts Cengage Education Painting and Decorating Certificate.
