Course Overview

This practical course is the perfect next step if you have completed the Level 1 in Painting and Decorating and is also designed for people who are completing an NVQ2 in painting and decorating since the two qualifications can be gained together. The course enables you to gain the skills and knowledge you need to become a successful professional painter and decorator. You will gain experience of the latest techniques and technology, learning in an environment which simulates real working conditions, and also build your knowledge of health and safety in the decorating industry. This Level 2 Diploma in Painting and Decorating qualification provides the knowledge, understanding and skills related to the equivalent NVQ Unit.
