Master home improvement and become a style icon
The Painting & Decorating industry plays a vital role in both the construction and home improvement sectors, with ongoing demand across residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. As the industry evolves with new tools and sustainable methods, like water-based paints and dustless sanding, it offers exciting and modern opportunities.
Delivered at Taunton College, you’ll train in purpose-built painting and decorating workshops equipped with industry-standard tools, materials, and resources. Each project simulates real-life working conditions, giving you the experience to plan, prepare, and complete decorating tasks to professional specifications.
You’ll take on practical assignments, gaining real-world experience that mirrors what’s expected on site. Collaboration with other construction trades, such as carpentry, plastering, and brickwork, helps you understand how decorators fit within the wider building process.
