Chris and Jordan completed the spray introduction course at the dulux academy in slough, where James, the instructor was exceptional in his teachings and demonstrations. James was able to answer every question and gave the guys valuable experience going forward.

Welcomed on arrival by the tutor, Matt and a bacon roll. Great facilities, well structured course and knowledgeable/experienced tutor. Tasty lunch and dessert supplied. Consideration of an hour siesta after lunch as an addition to the course would be great 😂. Thank you for a great course, will be back for more!

What's not to love about this group of individuals. What ever course you go on you will pick up and learn so much more and meet like minded people and enjoy the investment you have made in yourself. Urban Effect's 2 this time for me, and Matt's knowledge on the subject is second to none.

A great 2 day course made great and memorable by Mark the trainer. I was warmly greeted by Mark on day one with a free Dulux coffee cup. Mark had lots of experience in the industry and knew what he was doing. Both days were broken up with interesting facts and fun from Mark. Mark went above and beyond. *Highly Recommend this course*

The whole day was great, Fantastic course lead by Matt - Wallpaper Murals. From start to finish the training was hands on with plenty of time to ask questions as you went on to install multiple Murals. 5 stars to all aspects

I recently attended a training session at the Dulux Academy in Thurrock, and I must commend James Wildish for making the day exceptionally productive and enjoyable. From the outset, James's passion and expertise were evident, and his approachable nature made learning effortless and engaging. His ability to break down complex techniques into manageable steps ensured that everyone, regardless of their prior experience, could grasp the art of spraying with confidence. James provided hands-on guidance, encouraging us to experiment and refine our skills. His insightful tips and tricks significantly enhanced my understanding and skillset, making me feel well-prepared for my spraying journey in decorating. The enthusiasm and excitement he instilled in us were contagious, and I left the academy eager to apply everything I had learned. James not only imparted technical knowledge but also inspired creativity and confidence—a true mark of outstanding instruction. I highly recommend his sessions to anyone looking to elevate their decorating skills.

Third course I've done here, always have a good time. Feel well looked after and it's nice to be in a friendly environment with other people (especially if you work alone) Always learn something new and leave feeling more confident :)

The knowledge how and where to use colour is very important for running a decorating business. Dulux academy provides great possibilities to find out all the aspects how to present the colours for the client. I will recommend this course for everyone who thinking about knowing something about the colours.
