Excellent course. Great facilities, and James the Instructor clearly really knew his stuff. The course was well structured and covered everything I needed to know
Very good. Worth every penny.
A course about paint that I thought would be rubbish but it was fantastic. Don't judge a book by its cover.
The structure of the course was excellent. The right amount of theory and lots of practical activities. This was easily the best trade related course I've taken. Matt was an exceptional instructor. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient. He made the 2 day course fun and enjoyable. Dulux are lucky to have him.
I have now been to the academy a couple of times as their courses are brilliant. Full of info and tips. All my questions answered. Some advice as to where to take my new skills for the future too. Awesome. The Academy staff are all amazing and so skilled. I know I am being trained by some of the best for sure. :)
Great training - really thorough and interesting, made me feel more confident in my approach to paint preparation - thank you Dulux team!
Excellent training course, great teacher. Would definitely do another course.
The professionals talk me throw all i needed to know on painting and tips very spacious place staff very nice meals and chilled drinks complement on dulux academy be back in the future to do my advance course and many more cheers michael
It was my first time attending a practical Painting and Decorating training and I thoroughly enjoyed and learner how to paint. Matt is an excellent and patient teacher who made sure that I had an understanding of what to do. He explained things very well. Many Thanks
Well taught by a knowledgeable tutor , who gave good theoretical advice and lets us work practically. Good hints and tips such as "Always use a sharp knife" how to hold the wet paper etc
I gained more confidence coming out of the course than when I first walked into them. The courses I attended (apart from the wide width) I hadn’t done since my time as an apprentice at college, so it was refreshing to get back into it and jog a few memories. I was made to feel extremely welcome by the academy team from day 1, by Vickie, Tony and Matt. The facilities are second to none, kept extremely tidy and the course content is great for both beginners and experienced decorators. Tony and Matt made the whole experience class! Both top top tradesmen in our decorating world. I cannot speak highly enough of them, and I feel like even though I only had 3 days with them, I could call on them for advise at any time which is a massive plus for me!
Was very interesting and learnt some very important things Would recommend it to anyone who's wanting to spray
The team are always great, marks tuition on courses is fantastic this is the third one I have completed and can’t recommend enough.
I went on the one day spray painting course and it was good, the only thing I would've like to have done more was to practice. It was informative, useful and had a good pace but I'd have liked say half an hour rather than just taking turns in trying out the machines.
Never taught how to paint ceiling which I needed to know. Painting walls watching dulux videos on the correct procedures was never taught. Starting 3/4 the way up the wall and covering with so much paint, was never explained.
Matt was great, learned a lot, food was great too, very good course
Fantastic new course with extremely knowledgeable instructor. I would thoroughly recommend it.
Thoroughly professional instruction from start to finish in an excellent facility. The vibe of the whole 2 days was so positive it made the experience a pleasure. Learning in small groups with a knowledgeable instructor (James) will always give a successful outcome. 5 stars all the way!!
Very knowledgeable instructor, great practical section and catering was excellent. I learned a lot.
Hi Dulux Academy slough is the nice and clean place the tutor Matt is very nice and very friendly and very well manners I enjoyed the day
