Great day learnt a lot
Great course. Excellent facilities.
We attended the Wallpaper Introduction Course as complete beginners and it was worth every penny! This is the first Dulux Academy course we have attended and we will definitely be back for more. Matt is a fantastic teacher and takes the time to answer all of your questions. There's so much more to hanging wallpaper than we would have realised and Matt made sure that we adopted good habits from the get-go. As vegans, we were super impressed with the food provided - with strict dietary requirements you're not sure what you're going to get but we did not go hungry! 10/10, would recommend!
well organised beforehand and very informative, practical and useful course on the day.
I have used the Dulux academy for all of my training. I can’t fault any of the academy team as they are all very supportive. I would highly recommend using the Dulux academy course to either learn new skills or refresh yourself. Steven Plater Dedicated Decorating
We have been sending our decorators and apprentices to the academy since it opened. Consistently amazing tutition by a passionate team, with support afterwards. The food and facilities are amazing and they really go above and beyond to exceed expectations.
Helpful, Matt has a brilliant way of teaching and learning. Matt is a really nice guy and extremely talented. Always amazed at what he can do and makes it looks so easy and then has the great ability to show others how to do it. Now that’s a skill in itself. Respect. The skills you learn add such value. Would highly recommend. Value for money at its best.

The training courses at the academy are first class with excellent tutors. While being your teacher for the day they also respect you as a decorator and your experience. There is always a warm welcome and you are encouraged to ask questions. I have attended many courses and I have never come away feeling that I didn’t learn something from the day.
I have attended many courses here over the years it is without doubt the best decorating training centre in the UK . The instructors are second to none they are brilliant, the difference is they are all ex Decorators themselves with decades of trade experience behind them so they have a no nonsense approach to all of their work, a qualified Decorator of nearly 50 years I have no hesitation in recommending the Academy
It was a fabulous course from start to finish. You walk into a lovely greeting and most importantly a brew. The course was given by a fantastic trainer, Tony. Very knowledgable and fully open to questions. The whole day was lovely and well thought out. Came away knowing what I went there for and much more. Definitely will be going back for more courses.
