2 Week City & Guilds Painting & Decorating Course
(City & Guilds 6218 Award in Basic Construction Skills)
Course overview
Access Training is a City & Guilds and CAA approved training centre and is able to offer the City & Guilds 6218 Award in Painting & Decorating.
This course is designed to give the candidate an industry recognised Award in Painting & Decorating. It consists of 2 weeks of on-site specialist training designed to provide you with a wide-ranging painting & decorating awareness to ensure that once you leave the training centre, you have the confidence and are proficient in a vast range areas of painting & decorating. The Decorating Course takes place at our purpose built bespoke training centre and the course can be split up into weekly elements that you can complete in your own time.
At Access Training our ethos is to ensure that each individual gains the practical hand skills and the training through quality individual Tutoring that they need to go on and achieve what they want with their Painting and Decorating skills. We provide all the materials and tools needed to get the most out of the course, which takes place within our specially designed training centre dedicated to Decorating Courses.
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for literally anyone. It is designed for adults of any age who want to undertake Painting & Decorating tasks, but do not have the knowledge, experience or confidence to produce a professional finish and to work safely. The tutors delivering this course will share with you their knowledge from many years experience so you can learn the necessary skills to take on these jobs safely and correctly and you will learn at a speed that is comfortable to you as an individual.
You will gain the highest standard of achievement
All candidates will receive a certificate to confirm their attendance upon completion of the course. It is also an option for individuals to sit an examination covering the aspects they have covered on the course, even though this course is accredited. This can be provided for delegates as an optional examination that can help those students who intend to progress onto other courses. However, delegates will receive a certificate accredited by Access Training.

Progress routes
After this course some students decide to go further and undertake other courses to broaden their scope of work. We recommend that extending your Painting & Decorating training at a later date would give you a greater skill level and the higher qualification of a City & Guilds Certificate. However, attending the course as a complete extended package ensures that you as a student have a greater level of practical experience as well as theoretical knowledge of decorating to use straight away. This provides students who successfully complete both courses with a good grounding and the ability to carry out many tasks and increase their scope of work.
