"A really good starting point" - read course feedback

The course was well received by delegates. Decorator Ian Frost was one of the first to take the course, which he believes will help a lot of decorators upskill.

Ian said: "As ever, it was a good day packed full of info and lots of little nuggets to help you with kitchen, furniture and bedrooms etc. What Tony Pearson-Young did teach us was how to set your stall out professionally and in a way to minimise problems further along the process - how to suitably prepare different surfaces - the different types of kitchen you’ll come across and the quirks you'll need to overcome."

"In summary, it's a really good starting point for those wishing to increase their skills and offering to clients," he added.
