This Painting and Decorating Techniques and Surface Preparation Level 3 course consists of six structured lectures, followed by an assessment and final exam, each addressing a core area of painting and decorating knowledge and professional awareness.

The course begins with health and safety in the painting and decorating industry, covering regulatory awareness, hazard identification, risk management, and safe use of tools, equipment, and materials.

Advanced painting techniques focus on surface preparation concepts and awareness of specialist application methods such as stippling, rag rolling, and textured finishes. Learners examine the characteristics of specialist paints and finishes, including metallic and decorative coatings.

Wallpapering modules introduce measuring and calculating materials, preparing surfaces, and pattern matching from a professional awareness perspective. Paint finishes explore the properties of different paint types and awareness of application methods, including spray techniques and finish selection.

Decorative effects examine specialist techniques such as stencilling, gilding, textured finishes, and decorative pattern creation, emphasising design awareness and material suitability rather than practical execution.

Project management modules focus on planning painting and decorating work, understanding budgets and costings, and working professionally with clients and other trades. The assessment and final exam evaluate understanding of painting and decorating principles, safety awareness, and professional boundaries.
