PaintTech Training Academy

PaintTech Training Academy delivers hands-on & online spray training. We’re a CITB Approved Training Org with our own City & Guilds Assured courses.
Courses don’t always need to be boring! And thanks to the likes of this group we had a wicked weekend.
One of the things that’s most important to us is giving you the opportunity to play around with so many different products, substrates and designs. On a course like RetroCoat, having the freedom to get creative in a safe environment is the ideal way to learn and build confidence.

📅 Upcoming PaintTech Training Courses – June, July & August
If you're looking to improve your spraying skills, add a new service to your business, increase your rates, or simply learn from people who do it for a living, we've got a range of courses coming up across both our Edenbridge and Preston academies.
From Intensive Airless Spraying and Kitchen Spraying through to UPVC, HVLP and RetroCoat Worktop Refurbishment, there are plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and create new revenue streams for your business.
⚠️ Important Notice – Preston Academy
Many of you will already know that Pete Wilkinson (Mr Fast & Flawless) is retiring from the academy at the end of July.
That means the June and July dates listed for Preston will be the final courses delivered from the Preston Academy before it closes its doors.
If you've been thinking about training with Pete, learning at Preston, or ticking a course off your list, now is the time.
Whether you're completely new to spraying or looking to add another specialist service to your business, we'd love to welcome you onto a course.
✅ City & Guilds Assured Training
✅ Small Class Sizes
✅ Hands-On Practical Learning
✅ Ongoing Support After The Course
✅ CITB Funding Available (subject to eligibility)
Take a look through the dates and if you have any questions about which course is right for you, drop us a message.

Which course has been on your list to do this year?
A chapter is coming to an end.
At the end of June, Pete Wilkinson – known to many as Mr Fast & Flawless – will be retiring and taking a step back to a lower pace.
After more than 45 years in the trade, thousands of students trained, over 15 books written, countless demonstrations, shows, courses, phone calls and conversations, Pete has left a mark on the decorating industry that few can match.
The thing many people don't see is what happens after the course.
The extra phone calls.
The advice.
The support.
The willingness to help whenever someone was struggling.
That's always been Pete.
For many decorators, Pete has been part of their journey in one way or another.
Maybe he taught you on a course.
Maybe you've read one of his books.
Maybe you've met him at a show.
Maybe he's given you advice that's helped shape your business.
We'd love to hear your stories.
👇 What's the biggest lesson Pete ever taught you?
👇 Do you have a favourite memory from a course?
👇 Got any old photos with Pete? Share them in the comments.
Over the next few weeks we'll be celebrating Pete's incredible contribution to the trade and sharing some of your memories along the way.
Thank you, Pete.
From all of us at PaintTech.
We’re at the Painting & Decorating Show this year.
