Painter & Decorator Training Courses at The DIY School in Manchester enable men and women who have little or no previous wallpapering to complete wall and ceiling decorating projects that they will find their own homes or their customers’ homes.

This course has been newly designed for those of you who just want to learn wallpapering skills. If you always wanted to buy an expensive wallpaper for a feature wall but were worried about finding a good decorator at a reasonable price to hang it, well why not do it yourself.

You’ll receive advice on how to avoid common problems and keep your wastage down to a minimum.
