Would highly recommend this course.

The course was very interesting, gives you a good understanding of the diffrent materials and finishes. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in Italian plastering even with little plastering knowledge, the application and finishes are well demonstrated.

Absolutely amazing company

Absolutely amazing company! Very competent staff starting from Maria and Sebastian in the office, they are great salespeople always there when I needed their advice. Recently I attended metallic paint course ( this was my second one with Imperial Italia) and again the course was worth every penny I spent. I doubt if you could find more skilled teacher than Robert in this industry!!! Not only that he shares his immense knowledge with passion but also he is extremely patient as he had to answer millions of my ( sometimes 😉 silly) questions. Robert thank you sooooo much!!!
❤️ I have to add that I felt really looked after during this course, they even invited us to near Italian restaurant for a yummy lunch. I cannot praise these people more, they are highly recommended! Imperia Italia thank you very much!

Venetian plastering course

I booked a beginners venetian plastering course at impera Italia after seeing some previous reviews on plastering forums. I’m so happy I decided to take the leap. Robert is the master applicator who covered my course. From start to finish he’s always been over my shoulder to give me amazing guidance and information whatever the question. The guys in the office (Sebastian and Maria) were also great and we’re always at the other end of the phone if I needed advice. For all the team at impera italia, thankyou! And I look forward to working with you in the future.

Robert has a great wealth of knowledge in all aspects of venecian plastering which he’s openly willing to share with the group.
There is a lot to take in and it seems daunting on the first day, however Robert is very good at getting the key points across.
I am now on my last day of the course and I feel quite confident in taking small jobs on when I get home all thanks to Robert.

I recently have done the (3 day) Venetian plaster course at impera Italia, the course was very helpful in understanding the materials and techniques that are involved in Venetian plaster. The teacher Robert is very skilled and very knowledgeable and is a great teacher in showing and explaining the steps in which to achieve different finishes, he is also a very friendly person. All staff were very helpful explaining to us how to order different materials and tools also when finished the course you get a goodie bag full of different materials/tools to help you practice at home. Would highly recommend this course

Micro-cement one day course

This was my 2nd course with Impera Italia, and again I was not disappointed.
Although the micro-cement course was brief, it was very well taught and covered all the technicalities of using their products.
Our trainer was very knowledgable and was happy to answer questions and demonstrate techniques, including information on how to form angles.
It definitely helped having trowel skills already, and I came away with the confidence to use what I’d learnt on some home projects.
These projects went well and I’ll be adding micro-cement to my plastering services.
The staff in the showroom were also extremely helpful when it came to purchasing products at the end of the day and I look forward to using Impera Italia in the future.

Excellent service and advice

Excellent service and advice. Great products also. I even attended the microcement course which really was very good. I was unsure if I was ordering the correct product online, so Sebastian phoned me to make sure I was getting the right product I required. He was extremely helpful and obviously has an in depth knowledge of the products they sell.
The microcement course was taught by Dmitry. He made it so enjoyable and taught us some great skills we will definitely be using in the future.
Would definitely recommend, they sell some amazing products you just won't see anywhere else. The advice offered with the products is also top class.

They were very helpful and always got back quickly on email/phone and did all they could to get our order to us fast. The only thing that could be improved was help with picking the colours as I just had to guess in the end from the swatches online which looked quite different in real life.
