Abode Academy Reviews 163

What can I say about Abode? Just that they’re an absolute dream team—friendly, fun, and ridiculously helpful! I popped in for their one-day HVLP spraying course, and honestly, it was a total blast from start to finish. I learned loads, got hands-on with the kit, and by the end of the day… yep, I was sold! Walked out with a shiny new sprayer (plus a few optional extras 😄).

Massive shoutout to James, our trainer—what a legend! Super chill, seriously knowledgeable, and made the whole day feel like a breeze. He was right there with us every step of the way, no stress, just great energy and top tips.

And I’ve already booked myself onto their UPVC course in August—can’t wait to go back!

Thinking about getting into spraying? Don’t think—just GO ABODE! FOR THE WIN!

Thanks again Thomas Goodchild Decorating Services

Really good course, James and Jamie are really knowledgeable on the paints, the process, and the business. Would recommend without issue.

5 star from me. Great training. Great bunch of guys.

Had an amazing time on the 2 day airless and HVLP spraying course. Jamie and the whole team couldn’t do enough to assist with any questions or queries that arose.
Jamie is really passionate about giving you a good grounding in all aspects the course.
As an absolute beginner I wasn’t expecting to walk away as a full fledged & competent Spray painter but what the corse does is make you aware of the many mistakes that could of been made if I had just watched YouTube tutorials as I had before attending.
If like me you have no previous experience I would highly recommend attending the course as it gives you a really solid start to then go on and build up your experience
Thank you Jamie and the whole team

Jamie and the team were amazing at demonstrating the whole course. Not only were they accommodating but the whole course was thorough and precise. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get into any of their courses

Attend abode demo day on the new granite product that I'm going be using on worktops for my customers and it was a great day after Attend few different course over the years it was great to have a catch up and meet different businesses in the same trade.if your looking to do any spray course abode is the one for you thanks again jamie anna and team

I had an absolute brilliant time training at Abode Academy with Jamie and the gang. They are all very friendly easy to get on with and they know what they are doing and talking about. Highly recommended and I will be booking in for their other courses. Thanks Abode 😎

I went to the airless spraying course after purchasing the a6 airless sprayer. The course was very thorough. I learnt so much and got to spray a room. They provided us with lunch which was 10/10 especially the brownie. I’m definitely going back to book another course. I would highly recommend you go and check these guys out.

Forget the rest; Jamie (The Gaffa), his better half Anna and all of the pivotal members of the Abode Training Academy that ensure it remains a well oiled machine, are exactly why I've been a repeat customer several times over to further bolster my skill set. You'll not be disappointed with the plethora of knowledge, true transparency and thorough approach to their craft and field. I've been very impressed by them all. James, the tutor I've been privileged to have been taught by, is a great guy and very easy to get along with and learn from. I'm grateful for the experiences and they've certainly not seen the last of me. Thanks again to Abode. Leaders in the field 100%.

This is my 3rd course I have done with abode academy and I cannot fault it. From the minute you arrive you are made to feel welcome. The courses are very good with lots of practice and information regarding the products, machines. Can’t rate the whole team enough. Thanks team abode

Enjoyed the course, j was very knowledgeable about all aspects of spraying, but not great with blood 😅 cheers

Just completed the kitchen spraying course and will be booking on to the granite spraying course as a result. The course was absolutely brilliant both from the skill side of things and Jamie’s invaluable advice on everything to do with spraying . He’s such a down to earth guy which made for a relaxed and enjoyable. Thanks Jamie and Anna.

2nd course with Abode, this time Special Effects & Metal spraying, absolute brilliant few days, got me thinking what I can do to add value and do things differently for my business. As usual The team were great, a huge thanks to James, Jamie and Anna.

Really great Training. Very hands on and professional tips from Jamie and James.
Ive completed both kitchen and furniture + HVLP and Airless 2 day courses.
The thing that i find really beneficial is that Jamie has the work experience and knowledge to advise of beth methods, best use of spray machinery, best techniques also.
I Used the CiTb funding for Decorating Companies which the Admin team helped with also. Il hopefully get to purchase the A6 soon also.

I trained with abode for the first time midway through 2024 on their uPVC spraying course, this gave me everything I needed to get started and pretty soon I started getting the jobs in!
As in depth as their courses are, and they certainly cover everything I needed to get started spraying.. there is always something that crops up that takes you by surprise. I’ve had two cases, one where I couldn’t get my machine spraying and the other where my paint was spraying out in splutters.. in both of these situations I’ve been able to get in touch with abode straight away and they talked me through the problem and how to fix. I’ve never experienced customer service like this and in both cases, it allowed me to finish my job and leave with happy customers! Really invaluable stuff.
I’ve since got a few kitchen jobs booked in and have trained on the kitchen course and that was just as good.
To anyone wanting to get into spraying, these are the guys to start off with!

Their new sprayers are top of my Christmas list and as soon as I have a need to invest in one I will be doing just that.

Had agreat day at the academy , all the staff were friendly and helpful, the course itself has given me the confidence to go out and do the job properly .

I did the pvc course in November which was amazing and booked the kitchen and granite course as soon as I got home. Iv just had a amazing 3 days with Jamie & James and the knowledge and training they provide you with are quite simply outstanding, what they don't no about spraying is not worth knowing, the training is very relaxed and is all hands on, none stop spraying no classrooms which I liked, from the initial booking of the courses the custermer service you recieve from Anna and Emily are amazing asking you what you would like for lunch etc , I travelled by train and was picked up each morning and dropped back off at night , for anyone wanting to learn to spray ABODE is the only place to do it , you will also not recieve the after-care they offer you anywhere else nothing is to much trouble for them big thank you to team
