Highly recommend Adobe Academy

Highly recommend Adobe Academy, Jamie teaches you everything you need to know to get the work done quick and professionally, and you get straight onto taking the kitchen apart to spraying in no time.

Kitchen spray couse

We've just finished our second course now at abode academy, we have found them absolutely vital if you want to get into all aspects of spraying. Jamie's knowledge on equipment, materials and techniques is second to none we would not have got as far as we have without doing these courses. We are now building are own spray booth and earning more money now then ever and expanding our business every month. We've gone from just a two man company to 4 full time staff in less than 6 months. We also get great deals and advice on all products and equipment Anna does a fantastic job at the shop and all the admin a pleasure to deal with highly recommend

The airless spraying course single…

The airless spraying course single handedly changed my career path, I cannot recommend it enough. 2 days after completing the course, I purchased a sprayer through Anna and Jamie which saved me a small fortune. Any issues that have arisen day or night since, Jamie has been on hand, even if it’s 9pm at night via video call. Don’t hesitate to book one of the courses. You won’t regret it!

Want to spray, then one to one training is the best you will get.

I did the beginners airless spraying course with Jamie yesterday and I would highly recommend it. The one to one training is excellent, you get to spend the day masking and spraying a room under Jamie's supervision, teaching you everything you need to know and he will pass on his extensive knowledge of spraying, paints to use, tips and tricks.
Jamie and Anna are very welcoming and easy to get on with and make sure you have a great training day.
If you need to learn how to spray then Abode Academy is the only place you need to go.

Me and son Brian! wanted to push our business to the next level.
So we done our homework and found a company called Abode Academy
From the first point I contacted them and spoke with Anna I knew it was the right training courses we needed.
The 3 day course we did was brilliant, we have both learnt so much.
Jamie is very knowledgeable and experienced.
Lunch was provided everyday and a heater too!
We both left the course feeling confident that we can push our business to the next level
Thanks again

Highly recommended

Jamie could not be any more helpful. His knowledge is eagerly shared without an ego. The course is in-depth and well structured without feeling restrictive. Jamie is happy to answer any questions and go over details many times when asked.

I’ll be back for another course in the new year.

Jamie and Anna are truly the best

Jamie and Anna are truly the best in the business. I did lots of research, and yes there are cheaper courses, but nothing 1-2-1 which is so important when learning a new practical skill. I was nervous as I’m quite beginner when it comes to spraying and only want to do furniture, but the course was totally tailored and I left feeling confident, able and supported! Couldn’t recommend enough!!

The best 2 days training

Jamie and Anna, made my recent Abode Academy course a perfect experience. I learn’t so much from both of them on spraying but also social media advertising. The 1:1 hands on format with Jamie was just what I needed to improve my skills. I would recommend Abode Academy to anyone looking to improve their skills and broaden their business horizons. Thanks very much Jamie and Anna.

Brilliant course!

Brilliant course! Jamie is very knowledgeable and really helpful in explaining everything I needed to know about spraying kitchens and furniture. Every question I had was answered and I came away feeling confident about spraying. Not only that, the business tips and help I got from the course were invaluable, and I’m really looking forward to growing my business with these new skills. Thank you!

I had a fantastic two days of 1-1 training with Jaime completing both the beginners airless spraying course and the fitted kitchen one. I learnt lots about what machines to use in certain situations and how to set them up and carried out plenty of spraying in the process. As a result it has given me the confidence to get my own set up and out there and give it a go . Thank you very much to both Jaime and Anna. Look forward to going on another course in the future.
