Top class course.

Did the spary course for beginners. I can not recommend it enough! Jamie and Anna were absolutely brilliant at making me feel welcome throughout the day. Jamie's knowledge and teaching is first class. I now feel confident at spraying and cant wait to go back to learn more. Highly recommend to everyone looking to get into spraying.

Great experience at the abode training academy

I completed my beginners course with Jaime from abode training academy two years ago now. The experience on the day was brilliant. After spending the full day on the gun I came away with the confidence to complete my own spray work in customers homes. Jaime is very knowledgeable and couldn’t help enough.
I’ve had great after care from organising machine repair to technical advice.
I would recommend the abode training academy to anyone wanting to incorporate spraying into their business.

Had a great day at the Abode academy on…

Had a great day at the Abode academy on the upvc spraying coarse. It was all hands on from the off, straight into the practical challenges and techniques Jamie teaches you, which in my opinion is the best way to learn. He is very knowledgable and experienced and shares all the tips, tricks and methods you need to spray upvc. The one on one teaching is great as you’re never left wondering wether your doing anything correctly as if your not, Jamie’s there to help you correct your technique or explain how to do it.
That’s without even mentioning that Jamie and Anna make you feel very welcome and supply you with food and plenty of cuppa’s to keep you going.
I’ve not had to contact Abode for any “after information” as yet but I do believe if or when I do they’ll offer further support down the line.
Brilliant!

Abode Academy review

Abode Academy review.

If you are a decorator and are looking to make your business grow by incorporating spraying within it then you should really get onto one of Jamie’s course.

From masking right the way through to cleaning your machine Abode teach it all to you on the day. Not to mention the tips and tricks that you get taught. You also have loads of time on the gun too.

The support you get AFTER the course is also invaluable. Both Jamie and Anna are on hand to help with machines and the supply of paint too.

I would highly recommend these courses as I now have my own workshop which is pushing my business forward.

Cmpleted a upvc spraying course with Jamie a few weeks ago and so glad I chose to go with the abode academy. The amount of advice, tips and skills I learned in one day was just what I needed to start spraying on my own. Great course and really nice fella with loads of experience to draw from. Would strongly recommend.

Abode Training, look no further.....

I am currently on my way home from completing the UPVC & Kitchen course and I just want to be back in the workshop with Jamie. I have been on paint tech's course and abodes, if you are trying to decide between the two companies look no further, choose Abode, TRUST ME! If you are like me and starting off in this industry, the one on one training is what you need and no other company offers this. Jamie is patient, so knowledgeable and teaches you so many tips and tricks to save you DAYS of man hours on jobs. The after care from Jamie and Anna is something I have never experienced, I received no aftercare after doing courses with other businesses and Abode genuinely want to see you succeed and help every step of the way. Jamie thrives off helping others and I felt lost until meeting him so thank you to him and Anna. What you guys are doing is amazing. I could waffle on for ages but the bottom line is choose Abode for whatever you are wanting to learn and I promise you that you will not regret it.

Great day at the abode academy

Great day at the abode academy, brilliant guy and teacher, after the course if you need advise on anything, he will always pick up the phone and be there to help, and also a great lunch supplied on the day.

So good I'm back for more

I had my training with Jamie quite a while ago now, but was such a great day, I learned so much, and in great detail, Jamie is high on product and material knowledge and shares it all with you in abundance, So much so that at the end of this month I'm back for kitchen and upvc spraying!!
Cheers Jamie, see you soon

Fantastic experience at the Abode…

Fantastic experience at the Abode training Academy. Jamie made me feel at ease from the moment I turned up .
His knowledge of spraying and preparation is brilliant 👏. And explained the method in a way which was easy to take on aboard as I was new to spraying.
I used the T4 tritech sprayer on the day. Which was so good I ended up buying the same 1 off Jamie.

Brilliant course

Brilliant course, Jamie clearly has so much passion for spraying and for teaching others. I’d 100% recommend doing a course with him, you’ll pick up so much that you can bring to your business. Both he and Anna offer an excellent level of after care!

I really enjoyed my course with Jamie

I really enjoyed my course with Jamie. He was very welcoming and took me through all I needed to know. He has helped me with some questions since. All in all, worth the money spent. Made 30 times the course cost back easily in 1 year.

Just get involved!
