What can I say about the kitchen & furniture plus the Upvc courses I took with Jamie over a weekend to complete! Was the best decision I’ve ever made to date hands down. I’ve learned so much from Jamie about spraying.taping up. Paints. colours. Preparation. and so much more. if anyone is looking for a great teacher You will not be disappointed. Thanks Jamie and Anna

I did the beginners spray course with…

I did the beginners spray course with Jamie last year and it was a top day from start to finish. However, there is a lot of information to take in on the day and unless you are spraying consistently week in week out, some things/techniques can be forgotten. Jamie is always on the end of phone to help with any issues you may have but I recently purchased the online spray course from him. I have now began spraying more frequently. His online course has got me out of a few tricky situations on site recently when my brain needed a slight jog on a few things. The best part is that all the sections are broken down individually into bite size videos, for example if you are having trouble spraying some doors (like a did) you can jump straight to that section, trouble with the machine? there is a section for that and so on and so forth. All in all my experience with Jamie and The Abode Academy both in person and online is nothing but positive and I cannot recommend enough.

Best investment I have made so far in 2022.

Best investment I have made so far in 2022.
Not just Jamie is a very cool guy and easy to work with, his knowledge in spray painting is impressive and he doesn't hold back on giving you as much information as he possibly can in the 8 hours that we spent together.
I will definitely come back for other courses soon.

Airless beginners walls and woodwork course

Really enjoyed and learned so much from the airless walls and woodwork beginners course with Jamie. Learned so much and was able to use my own sprayer to help with confidence and getting to know the machine itself and the fact it was one on one was perfect.
Would highly recommend Jamie and the abode team, so glad I went ahead with the course. Thanks guys

Well worth doing!

Great set up Jamie + Anna have. Made me and my colleague feel at home. We emailed 3 days before due to a job letting us down to see if they had availability - which they quickly replied and got us booked in.
We learnt enough to start us off and any questions we needed answering Jamie was quick and detailed with the answers.
Once we’re up and running spraying kitchens we’re going to go back and do the upvc course. Thoroughly enjoyed the the course.
Thanks again Jamie + Anna, much appreciated!

Great Beginners Course

I attended the beginners spray painting course in Wiltshire with my friend. The instructor was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and patient. I was taken through the entire process of spraying a room, beginning with correct masking up techniques, followed by setting up the sprayer. I was then shown how to spray an entire room, walls, ceiling, and woodwork, which I then did, all under the beady eye of the instructor, who offered tips and encouragement along the way. I also learned how to properly clean the equipment in between paints, and at the end of the day.
I also appreciated the good communication before and after the course.
I was amazed with how much I learned, and this has encouraged me to use these skills in my decorating business going forward. I would definitely recommend this course.
