Painting and Decorating

A painting and decorating course in Australia is a vocational education and training (VET) program designed to provide individuals with the skills and knowledge required for a career in the painting and decorating industry. These courses cover a range of topics related to surface preparation, paint application, colour theory, wallpapering, and the use of various painting tools and equipment. Students learn about different types of paints, finishes, and techniques used in residential and commercial painting projects. Emphasis is placed on safety practices, industry regulations, and sustainable painting methods. Practical, hands-on training is often a significant component, allowing students to apply their skills in real-world scenarios. Completion of a painting and decorating course can lead to qualifications such as a Certificate III or IV in Painting and Decorating, preparing individuals for employment as professional painters or decorators in the construction and maintenance sectors.
