Will be back soon!
The team at the Academy are all brilliant. They’re welcoming, knowledgeable and always make our day worthwhile! It’s over a two hour drive for us, but that hasn’t stopped me coming back to complete almost all of the courses here since they opened about 8 years ago (I think). Always enjoy it and always look forward to going again.

I attended the Slough Introduction to wallpapering course last week and I found it to be very informative, fun and the group was lovely and the teacher was very nice and explained things thoroughly!

Spray introduction
Great venue, well set up and knowledgeable tutor. Excellent range of equipment types but all from one manufacturer. Focussed very much on spraying paints for decorating rather than more general spraying that might include clear finishes and other applications.
Very good value for money and good refreshments.

Great selection of courses no matter what stage of your career.
I've just completed my fourth course at the academy, all of which have been really well put together, informative and in a great, professional setting. Matt is a brilliant teacher, makes plenty of room for questions and tips throughout the day, and creates a very welcoming atmosphere from the start.
Small groups and plenty of resources make these very worthwhile courses, I've been refreshing and honing my existing skills.
I'd recommend these courses to anyone whether a beginner or already well into their career, there's always something new to learn and Matt teaches the people at the very top of the game.
I met some lovely people from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines on the courses which was so interesting to hear about too.
The catering and snacks are top notch and everyone I met was very friendly.

I've now attended 3 spray courses at the Dulux academy in Slough. I absolutely enjoyed every one of them. Excellent value for money and James doesn't miss any details and was born to teach (and spray). Excellent after care as well. James goes above and beyond and the aftercare alone is worth the money. I highly highly recommend this place if you're looking to get into spraying. Or even have some spraying experience but want to finesse your work. I am now looking for my 4th course.... I'll be back in the near future no doubt.
Oh and nearly forgot to add as well.... you get fed well! Breakfast upon arrival. Lunch, and bottomless tea, coffees, cold drinks.... you will be spoilt. Win win win
