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. Thanks, Jamie, for all your support and ongoing support

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!

Jamie and Anna run a great training centre. Both were very accommodating. Jamie was patient and concise in his communicating. The spraying itself was highly enjoyable and I am definitely encouraged to keep practicing and to harness that new found skill.

Just completed the 3 day course. I have to say that this course was well worth doing. I learned so much from the correct products to use to the right technique on how to achieve a professional finish. I found Jamie to be an excellent teacher, he did not overcomplicate anything and was always willing to make sure I understood everything that was being taught. The academy is a very professional setup n both the teaching and the training equipment used. Anyone thinking of doing a course, I would say do not hesitate , you will certainly not be disappointed. I would also like to say thank you to Anna for the amazing hospitality.
