What people say

					... Read MoreI recently completed the Pricing Course with Ian and Lyndsey. A pricing course dedicated to the decorating trade.  I thought I was good at my pricing of jobs but this course opened my eyes to a few things I had missed before. Also shown how to easily price jobs from site plans, which prior to the course I would shy away from. I've now completed most of the courses that Painttech offer, every one is worth its weight in gold, and looking forward to my next course. read less
