training academy reviews

“Spent the day training in Birmingham with Paul. Paul’s experience and knowledge in the whole system is incredible. Everything is explained and talked through with great detail. A very enjoyable and relaxed environment to learn which makes it a great day.
To be able to get hands on with the products definitely allows you to come away with great confidence. Would definitely recommend.”
Blair Teanby
“Just attended the external render training. Paul is spot on with his instructions and description of the system , friendly and a good teacher. As a hugely experienced installer, he knows the smart and correct way to get around any detail or solve any problem. It’s given me a good overview of the process – I’m looking forward to getting some gear on a house and having them inspect it, soon.”
