Participants study working methods, quality requirements and occupational safety. Participants practise selecting materials and tools, preparing the work area and checking quality. These foundational skills can be applied in a construction company or in independent finishing work. ### As a result of the training, learners acquire the following knowledge and skills: - can correctly determine methods for preparatory work — manual and mechanised; - can select suitable materials according to the type of work; - can choose appropriate tools depending on the materials used; - prepares and fills surfaces in accordance with technical requirements; - can assess substrate condition and choose a suitable method of preparation for painting; - can select and apply suitable primer materials considering the base surface; - can paint internal corners and junctions using appropriate techniques; - follows manufacturers’ material instructions and the correct sequence of work; - can apply roll coverings, including wallpaper and glass-fibre lining; - distinguishes paper, vinyl and paintable wallpapers, and paints coverings designed for painting; - knows the basic occupational health and safety requirements; - follows environmental standards and principles of environmentally responsible work. ## Learning approach and course topics The programme focuses on basic practical painting and finishing skills. Classroom theory is applied on real construction sites, where participants examine working situations and practise appropriate techniques. Topics include surface preparation, filling, painting, wallpapering, local and warranty repairs, and the use of decorative materials. Both manual and mechanised working methods are introduced. ## Training programme 01 ### Module 01.
