Training & Skills

Do you have what it takes?

  • Are you a painting and decorating student or apprentice?
  • Do you want to be a part of Team UK, competing for your country?
  • Do you strive to challenge yourself in the longest running and prestigious P&D competition?

The UK’s leading painting and decorating skills competition is entering its 39th year. This prestigious competition is the best known and longest running showcase of talent for up and coming painters and decorators, with over 200 competitors participating each year.

Tutors and employers all across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland encourage their best students and apprentices to participate in regional competitions. Using a range of Crown Paint products, students will be put through their paces as they tackle tests of skill, dexterity and accuracy all within a tight timescale.

Every year the grand finale is held at WorldSkills UK LIVE at the NEC in Birmingham. The WorldSkills UK LIVE is a unique annual celebration with over 82,000 visitors that offers exciting opportunities in further education, skills and apprenticeships.

Finalists at WorldSkills UK LIVE, not only have the opportunity to win this unique competition, but also have the opportunity to be handpicked to represent the UK at upcoming WorldSkills competitions – held in countries such as Brazil, Abu Dhabi and Russia, to be titled the best painter and decorator in the world!

The opportunities that this competition can offer the next generation of painters and decorators is monumental.

“I am the only one of my friends who chose a practical skills course. I went along to my local college and had always liked creative subjects and just really liked the sound of the Painting and Decorating course.

It was brilliant to win and I am really hoping to go on to the Euro and WorldSkills competitions now. I’m not sure how I’ll spend the money, but I’m thinking about investing in some really nice brushes and tools.”

Thomas Pawlowski, 2017 Gold
