Training Courses & Application

We offer unique courses in the application of all the products we work with including Marmorino, Polished Plaster, Tadelakt, Leather, metallic, Crackle and Venetian plaster. We are currently running training courses in the application of these specialist products. Normal training courses run for two days and the instructors for the courses are specialists with years of experience in application and manufacturing. These are the only courses of their kind in the U.K. and Ireland to teach the application of these specialist finishes to this level. As the course programme depends on the availability of the specialists and demand for places is high, early booking is essential.

Please note Walleffects reserve the right to change course dates and locations. Deposits are payable on all courses.
