As part of the globally recognised  Train the Painter  coating applicator training programme, the Thick Film Intumescent Coating Applicator course is independently accredited and has been developed to meet industry demands.

The programme has been developed with input from industry experts and associated bodies to create the first and only accredited Thick Film Intumescent training in the UK. All aspects of surface preparation and application of the products will be taught using both practical and theoretical methods.

Intumescent Coatings are applied to steel buildings either on or off-site to prevent structural failure in the event of fire. It is therefore essential that these coatings are applied by trained and qualified coating applicators. Thorough and correct training in Thick Film Intumescent coating saves time, money, and ultimately lives.
