“I chose this course to learn the basics of painting and decorating and expand my career options for the future. I like that the course is practical, with workshops and a good range of equipment available. I’d already studied at York College previously so I was happy to return and complete another course. My tutors are very professional, friendly and easy to get on with. I feel like I can talk to them about anything."
