Hi AndyB,
I have been a decorator for years and wanted to broaden my skill base, did a course first and think that was the best move I made, no chance of bad habbits forming and if your going to muck up your first efforts best it be in a training environment and not somebodys home. I then used to practise when I could on small jobs for mates and had a big board in my garage and got some training adhesive of the school I went too and used to try borders and patterns out.
What ever you decided to do good luck
