Faux Design Series

These classes have been accredited by the PDPA (Professional Decorative Painters Association) See the credentials here

Faux Design I ($625), Faux Design II ($675) and Faux Essentials ($325):

Total price for all 3 classes is $1,630.00. A great price for a set of comprehensive classes designed to get you started in the business. These classes have been improved over the past 12 years to include many of the skills/knowledge sets you need to get working. We also offer other classes once you get going to keep you current with changing fashions like metallic textures and venetian plasters.

The Faux Design Series classes are set up so you can take as little as two days and as much as five days in a row of classes is the art and business of decorative painting.

Contractors can send their people here for training without concern that pricing and estimating will be discussed because that is only covered in a separate Business Class .
