Painting & Decorating Diploma (Level 2)
Code: OCDI2F030
Level: 2, Type: Full Time
Aim of course
This Level 2 Diploma is for those candidates wishing to progress into employment or applicants with a decorative occupations bias who wish to achieve a qualification. This course is also offered with attendance of three days/week over 2 years for those applicants aged 16 - 19 with no experience of painting & decorating (Course code OCDI2F021).
What will the course involve?
Assessment of both theory and practical activity is continuous, culminating in an online exam to test knowledge and practical synoptic test. Candidates aged 16-19 yrs will also study a Level 2 NCFE qualification which researches project management and also one Functional Skill. The Functional Skill will be studied as an integral part of both the Diploma and NCFE qualifications.
Course Content
The course contains the following areas of study:- Carry out safe working practices in construction
- Erect and dismantle access equipment and working platforms
- Have knowledge of information, quantities and communicating with others
- Have knowledge of building methods and construction technology
- Prepare surfaces for decoration
- Apply paint systems by brush and roller
- Apply standard wallpaper to walls and ceilings
- Produce specialist decorative finishes
- Apply water-borne paint systems using high volume low pressure (HVLP) spray equipment
As 16-19 yr old learners study two qualifications, attendance at college is for three days a week, mature students need only attend for two days (these days will be decided by the Course Tutor to ensure that all areas of the Diploma are covered).
What can I do afterwards?
On completion of this course you would be considered for a part-time Level 3 Diploma or NVQ 2 in Decorative Occupations. As the NVQ is only assessed in the workplace, you would need to find employment with a company whose work covered all the required units of the NVQ. What do I need?
Numeracy and literacy skills at Level 1 would be an advantage. Applicants aged 19+ may study the part-time option (1 day/week over 2 years).You will be asked to carry out a skills assessment to determine the support you require to be successful on this course.
