Who is the Train the Painter Bronze course designed for?

The Train the Painter Bronze course is ideal for anyone looking to enter the industrial painting and protective coatings industry. It’s perfect for new entrants, apprentices, general maintenance workers, and rope access technicians wanting to expand their skill set. Employers across sectors such as marine, rail, petrochemical, highways, and energy value Bronze-level certification as proof of baseline competence. At Dangle Academy, Northern Ireland’s only licensed Train the Painter provider, we structure training to meet both local and global industry requirements.

How long does the Train the Painter Bronze course last, and what’s involved?

Our Bronze-level training is delivered over five intensive days at Dangle Academy’s purpose-built facility in Belfast.

The course concludes with both a written assessment and a practical skills evaluation, ensuring you’re competent to industry-recognised standards.

Do I need prior experience to attend this Train the Painter Bronze course?

No prior experience is required — the Bronze module is specifically designed as a beginner-friendly, entry-level qualification. Whether you’re fresh out of school, retraining for a new career, or already working in a related field and want to formalise your skills, the Bronze course is the ideal starting point. Our trainers at Dangle Academy guide you through each step, ensuring you build both confidence and competence in a professional training environment. If you do not have significant experience (e.g., 1,600+ hours on‑site or more), you will receive a Train the Painter "Orange" Trainee card to show you're new to the coatings industry.

How long is the certification valid, and how do I renew it?

The Train the Painter Bronze certificate is valid for five years from the date of issue. Renewal is straightforward — simply attend a recognised refresher or renewal course before your certification expires. As Northern Ireland’s only licensed Train the Painter provider, Dangle Academy offers ongoing refresher training to help you keep your certification up to date and maintain your employability in the coatings industry.

Can this certification lead to further career progression?

Yes — the Bronze module is the first step in the full Train the Painter pathway. Once completed, you can progress to Silver (which adds spray painting or abrasive blast cleaning skills) and then Gold for the highest industry recognition. With each level, you gain more advanced skills and a wider range of employment opportunities across sectors like shipbuilding, offshore oil & gas, renewable energy, and infrastructure. Dangle Academy’s expert coating instructors can guide you through the entire programme from entry level to industry leadership.
