HNC Painting & Decorating: Supervision

Overview

You’ll study the practice and theory of supervising painting and decorating work. You will also be given the opportunity to develop advanced practical craft skills. If you’re employed in this area you may study on a part-time basis if your employer wishes. If you already have your PDA at SCQF 6 you only need to do the mandatory 5 units to gain the HNC, however if you do not, you will progress on the course through the optional units to gain the required 12 SCQF credits.

• You’ll need the NPA in Construction (SCQF 5) with a Painting and Decorating Specialism, or other equivalent qualifications.
• It would be ideal if you have further industrial experience or training.
• You will need to attend an interview prior to being selected for the course.

More Information

Some of the subjects you’ll study include: Supervision and Management, Health and Safety Management, Paint Systems for Building Substrates and Technical Problem Solving. To complete this qualification, you’ll need to produce a project case study – this is a supervision graded unit.
