We'll teach you to apply —
and to earn
The Pratta Academy is training in working with decorative plasters, microcement and paints, masterclasses and certification. For applicators and crews, for designers who want to control quality, and for clients who want to apply it themselves.

What we teach
From substrate preparation to the finishing protection — the whole Pratta application system in practice.
Substrates and primers
How to prepare concrete, plasterboard, lime or old paint and choose the right primer — the foundation of a predictable result.
Base and decorative layers
Mixing, application, building texture and depth. How to confidently hit the right colour and effect.
Effects and techniques
Venetian, Manu suede, loft concrete, metal, travertine, silk — techniques for every effect in the range.
Finishes and protection
Waxes, siloxanes, varnishes — water repellence, washability and UV protection. So the surface lives for years.
Sales and working with clients
How to sell decorative finishes, price an estimate and present samples — for dealers and crews.
Decorative coatings —
a premium niche
Decorative finishing is one of the highest-margin areas of renovation. By mastering the Pratta system, an applicator takes on jobs that ordinary painters can't handle and works on premium projects.
- High labour value per square metre
- Access to a flow of orders through Pratta
