Training takes place at two different places alternately:
- one week of practical training at an inter-company workshop of the 'Bildungswerk der Wirtschaft in Berlin und Brandenburg e.V.',
,
and at real work sites under instruction and supervision of a qualified housepainter, a 'Meister'
- one week of theoretical and practical instruction at school involving clients' orders and supported by highly qualified housepainter-'Meister's.
