Industry Training

MPA Queensland gives painters and decorators a better future and a competitive advantage through its superior quality education and trade training.

A Registered Training Organisation (RTO) since 1998, we are proud of the strong industry partnerships we’ve forged over the last 20 years. We have a track record of helping individuals and businesses grow and prosper, with courses that cover both the on-the-job skills required as a painter, and business management courses tailored for tradesmen.

Established by Painters, for Painters

A not-for-profit organisation, the Master Painters Association (MPA) of Queensland is the peak representative body for the sunshine state’s painting and decorating industry. Not only do we represent the interests of all individuals and companies operating within Queensland’s painting and decorating industry, we also encourage and recognise the highest standards of craftsmanship and ethical business practices.

MPA Queensland is committed to advancing, encouraging, and recognising best-in-class standards across every aspect of industry. We achieve this by providing painters and consumers alike with information about the industry today, and also through our annual Awards of Excellence, which recognise the most outstanding professionals throughout Queensland.
