Purpose
The common programme subject Surface treatment work shall contribute to developing competence in protection, colouration, cleaning, care and maintenance to surfaces in buildings, installations and transportation. Surface treatment work sees to the management of great economic and social values. Materials and working processes and methods are in continual development, and there are constantly coming new and more environmentally friendly products. In this manner, the programme subjects can contribute to creating good working and living conditions, care for environment, health and safety regulations (EHS), and promotes enjoyment and sustainable development.
Surface treatment work shall contribute to the development of professional knowledge, skills and actions that allow individuals to be active in community life and work. Furthermore, learning in the subjects shall develop the ability to master challenging work tasks and handle new materials, technical tools and environmental products. Learning in the subjects shall also develop flexibility, creativity and critical thought towards laying the foundation for further development of own professional expertise.
Learning in the subjects shall emphasize interdisciplinary cooperation and practical work. Use of different learning arenas and cooperation with local businesses can promote the development of working processes.
Structure
The programme area Surface treatment work consists of two programme subjects. The programme subjects complement each other and should be viewed in relation to one another.

Description of the programme subjects
Production
The programme subject deals with different kinds of surface treatments for buildings, installations and transportation. The subject includes painting work, colouration, wallpapering, laying floors, corrosion protection, cleaning and maintenance of treated and untreated interior and exterior surfaces. The choice and use of materials and tools is also a part of the subject. The programme subject includes current rules and regulations for doing such work. Environment, health and safety (EHS) and quality control (QA) are also central themes in this subject.
