How to become a painter in Netherlands

The Dutch painting trade has a formalized training path through the MBO Schilder program (level 2–3). Training covers interior and exterior painting, wallpapering, color theory, and increasingly, sustainability — including low-VOC paints, lead-safe practices, and energy-efficient coatings.

Dutch painters work under the Schilders CAO (collective labor agreement for painters), which sets minimum wages, overtime rates, vacation allowances, and pension contributions. The industry organization OnderhoudNL (formerly FOSAG) promotes quality standards and offers SVS certification for companies.
