Our instructors are qualified, highly experienced, knowledgeable and enthusiastic Tradespersons, so students can take advantage of all the tips of the trade, personal experiences and advice they offer.
This short course is intensive, but the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable which creates a good learning environment. If you have a particular project in mind, or some building plans you wish to gain advice on, our instructors will be more than happy to discuss these with you.
You will get dirty so you should bring working clothes. We have changing room facilities for men and women! You will find our prices are competitive, and include the use of tools and materials for your Carpentry Course whilst you are here, but for health and safety reasons you are required to have steel toe capped footwear to wear throughout the course. These can be purchased from reception on your first morning for £20 if required.
Full instruction will be provided in the use of carpentry and joinery tools, and a wide selection of tools will be available for purchase from reception at any time during or after your course.
