Let's take a look at some recently left feedback from our variety of carpentry courses...
Feedback:
“I thought the course content was excellent. The course covered numerous aspects of carpentry and joinery. Although the course was very detailed you need great instructors to guide you and teach you different methods to succeed and they certainly were excellent. Both Martin and Paul always went into great depth on each assessment were extremely helpful with personal carpentry matters outside of the course content. I have massively improved as a carpenter and joiner from knowing nothing / very little to feel confident and comfortable with my next task which is accomplishing all components for a new build bungalow very soon. Thanks all.” - C Howard
“I really enjoyed learning through practice and how the instructs allow for you to work independently whilst also being present to help and answer questions at any time. I feel that I’ve improved a lot, become more confident using tools, become more precise with sawing and learned loads of new techniques and new tools and so on.” - C De Lemos
“After taking on this introductory course I feel that I’ve gained the confidence I needed to put into practice. I feel I’ve learnt valuable skills, fundamental skills in carpentry. Everything was explained really well, in good detail which was great.” - G Huntley
“I found the training centre online and it’s been very good, concise. Paul was very helpful, explained everything clearly and is an absolute professional. Very good humour! I feel this has been invaluable. Most beneficial.” - E Celebi
“The course was very good considering all had to be fitted into one week, excellent delivery. I have learnt exactly what I’d hoped for which is great, thanks.” - R Hart
“Considering the course was only 10-weeks in total the course covered a lot of ground but only highlighted to me how much more there is to learn. I have progressed a lot - The main change is in confidence...Whilst my skills have improved I was coming from a low baseline, now I just need more practice. Great course.” - J Carver
“I found the course online. It was well designed to build upon knowledge and skills each day. Very clear and approachable instructors. A lot of practice needed now but I’ve gained such a good basic starting point of knowledge and skills to apply to my DIY projects at home.” - P Jones
“Found the course online and it exceeded all my expectations, everything was explained in great detail. Paul the instructor was amazing. I now have more confidence using hand tools and power tools. Thanks.” - R Lock
