Easy to find, easy to park and possibly the most interesting and informative course I’ve ever been on! This should surely be part of the national curriculum.

Great day with great teacher. As a novice by the end of the day I understand a lot more about basic diy and feel I can have a go at some jobs without getting someone in

David was extremly personable and made DIY easy to digest for those with no experience. Great class for anyone keen to learn more about DIY in the home (especially if you're a homeowner and trying to save money without cutting corners). Having 6 people to a class meant close attention was paid and we all had time to ask questions.
