“I have now attended two ‘Saturday Skills’ Courses this year and wanted to convey how much I have enjoyed these courses.
I attended the ‘Brick & Blockwork’ course where I found the demonstrations excellent and the atmosphere friendly. The help and support was both informative and encouraging.
This autumn I have attended the ‘Developing Pipework (Plumbing)’ course. This was a very enjoyable experience. Each student was able to tailor the course to their own requirements. The comprehensive discussions and demonstrations were excellent and as each student carried out their own exercises and small projects, Claude provided great support and feedback.
I’m looking forward to attending the ‘Bench Joinery’ Course next!”
