“The most interesting/useful was everything, I enjoyed learning new skills and doing the cabinet which was the best part of the course. I would recommend the course to others because the course is straight forward, it’s a challenge and helps individuals to learn and grow massively and this college is a great place for foundational growth.”

“The most interesting/useful was understanding the differences between fitting a door to an existing casing and installing a casing before the door and the complexities of such. Very well instructed with minimal theory and more practical work. Very friendly environment with very knowledgeable & experienced instructors. Tuition is progressive and aimed at all levels. Very enjoyable.”
March 2025
“Good investment of time and money. Staff friendly and helpful. Thank you to all college staff who directly or indirectly involved have helped in these courses which I have done in the past 6 weeks.”
March 2025
“Good resources, instructors are very knowledgeable and happy to go over things several times if you are not sure. It is great for beginners, good learning environment. Most interesting / useful part for me was learning to cut all the joints to fit the encasement, flooring and stud walls.”
March 2025
“The most interesting/useful was laying laminate, skirting – scribing and door hanging (whole process). The tutor was excellent, very patient, calm and devoted time individually when needed.”
March 2025
“Very informative, Carl taught us everything we needed to know about hanging doors and every aspect of carpentry. Most interesting was learning how to hang a door, splicing hinge recesses and fitting skirting boards.”
March 2025
“I would recommend this course to others. Plenty of support, loads of materials, tools and space to work. Well organised and exactly the hands-on experience I was looking for. Everything you need is provided, value for money and you are given adequate time to learn. 95% hands on, very little classroom time which is great. The best investment in myself I have ever made, this has given me the confidence to leave my current job and do something I enjoy.”
February 2025
“I was very impressed with just how much was covered in such as small amount of time. The most useful was definitely door hanging. It was explained really well and fitting into an existing frame out of level was a great idea as realistically they never are level. The skills learnt allow the students to go away and earn real money in the real world. The college is friendly, everyone is welcoming. If you are struggling the tutor is always there to help.”
February 2025
“The most interesting/useful parts of the course for me was been able to do what I need to do at my own pace, having the instructor to talk to or go over bits again on a 1-2-1, having all the tools that was needed to hand. I like having your own bay, own tools so that you can see your own work. Thank you to Carl for a fantastic course. I have really enjoyed it.”
February 2025
“Class size enabled a good learning environment for the more practical courses. I would recommend the course to others as a good encouraging learning environment, which is practical based. What I like about the college is the attitude of the instructional cohort and their willingness to assist no matter what the issue (work or course related).”
January 2025
“I would recommend this course to others. Great for the novice to the experienced. Carl has a wealth of knowledge and experience that would be of benefit to anyone doing this course. I will be hanging doors in the future and the experience and knowledge that Carl has given me will be invaluable. I found it useful getting to work with tools I have not used before that I will be using in the future. Just to say thanks to Carl for a very informative course. Lots learned that will be put to use, very much appreciated.”
January 2025
“This was a really good use of ELC funding for me. I highly recommend this to any service leavers, whether they intend to go into the trade or just complete jobs for themselves. Great value for money, fantastic instruction, good learning environment.”
January 2025
“I would recommend this course to others – simply brilliant. What I like about the college is the atmosphere, friendly, helpful and well structured.”
January 2025
“The most interesting/useful parts of the course for me was having the opportunity to actually practice the techniques such as chiselling out hinge pockets and scribing skirting, bringing it all together as a single ‘real world’ project and learning to use different tools. Excellent tuition and facilities – tutor really knows his stuff and how to teach it.”
January 2025
“The course is structured well from day one, all the way through to the end, with new skills being learned each day. The tutors and staff area all friendly and helpful. Many thanks for a very enjoyable course. I’ve completed the course with much improved set of skills and knowledge which I will be able to use in the future.”
January 2025
“The most interesting/useful parts of the course for me was getting maximum time hands-on with tools and materials. Plenty of opportunities to practice and re-practice. Laying flooring, making cabinet were particularly interesting. Tutor was extremely helpful, patient and gave brilliant advice based on experience.”
December 2024
“I will be implementing everything that we have learnt. Carls support throughout was great, showing us different ways to skin a cat for each method. Very hands on and gain a lot of experience on the tools in a short amount of time. A good learning environment, with good communal space for break.”
December 2024
“Very friendly environment with full tools training and loads of materials to use. I enjoyed hanging the door and doing the wooden floor.”
December 2024
“The most interesting/useful parts of the course for me was having the opportunity to jump straight onto the tools and put into practice what we were learning. Building a room and continuing to add features which you work within for the 9 days really allows you to immerse yourself in the trade. I have learned so much in the last 9 days having little prior knowledge, I believe I am leaving with a new set of skills which are priceless and can improve upon with practice. This course would be great for anyone wanting to develop their skills.”
December 2024
“Thanks to Carl and yourself Dave for running a good college. Great instructors make the college. No shortage of materials to practice on. Course was fantastic, Carl is an asset to the business, another great course I have done.”
November 2024
“This is a good skill to have, even if you don’t work in this trade, you could save money at your home. Skills that I have gained from this course are really important for me. I had a bit of knowledge about carpentry but now I have an idea what make a perfect job. What I like about the college is the environment, friendly staff and enough resources.”
November 2024
“It is a very relaxed environment to work in and we are treated like adults, it is not a problem to not know or understand something, the tutors will show you again. I like how we learnt to do things by hand and then with machinery, it gives you a good understanding and appreciation for the tools.”
November 2024
“Instructors are knowledgeable, approachable and use an easy manner of instruction to get the best result from the student. No question seemed a hardship to answer and individual instruction given where needed. Thoroughly enjoyable course with a high standard of instruction delivered at the right level making learning easy and enjoyable.”
October 2024
“All of it was interesting and relevant. I took so much from this course, probably more than any other course I attended in my 20+ year military career. The skills acquired during the course proves valuable for any person not familiar with carpentry. Hints and tips as well as the outstanding knowledge from the tutor will follow me for the rest of my life. Very friendly and welcoming environment. Tutor was exceptional. Massive thank you to Carl and to the team.”
October 2024
“A good comprehensive course that covers most aspects of carpentry that you would normally come across as a tradesperson. Carl was very helpful and knowledgeable with a good teaching method ensuring that you understood the task.”
