What an amazing, detailed, empowering and personal course. Caroline is so lovely and friendly. I've been wanting to go to something like this for a while as I was sick of waiting for the husband to do it and YouTube videos just weren't giving me the confidence I needed. Caroline was able to cater the course to our needs and really cared about what you wanted to learn. She didn't just talk at you! She genuinely wants to help you and keep in touch to see that you are still on your DIY journey. They are definitely worth the price. She doesn't buy you the cheapest tools and materials or waste your time chatting about irrevelant stuff. You get to use a range of them and work out for yourself what you would prefer to use. I shall definitely be attending the rest of her courses. My first project shall be fixing my camera doorbell onto a rendered property. I'm no longer worried about messing up and ending up with...

Caroline was so knowledgeable and shared that knowledge accessibly and well. This introduction to plumbing was really helpful in terms of doing an audit around your own house and being prepared in case something goes wrong (ie knowing where your water shut off is and what an isolation valve is!) and then putting together your own plumbed system with a mix of plastic and copper pipe.

What a great training session💯I did Nailing it! Back to basics - hammer-screwdrivers, screws, sawing, drills-Drills -what does a hammer drill do, what are the settings . What do I consider buying?

Very inclusive and a safe space to ask those questions ✅ I learned what to use, when to use, why to use …and also practiced how to use. What do I need? I feel very confident in tackling my DIY. Caroline has many years of experience and uses her real life experiences for the training. Highly recommend this training as a great starting point and save money by DIY instead of paying for a handy person- DIY...
