I thoroughly enjoyed the course.  An excellent mix of theory and practical.  Good use of anecdotes to add to learning.  The instructor is experienced and time served.  I would recommend the course to others. Richard Scott, 10 day bricklaying course

You learn quite a lot in such a short time, the tutor is always there to answer any questions.  I liked how relaxed everyone is, everyone has a laugh.  Being the only female I was a bit worried and felt intimidated, but every man on the bricklaying course made me feel welcome and at ease, no one judged me.  I’m really happy.  I would recommend this course. Kirsty Dale, 10 day bricklaying course

Excellent tuition by an experienced instructor.  Great feedback and on on one instruction.  Great course!  I have recommended it to numerous people who are now booked on. Karl Foster, 10 day bricklaying course
