How it is taught
Bench-first, assessed, taught by practitioners
Bench-first
The first four weeks are tool skills on real stock, not slides. You leave each session with a finished joint.
Assessed, not quizzed
Every module ends in a piece of work the instructor marks against the trade standard.
Instructors who practice
Evening instructors work their trade by day. The electrical bench is taught by a certified installer.
House rules
What the shop keeps to
- Twelve seats, capped
- Corrections land the night they are made; the waitlist answers demand honestly.
- The work is the exam
- Every module ends in a marked piece against the trade standard; feedback inside five days.
- Retake a day free
- Fail an intensive day and you retake it free. Standards mean nothing if failing is fatal.
