DIY course for females
Fantastic presentation and wholly enjoyed the 2 day course. It has given me such confidence in my ability to tackle DIY projects this Spring.
Well worth it!
Absolutely fantastic course, Michelle and Sarah were very knowledgeable and very encouraging. I came to the course without any real experience of DIY and I can now confidently use power tools and identify their parts, hang shelves and curtain poles, make items out of wood and even build a stud wall! Do not hesitate, it is well worth the money and the teachers and group of ladies were all lovely too, great weekend!

So Good!!
Just completed a two day course with Sarah. Went from zero knowledge of power tools to be able to drill and insert screws confidently and cut with a jigsaw. Over the course of two days we built a wall, hung shelves, and built a wooden tool box. Sarah is a brilliant, patient and fun teacher. Lovely working in a group with similar minded women. Couldn’t recommend this course enough so if you want to empower yourselves ladies don’t hesitate give it a go ! Thank you Sarah!!

Hi Bernadette,
Thank you so much for your fantastic 5 star review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed experience.
We are absolutely delighted to hear you went from zero knowledge of power tools to confidently drilling, inserting screws, and using a jigsaw in just two days. That is a brilliant achievement. Building a wall, hanging shelves, and making your own wooden tool box is a lot to pack in, and it is exactly the kind of hands on learning that builds real confidence.
Thank you as well for your lovely words about Sarah. Brilliant, patient, and fun is a perfect description and she will be chuffed to read that. We also love hearing how much you enjoyed learning alongside a group of like minded women. That supportive atmosphere is a big part of what makes the course work so well.
Thanks again for the recommendation, Bernadette. Your message about empowering yourselves will really encourage other women to take the step and give it a go. I will make sure Sarah sees this.

Thanks Michelle for a great course and I really enjoyed and the craic. I have been inspired to maybe try projects.
I now have got some confidence to use power tools and know what they can do and not scared of them now. I look forward to hearing about any other courses and will spread the word to others about the course. 🛠️
