Excellent 2 day DIY course
Sara and Michelle are excellent teachers and so supportive. They covered so much over the 2 days and really gave you the confidence to have a go at using a wide range of tools.Working and learning together with other women was empowering. The enthusiasm and can do attitude of the group has given me the confidence to have a go at jobs I would usually ask a tradesman to do.

Really enjoyable
I learned so much on this course, had such a lot of fun! I’d never held a drill before but used lots of power tools, learned how to saw and sand – so much more. Really appreciate the fantastic instructors for everything! Definitely recommend 😃

2 Day Diy Class Enniskillen
I attended two Saturday sessions in May 2025 in Enniskillen because I had no clue about DIY and how to achieve the ideas I had in my head without waiting for busy male family members or paying someone.
The class was brilliant and gave me a great foundation and skills to build upon. I went from having no knowledge to building a toolbox with various tools, and then working with a partner to build a stud wall! Sara’s really approachable and I felt I could ask the “silly” questions and makes the mistakes and she would talk us through these to ensure we could correct them (or not make them) at home ourselves.
I highly recommend getting on as many of these courses as you can. We’ve also now got a great network of like-minded ladies nearby that we can run ideas by, share tips, or even call upon for help
