Lastest Testimonies for Building It Better NI
Fantastic course
Attended a Bangor course led by Michelle. Was exactly what I needed, everything broken down and great guidance. Fab wee group and lots of laughs across the two days. Even got to use some power tools I never would have dreamed of trying and made my own toolbox as well as hanging picture frames and curtain poles. Feel confident I could try this myself now.
Skills workshop
I cannot recommend the skills workshop enough. I’m dyslexic and I have to say the teaching was so clear and supportive. I learnt a tremendous amount ,got to use sooo many different tools and as a group of strangers everyone came together and had a laugh and supported each other. Fantastic teacher who constantly checked everyone was working at the same level and all achieved the same goals. I feel so confident now. Massive THANKYOU
Amazing Experience
What can I say, it was the best 2 days, full of learning and laughter. Brilliant teacher, host and now friend. Great bunch of girls to learn with too. Would 100% recommend this course to everyone. Thank you, love Scratch xx
Banbridge DIY Course
What am incredible weekend led by the fabulous Sarah. Myself and 10-odd intrepid DIY’ers arrived on Saturday with – to be honest – no idea what was to come (Top Tip…. read the emails! ๐).
By the end of the two days every one of us had used and understood how to use the following:
A Combi Drill
An Impact Driver
A Circular Saw
A Jigsaw
A Chop Saw
We learned how to identify, select and match the right drill bits, screws with the right materials. We built a stud wall , we hung shelves. We learned about different wall fixings and what to use where.
We build something to bring home (a tool box), we built confidence, and we built friendships. We laughed, we learned and we helped each other.
I can’t recommend this course highly enough, and have signed up for the Electrics course in July.
Thank you again Sarah!
