What You’ll Learn

To be able to have expertise as a Handyman, we have the following subjects available to you. These courses are our introductory courses, packaged and discounted to give you the opportunity to learn a range of skills. Great instructor lead hands-on courses:

These subjects can be covered in 5 day training periods (Mon-Fri) or over 2 weekends.

How You’ll Learn

These are all hands-on training courses under continual guidance of your instructors. You are involved at every stage, getting completely involved in every aspect of every course. A great way to learn the basics of each trade and to be able to leave with the confidence to undertake aspects of these subjects yourself.

Courses Open To You After

The majority of these subjects have advanced training options available if you feel you want to learn that little bit more or alternatively, maybe you want to move on and specialise in one particular area. If that is the case, most of what we have within this package can be learned on a larger scale to qualification level so if you decide to upgrade, we will take in to account the time spent on the subject and the fees allocated to that subject.

Additional Info

This package of learning will provide you with a C&G certificate for each topic that you cover so from a marketing point of view, an excellent opportunity to stand out from the crowd. Everyone needs a Handyman in their life, what better way to get all of the small jobs done than by using just one person. Equally, employment prospects if you can cover a few trades are also much improved as demand increases with maintenance companies, local authorities, housing associations and many more.

Duration & Cost

You can choose 6 or 7 subjects from the topics listed.

6 subjects – 6 weeks - £2040.00

7 subjects – 7 weeks - £2380.00

A £600 / £700 deposit is payable and the balance can be spread over the period of the training.
