The Course
Our Multi-Skills Course covers the topics necessary to become a handyman or handywoman. You will be guided from a complete beginner to a level of understanding close to a domestic builder who is already enjoying
the benefits of being multi-skilled and working in domestic properties.

The course is specifically for people who have no previous experience or wish to build a career from their previous DIY knowledge. Its aim is to provide you with the theoretical understanding and practical skills to work in a safe and responsible manner within the domestic maintenance and construction industry.

The course also includes business start-up advice and how to calculate estimates and quotes for potential customers.
