What our students said
Feedback from people who joined us to learn practical skills, build confidence and have a laugh along the way.
Great course, Simon was so knowledgeable and easy to get along with. The information was really in depth and everything was explained in detail. Would love to do another! In terms of constructive feedback, perhaps it would be good to have some printed information to take away with us as reminders of the key information. Thank you again for a great course!
Really enjoyed the course.
Spot on, had a great time learning and it was a really relaxed atmosphere. We had a laugh at the same time.
Excellent course!!!
A huge thank you. I really enjoyed my plastering course. Esra, my tutor, was fantastic. I’m looking at my freshly plastered hall and stairway thanks to the skills I learned.
Really enjoyed the course. A good foundation on which to build plastering skills. Be prepared with lots of questions; it will help you to get the most from your time.
Really enjoyed the course from start to finish. Ez was a great trainer and it was a good group too. I walked away with the skills I wanted and the confidence to tackle work at home. I will be back for other courses and I will recommend you. Thank you.
Great course and Ezra was an outstanding instructor. I felt capable of tackling the plastering for my renovation project by the end. Thank you, and I may see you on the tiling course too 😃
It was a great course. Good, friendly teachers and I definitely learned a lot.
The course was very useful and I am looking forward to putting some of the things into practice. Robin was very knowledgeable and showed us better ways to do things. I think it would be useful to have an information pack on the best tools for different jobs and what they do, to take home and study. I would recommend the course and look forward to doing more courses.
Brilliant set-up, friendly environment and a great tutor! Impressed and well worth it. Thank you!
Ezra was a great teacher and made the course very fun and informative.
Good course. It builds confidence in the practical skills needed for plastering. Would recommend.
Good course for beginners.
Amazing course. Learned lots. Ezra was amazing. Thanks.
Ezra is a brilliant teacher for The DIY School and taught the group very well. I have definitely learnt the skill I was hoping to learn. At first I lacked confidence in my ability, but after the first day I was literally flying. With excellent tips and tricks from Ezra and four solid days of practice, I am fully confident to take this craft on. Well done to the rest of the team too. Great course and highly recommended.
I loved the home maintenance course. I am very glad I went and it was well worth it. The instructor, Robin, was excellent. He is very knowledgeable, kind and has many interesting stories to share. My group was quite small, which meant we had more attention and were able to go at a good pace. We covered all the items on the course webpage syllabus. I especially enjoyed the practical aspects; they were set at just the right level of skill and duration. The course has given me confidence to tackle minor problems and projects in my home. I’m very much looking forward to trying my own hand!
Brilliant course. Simon was very helpful and informative. I would definitely recommend this course and the other courses to friends, family and anyone interested in upskilling themselves. I’ll be back to do more courses in the near future.
Great course and I will be back to do the two-day garden walls course next month. Thank you, Simon, for being a great teacher. I can’t wait to start building.
Great course, fun to learn new skills and Robin is an ace teacher. I would highly recommend the school.
Good course, very knowledgeable.
Great course. I really learned a lot to help set up my own business. Shout out to Mark’s teaching skills and words of wisdom. Will be back soon for more!
Absolutely loved the course. The teacher was knowledgeable and thorough, and made learning fun while teaching the skills needed.
It was brillinat and Robin was the best teacher !!!
Hi there My husband attended the course with our son Benjamin Sayers and was wondering if there was any way he too could have a certificate. They both thoroughly enjoyed the course and got so much from it. I will pass the feedback form onto my husband to complete. Thank you so much for making our son feel so welcome this has done so much for his confidence and they both enjoyed it. Many thanks Jo

I really enjoyed the course, I learnt alot of techniques and hacks to make tiling easier.
Well delivered and very well demonstrated by a skilled and experienced tutor.
Very informative. Provided me with lots of new skills ready to take on most DIY tasks around the home.
Les, the instructor gave clear, concise instructions. He was very patient with a smatter of humour. I'm now confident that I can sort the doors in my house.
Plastering course in April 2026 with instructor Ezra was really good and informative.

Amazing tutor. Very practical lots of woodwork skills learnt.
Great course, gave me the skils to get started.
Brilliant course thank you very much!
We enjoyed the course. It is great that you allow teenagers to come too… I’m really proud of Oliver for attending for all 4 days. At 14 years old he’s never done anything like that, but he got stuck in and really tried. He’s shy, but everyone was really friendly. It was lovely to do something so useful as a mum and son activity. I hope it might inspire him to do more practical courses when he leaves school. I’m looking forward to putting the learning to use on my renovation project.
Was a really good course I learned a lot from it and had loads of helpful advice. I really enjoyed it.
Ezra was fabulous. A great mixture of teaching and then letting us get hands on with it.
Really good, enjoyed and learned a lot.
F&£ing loved it cheers si
Great course, and a fabulous thing to do as parent and teen course, great on many levels, which I have already recommended lots. Please can we each have a certificate for this course attended names, Sharon Bateman and Gabriel Bateman.
