- Is there parking at the training centre ?
Stockport training centre has plenty of free parking.
- What clothes do I need to bring?
Your clothes are likely to become heavily if not permanently soiled, so old clothes or workwear should be worn. Warm clothing should be worn during the Winter, as you can always remove items of clothing if you’re hot, but you can’t add them if you haven’t got them with you! We have very limited changing facilities at the school. Please do not bring unnecessary valuables as The DIY School cannot be held responsible for their loss. The DIY School is like a construction site in that nails etc may be on the floor and heavy things may be dropped. Safety footwear, or at very minimum, sturdy shoes should be worn that will offer you protection. We do not recommend the wearing of training shoes.
- What tools do I need to bring?
We provide all the necessary tools and materials required for your course.
- Can I get refreshments at the training centre?
There is FREE hot water to make yourself a drink, as well as cold filtered water, but we do not provide tea, coffee or drinking cups, due to cold & flu containment measures. You are welcome to bring along your own mugs, cups and utensils to make your own drinks.
We have a small seating area for you to take any breaks and have your lunch. You can purchase lunch from one of the local supermarkets, cafe's and sandwich shops nearby during your course, or bring your own. We do not offer any food heating facilities.
