Geoffrey Herschell (Bricklaying Course)

An excellent course with professional instruction. Hands on from day one and some how encourages you to want to build more right from the start. On the final day students get to put their own ideas into practice what a great way to round off a fun and enjoyable week. Thank you Able Skills - keep up the good work.

Paul Beaney (Plastering Course)

I found Able Skills through their website, which was very informative, and gave a clear understanding of the variety of courses available. The plastering course i attended was very well structured, and the instructors experience, skill and knowledge, made the course a very worthwhile step in learning to plaster for me, which i intend to use doing my home improvements. All staff are helpful, and even willing to share their knowledge, during breaks. In my opinion, able skills, merits itself by being very good value for money. A professional centre, that i will definitely be using again, and recommending to my friends.

Jack & Petra Bicknell (Tiling)

We have thoroughly enjoyed the course, it was intensive with out being stressful and we learnt alot more than we expected. The instruction was great more practical skills than theory. We would defiantly recommend this course to anyone. The instructor has many years experience in tiling and was very patient and approachable thru-out. Max shared his practical skills and gave us advice on pricing & purchasing. We are looking forward to using these skills on international voluntary building work.

Phil Ackers (Plumbing/Multi-Skilled Course)

Regardless what you think you already know through your own previous experience, there is always something missing or something you don't know. These courses can be the very foundation of what you are ultimately trying to achieve. Able Skills has put those foundations in place for me though good tuition & good humour.

Bob Hodgson (Multi-Skilled Course)

I'm about to retire after 40 years in the Civil Service, and wanted to improve my existing DIY, and learn some new skills.

I found Able Skills on the Internet and was immediately attracted to the wide range of courses on offer and the cost. Their Web site is worth a look, the photo' gallery gives a really good idea of what each of the courses offer.

I decided to enroll in the multi-skill programme; Bricklaying, Plastering, Plumbing and Tiling, which I thought were really good value for money, and would give me the range of skills I felt I needed.

I can thoroughly recommend all of the courses; the instructors are all very knowledgeable in their trades, extremely helpful and put themselves out to make the week both enjoyable and also a valuable learning experience for every one who attends.

Each of the courses uses vary 'hands-on' approach and within half an hour you are practicing the skills. I had a great time, learnt a great deal and got to meet a lot of new and interesting people.

I'm going to put my newly found skills into practice straight away, helping my son with home improvements, as well as the inevitable very long to do retirement list from my wife.

Thanks Able Skills - when I've consolidated the skills I've learnt, I may be back for a second helping - on the advanced courses!!
