I have become quite a course collector at The Goodlife Centre! Theres something quite magical about this space and the people who both work and learn there. I have so far done the dovetail box, kumiko and turning courses - and so excited for the chair course! Each tutor for these courses have been so generous with their knowledge, shared their passion, warmth, and approached teaching in a patient and understanding way.

The electricals workshop run by Moira was fantastic. She is a really engaging teacher with tons of practical experience to share - we covered a ton of content with lots of time spent practising skills, as well as covering everyone's questions. There were well-timed breaks for tea and coffee (really good biscuits too), which I wasn't expecting but boy did we need them! This is the perfect course for total DIY beginners who want to learn a new skill, feel less clueless when dealing with tradies and be empowered to take on small electrical jobs in the home. Would give more stars if I could.

Wonderful day of drills, acquiring new skills, a varied group and a wonderful teacher.

We thouroughly enjoyed our visit. It was nice to have a small intimate group. The tutor spent a lot of time with anyone who needed it. We all felt included and no one was left without support. We have already booked another day at with you. The only thing that was difficult was the noise from the drilling class next door. It made it a little hard to hear. Otherwise the best day out ever.

What a brilliant day - very well organised, plenty of materials and a lovely relaxed atmosphere! Tutor, John, was very helpful, who was very patient! Highly recommend trying this willow basket weaving. The centre has so many different things to try - my husband did wood turning and thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend it

Had never done any sort of class like this before but signed up for a Drilling class on a whim. Moira, our teacher, was brilliant fun and we learnt a lot - nice group, good atmosphere and the content was practical and easy to grasp too.

I did the ?DIY in a day: drills? course here a month ago - it was fantastic! I learned so much from Moira, a wonderful teacher. I have put up several shelves and hung some pictures since then, referring to my notes and very useful handout. We were able to practice with different makes of drill, in a variety of materials - wood, brick, plasterboard, tile. I highly recommend doing a course here!

Very easy to find location. Good course to do and very good trainer too.

I had the most fabulous time learning how to make a shelf and how to use all the tools involved. The teacher Martin was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, and the coffee and biscuit selections during the breaks was a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend taking a course here and will hopefully be back again soon!

Highly recommend! I attended the ?gardening in small spaces? course with Jane and it was brilliant. I?m a complete amateur in the subject but her passion and knowledge kept me very entertained for the whole time and I feel a lot more confident now.

If you're considering doing a course here just do it, you won't regret it! Learnt so much in one day and have a level of confidence in DIY I have been searching for but haven't found for a long time.

I purchased the Basic Practical Electrics Online course so that I could go through the material in my own time after buying my first home.I was pretty apprehensive of electrics prior to the course with my only memory of any practical electrics being wiring a plug at school.After the course I have so much more confidence and understanding of the electrics in my house and would be comfortable changing switches and sockets.Moira was a fantastic teacher and explained everything from a basic level - I especially appreciated that she always showed variations of units so if you come across a slightly different version of the socket or plug, you still have the confidence to tackle the job.Well worth the money, would recommend!
