Intensive woodworking career redirection
A New Start
As an adult, it can be difficult to gain a comprehensive foundation in woodworking skills without embarking on a long-term and expensive course, often necessitating relocation. At the Northern School of Woodwork we provide an intensive 10 week course which combines hands-on workshop time with home study and skills practice.
The course is tried and tested and has received great feedback. It’s a very cost effective way to prepare the building blocks for a new direction in your working life.
