What next?

Nailing it! is a DIY Course for Beginners. We see it as our entry-level DIY Course.

You will learn essential DIY knowledge and skills, which will give you the confidence  to go on to any of our other DIY courses. You will no longer feel like a DIY Beginner.

Our  Drill down into Drilling course, directly follows on from this course, by building on the introduction to drills and drivers at the end of Nailing it!

Our DIY “Next Steps” Course puts all the knowledge into practice and teaches you how to put things up on walls.

You will also feel confident enough to join one of our DIY Clubs, and get as much out of the experience of practical collaboration that they offer.

We are confident that you will go home with new DIY confidence. You will no longer feel like a DIY Beginner, and will be raring to get on with some DIY tasks at home.
