What Our Customers are Saying

FAQ

How much experience do I need?

None at all! The Beginners DIY Club is designed for complete beginners or anyone who wants to feel more confident with DIY. If you’ve never picked up a drill before, or done any DIY, this course is for you. If you’ve tried doing some DIY, and lost confidence, because things didn’t go to plan, this course is also for you. We’re all about building your confidence and getting you started on your DIY Journey

Is the Beginners DIY Club suitable for women?

Definitely. Our Beginners DIY Club is designed for anyone, regardless of gender. We also run a Women-only DIY Club, which covers all the same material as the Beginners DIY Club.

bePractical DIY specialises in empowering women to tackle home projects with confidence. We provide a safe space for anyone to learn hands-on practical skills

What should I bring?

We recommend wearing old clothing, and sturdy shoes. In the colder months, we suggest that these are warm, or layered. It can get cold in the Workshop.

If you have long hair, we strongly recommend that, for your own safety,  you keep it tied up while you are using any power tools. 

If you would like to bring your own PPE (Personal Protectve Equipment), please feel free to do so. We will provide PPE, but we know that some people would prefer to use their own. (We recommend that you mark them up with your names, so that you can identify them)

Do I need to buy any tools or materials before attending?

Nope! All tools and materials (including jigsaws mitre saws & coping saws) are provided. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn.

What if I’m nervous or have never used a drill before?

That’s exactly why this course exists! We take it step by step, and you’ll have plenty of time to practise.

How do I book, and where are you based?

You can book online at bePractical DIY. We’re based in Bristol, with small group classes for lots of personal attention.
