What you will learn

Learn to Drill and put up a shelf

Master the art of drilling with confidence. Our DIY Courses will equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle DIY projects at home without feeling overwhelmed.

Say goodbye to relying on others to get the job done and hello to becoming your own DIY pro!

With bePractical DIY by your side, you’ll have the confidence and knowledge to tackle any task on your own.

Don’t let drilling into a wall scare you off – we’ll guide you through the process and equip you with all the essential know-how for DIY success in your own home.

From putting up shelves to hanging curtain rails and even installing toilet roll holders, we’ll walk you through it all. Get ready for lots of practice attaching stuff to walls and becoming a DIY Hero!

By the end of the workshop, you will be itching to go home, dig out the shelf that you bought in Ikea all those months ago, and put it up on the wall.

What we provide

We will provide all materials, tools etc. However, if you want to bring along your own tools, ongoing projects etc. then feel free to do so.

We also have hot drinks – tea, coffee etc. Feel free to bring your own additional refreshments, if you want to.

What should you bring

We recommend wearing old clothing, and sturdy shoes.
If you would like to bring your own PPE (Personal Protectve Equipment), please feel free to do so. We will proide 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)

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.
