Empower Yourself DIY Training is designed for adults who want to gain practical DIY skills and confidence around the home.

Whether you’ve never picked up a drill before, want to become more independent with home maintenance, or simply wish to learn in a friendly and supportive environment, this course is for you.

We welcome anyone who may have felt that DIY courses, workshops, or trades were out of reach. Our aim is to provide a relaxed, hands-on learning experience where questions are encouraged and confidence grows with every task.

While we aim to make the course as accessible as possible, participants should be aware that the training involves extended periods of standing, bending, lifting tools and materials, and repetitive hand and arm movements.

As a result, the course may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or mobility limitations, including severe arthritis or conditions that affect strength, grip, balance, or prolonged standing.

If you have any concerns about whether the course is suitable for you, please contact us before booking and we will be happy to discuss your requirements.
