Thinking about learning a trade but not sure what to expect? Three of our learners can tell you better than we can.

Joseph shared how he went from knowing nothing about TIG welding to understanding the basics. Matthew praised the support on his carpentry course. And Dicky enjoyed his MIG course enough to come back for the next level.

Cornice? Pelmet? Mitred joint? Kitchen fitting has its own language — here's what it all actually means , You don't need to be a plumber or an electrician or complete pro to fit a kitchen.

Fitting a kitchen is precision joinery — and on our Intensive Kitchen Fitting course, complete beginners set out and build a full kitchen from scratch:

🔩 Units (the "carcasses") — the boxes the kitchen is built from. Getting these dead level is what everything else lines up to.
📐 Mitred joint — two worktops cut at 45° so they meet in a clean corner, like a picture frame.
🚪 End panel — a finished panel that covers the bare side of an end unit, so no rough edge shows.
✨ Cornice & pelmet — the trims along the top and bottom of your wall units that give that built-in, "properly fitted" look.
🔲 Kickboard (or plinth) — the board along the floor that hides the units' legs and feet.
🪵 Edging strips — cover the raw cut edges of worktops and panels for a smooth finish.

Plus hanging doors, fitting handles and building drawers so every gap lines up.

You don't need to know a single one of these words to start — you'll learn and practise all of them, hands-on, on our Intensive Kitchen Fitting course. No tiling, no plumbing, no experience needed.

Want the full trade too? Our NOCN-accredited Kitchen Fitting course adds tiling, plastering and plumbing.

📌 Save this so the jargon never trips you up — and tag someone doing their kitchen.

Never welded before? That's exactly who our welding courses are built for.

Plenty of people who walk into our welding bay have never picked up a torch — and a few days later they're laying down clean, confident beads. Others already weld for a living, and use our workshops for hands-on practice to sharpen up for a specific standard or test. Beginner or time-served, everyone gets the same thing: real time on the torch and expert eyes on every weld.

Here's what hands-on welding training with us actually gives you:
- Time on the torch from day one — MIG, TIG and stick (MMA), not just watching
- Small groups and proper one-to-one feedback in a real workshop
- Skills for work, a career change, or your own classic-car and home projects
- A route towards a Level 2 City & Guilds in welding

Whether you've got a couple of days or a full week, you'll leave able to do something you couldn't when you arrived.

📌 Save this if learning to weld is on your list — and tell us: what would you weld first ?
