About Us

When we started offering training in 2004, many critics said it was impossible to teach the necessary skills in two or four-week courses. We are delighted to have proved them wrong. In fact we've gone on to become the UK's leading trade training provider and we've helped hundreds of people realise the dream of working for themselves. You may even have seen us on programmes like Working Lunch or Grand Designs!

One of the reasons for our success is that we teach practical trade skills alongside crucial business knowhow, covering everything from how to register as self-employed for tax purposes to how to attract customers and price jobs. Best of all, we cover this in short, intensive courses which enable our students to turn their lives around in a matter of weeks.
