Coupled with general safety at work regulations and delivered by a certified instructor, this will ensure your due diligence and compliance are covered and educate attendees on the importance of chemical safety. We then move on to the practical element, working through all the stages of a consumer-preferred safe wash and interior valet, from inspection through to protection applications, all in the most time-efficient manner possible to deliver showroom results, with demonstration and involvement in all stages and time management to ensure a constant and predictable workflow. By the end of the Stage 1 day, attendees will be well versed in all aspects of basic valeting skills and can either return to implement their new skill set or progress to Stage 2 to enhance the value further. Courses can be attended by up to 6 employees at a time, and for 3+ attendees the day can be run remotely at your own premises, subject to a few additional costs.

This workshop gives you the unique opportunity to experience the basics of two crafts in 1 day in your own personal pairs workshop with one to one tuition. The studios are located in the cottage garden of our home on the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk border. Your experience is private to you and there will be no other students in the studios. The "2 crafts in 1 day" workshop is aimed at those who want to have a go at both of these fun crafts, and come away having learnt some basic techniques for both disciplines. As this is basically a private tuition experience, the course is focused but fun, so would make a fantastic gift. The day can also be experienced by just 1 person (to book this, please refer to our other workshop ""2 Crafts in 1 Day!" 1-2-1 woodturning & pottery experience in 1 day for 1 person" where each person could experience the crafts singularly or together. This makes for a wonderful Valentine's or anniversary experience, and can also be enjoyed by a parent and child. The morning is spent learning the ropes of woodturning - how to cut and shape wood on the lathe, understanding a little about the different tools required, and making a few pieces to take home. After a light farmhouse-style lunch (which we provide and which we tailor to your dietary requirements), the afternoon then continues with a pottery session. Students can have fun with clay, focusing on some basic hand building methods to get them used to handling the material using the techniques of pinching, coiling, slab building and also throwing on the wheel. A total of 3 pieces can then be chosen for us to glaze and fire once they have dried sufficiently. When ready, they can either be collected by the student (if they live locally) or I can post them on (I have to charge postage & packaging). Refreshments are provided during both workshops, and a light, rustic farmhouse-style lunch is also included - catering to all dietary requirements. Depending on the weather/time of year, lunch can be taken either out in the cottage garden or in our country kitchen. The sessions are hands-on with expert 1-2-1 tuition - and the student will be able to use all the studio facilities. Each student will also be provided with a certificate of participation for both crafts. About a week before your workshop date, we'll e-mail you again with more details about parking etc. We also offer accommodation in the form of our Crafter's Retreat cabin (www.craftersretreat.co.uk) or we can advise of other local B&Bs.
Learn how to prepare & join wood to make items that are both practical & beautiful. With personal tuition learn to be creative.
This two day Fire Alarms BS 5839 course is based upon BS 5839:1, BS 5839:6 Fire alarm systems are essential for the safety of life and/or property. In general, it is appropriate to install some form of fire alarm system in virtually all buildings, except very small relatively open planned buildings. The initiation of alarm can be either manual or automatic, or a combination of both, as is usually the case. The level of cover required by a building is based upon a fire risk assessment and a suitable system selected to meet this need. The Fire Alarms BS 5839 course provides the necessary information to design, construct and commission a non-addressable fire alarm system to BS 5839. The first day of the Fire Alarms BS 5839 course is spent reading through and interpreting the relevant parts of BS 5839. The second day of the Fire Alarms BS 5839 course takes the form of a practical workshop where a system is designed, constructed and inspected and tested. The participant is then introduced to the practical issues of system maintenance, certification and reporting.
