I did the level 2 plumbing coarse.The trainer Darren was extremely knowledgeable, very easy going and friendly.
The coarse itself was really well run and with Darren’s guidance even a beginner like myself was able to follow and pass the qualification.
All staff were friendly , especially the ladies in the office who are always available for any questions and booking of exams.
I enjoyed this coarse and would definitely recommend this training facility. I’m hoping to re attend and do another course shortly.

"Plastering Course"

I attended the 5 Day Intense plastering course between 6th and 10th January.
The course content is very good and could be suitable for an absolute beginner or someone looking to brush up their skills or gain more confidence.
The elements including preparation of any area requiring plaster whether that be drywall plaster-boarding a stud wall, ceiling ready for skimming or dot and dab onto concrete surfaces. Dealing with joints, corners, beading and techniques for cutting are all included.
Plenty of practical experience is gained across the required stages within the process to achieve a smooth, glass like finish on the plastered surface. Everyone joined in with mixing and cleaning and encouraged each other each day.
The staff at CBWA are brilliant. They operate in the real world and very down to earth and engaging with the students. All instructors from the different trades got to know and speak to us and made us all feel welcome and valued. Thank you to all of the team but especially to John who is absolutely amazing at what he does and the knowledge and experience he so willingly gives advice from without any hesitation. The pace is appropriate for all and allows for all stages and practice on any area to be repeated as required by each student. The whole group loved John and he is such an asset to CBWA and the success of the course by the way he engaged with everyone.
I would recommend CBWA to anyone looking to gain value for money training from people who clearly know what they are talking about and can deliver it in a fashion which benefits the students.

"Amazing what you learn!"

I attended the weekend intensive plumbing course and am amazed at what I have learned. Well worth the money and am genuinely confident to tackle all plumbing in my home renovation. Highly recommended for anyone doing a full house renovation.

"it was a very good experience"

it was a very good experience. i took the plumbing course and went in knowing absolutely nothing about plumbing at all, but i walked away with a good amount of knowledge on the basic things like the heating system, installing a toilet, isolation valves etc etc.


we covered a lot of content, really quickly, but in a concise and understandable way so that even a complete and utter beginner like me can get it.

if you’re a beginner like i was, i absolutely recommend this place to get the basics of plumbing.

"MIG welding masterclass"

A colleague and I returned for our second installment of basic welding. The MIG 2 day course this time. A continuation of the excellent course we attended for MMA. Chris was again a brilliant tutor, the course content was relevant and constructive. All day in the bay burning metal, the best way to learn. Thank you to all at CBWA.
