Gareth Bass: Completed 10 day level 1 Carpentry & Joinery Course

I have just completed my two weeks Level 1 in carpentry and joinery. I really enjoyed my training over the two weeks, learning so many new skills in a friendly environment. My tutor Lawrence was great at explaining what we needed to do and demonstrating the technique used to complete the task. I would definitely recommend the YTA training centre if you are looking to start something new in the industry or further your skills. A big thank you to the team.

Excellent Multiple Courses YTA Review.

We have received an excellent multiple courses YTA review from an ex student after completing several courses. Nigel completed Tiling, Carpentry, Plumbing, Plastering, Bricklaying and Kitchen Fitting courses at YTA over several weeks and has since completed various projects including installing 3 bathrooms whilst renovating his properties as a landlord and is now completing his second kitchen installation. You can read his review of YTA and our tutors below:

Nigel Hammond YTA review

I attended a suite of YTA courses including Tiling, Carpentry, Plumbing, Plastering, Bricklaying and Kitchen Fitting. I was a novice, working in IT, with little more experience than the odd DIY job. I have used all the training as a landlord, renovating a few properties. I’ve installed 3 bathrooms (includes all appliances , tiling, and flooring), and I’m currently installing my 2nd kitchen (again involving plenty of plumbing, tiling, woodwork etc). As well as numerous other DIY tasks, around the place. I understand this would be a small fortune to pay tradespeople to do. I’ve done it myself, thanks to skills and confidence developed as a result of attending YTA courses, instructed by the excellent tutors Lorry, Dave, and Graham. I also gained a great deal of knowledge surrounded by industry trades people, also cross-training across disciplines. A very helpful perspective. I’ve plenty to learn in maintaining properties, but I think its helpful to get a good grounding in what is a multi-discipline/skill set of tasks. Many thanks to tutors and course colleagues.I recommend to anyone who wants to have a go and do a good job, and some might say, professional.

Thank you Nigel for an excellent 5 star multiple courses YTA review. It’s always lovely to see students put their training and skills to good use following the courses.

New Special Offers Now Available

We currently have 2 fantastic offers on that are running from October 2019 to 31st January 2020. We have a ex-student 10% off offer and a 4th week half price offer. Please be aware that if places fill up these offers will end before the 31st January.

For more details please see our TOP OFFER.

4th week half price offer!

Over the winter months of October to February we will be running our very popular 4th week half price offer. The offer is 4 weeks worth of training but the 4th week is charged at half price saving you at least £225. The 4 weeks worth of courses must be completed within 12 weeks from the first course starting. This offer includes undertaking our 5 day courses, 5 day advanced courses (second week courses) and 10 day courses. You do not have to complete the 4 weeks consecutively either, you can spread your weeks out over the 12 week period. Please be aware that places are limited and are on a first come basis.

How the offer works:

  1. Call the centre and discuss course dates and options
  2. Book suitable course dates and pay £400 deposit (£100 deposit per week/date booked) The deposit will be £500 if kitchen fitting is included.
  3. The remaining balances are then due on the first day of each course.

Typical example A: (more examples further down the page)

  1. Pay £400 deposit for 4 weeks of courses
  2. 1st week = 5 day tiling course (pay £350 balance)
  3. 2nd week = 1st 5 days of 10 day plastering course (pay £350 balance)
  4. 3rd week = 2nd 5 days of 10 day plastering course (pay £350 balance)
  5. 4th week = 5 day plumbing course (pay £125 balance)

Total cost = £1575 including vat (£1312.50 excluding vat) A saving of £225!

The offer above is just a typical example but you can choose any 5 day courses to fit the offer. You could even choose 4x 5 day courses in 4 different trades or even 2x 10 day courses and you will still make the same saving.  The 4th week must be completed within 12 weeks from the first course start date, if it is not then you will lose your 4th week deposit. Thats the offer!

If you would like to add on a qualification these are charged at extra costs. So the example above (Example A) could be made into Cskills level 1 certificate in plastering for £300 extra because you are just paying the additional qualification fees.

Courses available:

  2. 1st week = 1st week of 10 day level 1 plastering course (pay £650 balance to include £300 qualification fee)

Fantastic 5 star multiple course review for YTA

A fantastic 5 star multiple course review for YTA on Google has been received following the completion of several YTA Training courses. Tiling, carpentry & joinery, plumbing, kitchen fitting and plastering courses completed by Anthony Nolan – an Electrician form Wales.

Having looked at various training providers I decided to try YTA, I have an electrical background and my objective was/is to be able to save money by renovating my own property and fit my own kitchen. That may be ambitious as I did not have experience of joinery, tilling, plumbing, or kitchen fitting, (although I had done some ‘plastering’ before) I spoke to Graham on the phone and we discussed a realistic development plan. With YTA, I did the 5 day joinery course, the 5 day plumbing course, a 2 day wall tiling course (specific to kitchen tilling) and a 2 day plastering skimming course ( with a specific practice session to skim over textured surfaces) and I recently completed the 5 day kitchen fitting course. As I am 57 years old and have worked in the construction industry I feel I can offer some advice to people that may be considering learning some construction skills. The instructors at YTA are all master tradesmen with decades of experience within each of their own areas of expertise, Lawrence carpentry, kitchens. Lyndon plumbing, electrical, Dave plastering, tilling. Plus Graham has an extensive plumbing background they were all very easy to get on with, bags of patience and are always willing to impart their knowledge. The courses are well structured to ensure progression and confidence. I believe courses offer excellent value for money and a great investment for people considering changing their careers or widening their income opportunities, with the option to attain valuable recognised qualifications if required. The facilities are excellent, easy to get to with adequate safe free parking, I travelled from N Wales and stayed in affordable (starting at £20 per night) farm house accommodation, within easy walking distance of YTA. During training time coffee, tea, decent biscuits are on tap throughout. For lunch break (45mins) there is a fridge and microwave cutlery and crockery available, plus close by plenty of options such as subway, MacDonalds, sandwich shops, Starbucks, personally I opted for the Fish and Chip shop just around the corner. According to Graham it is highly rated, especially by non local people!!! To finish this review, all I will say is, I was impressed, the other people doing the course whilst I was there were also happy and I believe you would be too. Thank you

Wow! What a fantastic 5 star review Anthony. Thank you. You certainly have worked your way around the training centre on a few different courses and we’ve all enjoyed having you with us. Glad you enjoyed those fish and chips too! Thanks once agin for such a superb review.
