"Excellent Training course. All aspects of repairing double glazed units and door including tilt and turn and patio doors were covered thoroughly and extensively with hands on experience. The tutor Alan was very knowledgeable and as well as training on all the practical aspects gave advice on tools to buy and not to buy . With a very extensive last day on marketing tips for setting up on your own if thats the way you are going. The free toolbag with all the tools to get started was a definite plus as well"
