Training Courses

[BAJR Host]

As a stop gap just now... until we formalise it.. here is a list of courses.

They range from education to thatching and drystone walling, from conservation stonemasons to limework. The one caveat I must stress is that short weekend or week courses will only give you a flavour....


A full course / apprenticeship will run for perhaps 4 years. so this is no quick fix... but be a long term commitment.

Think long and hard about where you are now... where you feel you want to go... and perhaps try out a short course if you want to find out whether clinging to a thatched roof in winter is a good move?

Anyway ... thanks to Maggie of Past Horizons for grabbing this quick list:

Although not actual training courses, the National Trust Working Holidays used to be quite good for learning bits and bobs.
