Testimonials

We took the flooring and tiling course through this DIY centre. I recommend the courses. Much more knowledgeable than watching utube videos. We will be saving lots on doing our own basement renos. Thanks again!

Teresa Sand

I wasn't confident before coming here that I installed some dimmers at home correctly. However, after completing this class, I could install several and swap out switches & outlets without any issues. I'm looking forward to some other exciting classes, and I recommend this to everyone.

Brent Van Geertruy

Colin even stayed past the end of the class to ensure everyone got their questions answered. The hands-on part was a key component as well, as many people had never used power tools before, and the overall confidence level was SO much higher by the end! I'd definitely take another class here.

Tamara Araujo

Loved the training!! Would love to come again for more sessions!

Jaspreet Hayer

I originally signed up for the Maximizer Class but had to miss some of it due to a schedule conflict. Jackie and Colin were great to arrange it for me to make up what I missed. It's been great to participate with others because they ofter asked questions I hadn't thought of.

Dan Jones

My wife and I completed the Framing Walls session on May 22nd. It was exactly what we needed to begin our own basement building! Loved it! All our questions answered, we learned how to use some of the tools, some tips and tricks, and of course how to build walls! 10/10

Ricardo Peters

Tim was a great instructor. For an introductory level class, we got to try hands-on some of the most common power tools, which was exactly what I was hoping for. Class size was small (6 ladies) which was perfect. Would definitely take another class with Tim.

Meo Heo

I really enjoyed this class. It was a nice mix of a few of the most used tools, and some common jobs around the house that you can easily do yourself. The instructor was knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to taking another class.

Sandra Sweet

Awesome homeschool class! My son really liked Bryan and learned a ton. We'll definitely be back for more classes.

My son recently took a class here and it was wonderful. From registration, to answering my questions and to the actual class it was a great experience. He loved the teacher and learning to use more power tools and created some great projects he was really proud of. Thanks so much!

Lindsay Cummings

Wonderful experience have more confidence to PLAN out for floors and tile and even baseboards.(never used Mitre Dual Bevel saw so angles were a bit challenging but practice makes perfect) Colin, Tim and Bryan have so much knowledge that they shared with us. Will def take more classes. 👍👍👍👍👍

Sandy Christen

I had a wonderful afternoon with Colin and fellow student, Monica. Colin is great! You never feel he is speaking down to you or your an air head. We went beyond the scope of the class to include table saws. I am a convert, I am just on sure what I should take next. Thanks so much Colin and Jackie!! 5 Stars in my estimation!

I recently completed the 3-day renovation training course at DIY, and it was an amazing experience! It was a great opportunity for me to learn new skills and gain hands-on experience with tools and renovation techniques. All of the instructors were very helpful, patient, and supportive they really made sure everyone understood the material and felt confident. I walked away feeling empowered and much more prepared to take on projects at home. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in home improvement or just learning something new!
Joy Patterson
Great course! Great patient trainers. So much fun. Highly recommend this course!

I took Dave's class on accent wall and had no prior experience in handing any power tools or any other knowledge prior to taking this course. But Dave made it so easy. He is an amazing teacher, very knowledgeable and skilled and also super patient! So, if you have a DIY project but don't know how to go about it, this school is the place for you!Thank you, Dave! :)

Learned so much and had a another great instructor. Thank you Tim!

I took the 3 day women’s renovation starter course with Dave, Lee, Bryan and Tim. The instructions were clear and easy to understand; friendly and humorous. They were open to answering our questions and tailored the class content to our renovation challenges. I will be back to take more classes this spring. Thanks for a great learning experience.

omar Sheckley
I had the honor to meet with Dave today for my framing course. Dave is a mountain of knowledge, we spent the day framing a wall with a door opening. Dave made the whole experience fun, easy, and very practical. He explained the reasons why things need to be the way it's and it made sense to all of us especially when we saw our finished project. I can't recommend this course enough especially to those who are looking to sharpen their skills and gain more knowledge.
Bobcat Johnson
Had so much fun at the power tool session and learned so much while we were there. Dave is such a cheery guy and even showed us some caulking tips along the way!! 10/10 would recommend and I am planning on going to more classes now too!! Look out all the things that I want to change and fix...I will get you!
Bev Kovacs
The Power Tool Starter class this morning with Dave was exactly what I was looking for to boost my confidence and experience using hand tools. Hands on learning is so beneficial. Having a knowledgeable, fun and patient instructor like Dave who encourages questions makes the experience 100% better. Thanks DIY!
Bina Wade
The DIY beginner Ladies’ course taught by Lee was excellent. He explained instructions well, gave us plenty of time to practice and was patient with us as we learned the skills. We learned to use drills, saws and how to drywall. He gave us many tips to help us be successful. Thanks so much. I highly recommend DIY Training!

I booked the drywalling course for my husband. He said it was well worth the time and money. He learnt more than he expected from his trainer who he said was very supportive and knowledgeable. I am signed up for the 3-day course next week. Based on his feedback, I am looking forward it, more than ever!

I recently attended the two-day Homeowner's Electrical training at DIY Training Center, and it was a fantastic experience. During the course, I learned how to wire panels, as well as single, three-way, and four-way switches, and how to wire fixtures. The knowledge I gained has given me confidence in handling future home renovation projects with ease.I would highly recommend this course to others, and I plan to enroll in more training sessions myself in the future.Thank you for offering such valuable and practical training!
Shakeel Merchant
Instructor Randeep was very knowledgeable , His method of teaching was such that person like who had very little knowledge of electric learned a lot in these days of classes, he went above and beyond to make sure we all understood what he was teaching, and made sure we were comfortable doing it , he also answered all the questions we had . Excellent instructor and I will definitely recommend my friend and family members to take the class .Thank you Randeep for sharing your knowledge with us .
Wendy Lo
The Best Ever Class I Ever Took!!!I recently attended a 3-day home renovation Kickstarter Ladies class at the DIY Training Center, and it was fantastic! As a newbie, I was initially nervous about using power tools, but our instructors, Bryan and Dave, were amazing. They taught us essential skills like baseboarding, casting, caulking, flooring, and tiling, making sure we understood how to use each tool properly and safely plus all the tricks from their experiences.Thanks to their expert guidance, I now feel confident to start my own DIY projects. The hands-on training and supportive environment were invaluable. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to gain practical skills in home renovation. Kudos to Bryan, Dave, and the entire team!
Aurelia Fafs
I just completed my 3 days diy training. It was an amazing experience.

Souheila El-Tasse
Taking one 3 hour course gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed to tackle a simple wall tiling project in my unfinished basement. It has inspired me to sign up for more courses so I can do more of my own renovations. I feel empowered, and I’m excited to learn more.
