I have completed the Intensive Plumbing Course with Lee. Over the 5 days we covered a wide range of domestic plumbing installations and repairs, through both theory and hands on learning. Having completed a bathroom before, I enrolled on the course to further strength my knowledge and gain confidence; I can definitely say the course provided this. Lee was a great instructor, keeping the days light and entertaining, while sharing the 'tricks of the trade'. Would highly recommend the course. Thank you Lee!

I’ve just completed the CBWA Kitchen Fitter course and it was a comprehensive, intensive two-weekend program. Huge thanks to our tutor, John Little – an experienced carpenter who shared his knowledge generously and made the course both practical and rewarding. Highly recommended!

Sally in office is a delight to deal with. These are very professional people with a good attitude and approach. 5*****

Really great 5-day intensive plumbing course with Lee. He’s friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer all questions we may have. He’s also good at explaining concepts and give tips based on his many years of experience as a plumber. In the span of a week you get to install a whole bathroom, as well as radiators. Would 100% recommend this course. Thanks, Lee!

Very beginner friendly and the staff were amazing, really good range of training activities and a really fun day, Chris was amazing, very friendly and encouraging! Would highly recommend!!

I was on an intensive welding course which started off bumpy but I stuck with it for the entire week. The instructors were amazing. Helpful and willing to answer all my annoying questions. I learned so much, picked up skills I wanted to a great standard and more. They seemingly went the extra mile for me as they saw I was doing pretty well and pushed me to do more harder welds and tests. They helped with advice for my future needs where I want to be welder and I cannot thank them enough

Did my level two mig welding course with Chris & nick, finished and had an awesome experience and great help.
I appreciate it .
Would definitely highly recommend.

I enrolled in a one week Level 1 plumbing course and it was excellent.
The teacher I had was called Lee and he taught us so much in just five days. Great sense of humor and really thorough.
I’m currently working now has a plumber.
Lee gave us a business card and said we could call him anytime with any questions. I called him four times on my first job and he answered every call and helped me immensely. Top man

I recently did a 1 day MIG welding course here. The instructors Chris and Nick were amazing! They were both friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable.
I really enjoyed how much hands on welding I got to do and I really came away feeling confident and feeling like I had learnt a lot.
Thank you guys!

Just completed the intensive plumbing with Lee, brilliant course! Real experience worth its weight in gold with practical doing to learn, no better way. Just replaced my cistern today with a new unit after completing the course yesterday!

Lee takes the time to answer your questions, learnt so much, thankyou!

Just completed the Classic Car & Bike welding course - from booking through to completion the team were fantastic! Chris and Nick the instructors were brilliant; offering expert guidance, tips and support throughout. Over 90% of the course is you getting 'hands-on' practical welding, fabrication and application experience on various materials including vehicle panels. Wish I had completed this course years ago. Thanks to the whole team :-)

I did an intensive pluming course,I found Lee the course instructor to be very helpful and professional in my teaching in plumbing,its a very hands on course and having an instructor like Lee teaching you is a must.i would recommend cwba to anyone looking for any building and welding courses

I had an incredible experience at Central Building and Welding Academy. From day one, I felt welcomed into a safe and professional learning environment. The academy takes safety very seriously, ensuring that all equipment is well-maintained and that every student understands proper safety procedures. This gave me the confidence to focus on my training without worry.

A huge thank you to Mark and Chris, who are not only amazing teachers but also highly skilled welders. Their expertise and passion for welding are truly inspiring. They took the time to teach me the proper techniques, helped me improve my skills, and guided me through every step of the learning process. Their hands-on approach and patience made all the difference in my journey.

Thanks to their training and support, I have developed the skills and confidence to become a welder. They didn’t just teach me how to weld—they helped me understand the trade, refine my technique, and prepare for real-world work. If you’re looking for the best place to learn welding, I highly recommend Central Building and Welding Academy. You won’t find better instructors or a better learning environment anywhere else!

I recently attended a 5-day intensive plastering course, traveling from Cyprus specifically for this training. Whether you're looking to gain skills for work or for personal projects, I highly recommend it.

I joined the course to learn how to fix up my own home, and I’m so glad I did. A massive thank you to John for his patience, experience, and excellent teaching. I never imagined myself doing something like this, but he made it possible—even for someone who’s not usually hands-on.

A brilliant experience all around!

I have just completed the intensive plumbing course and it was exceptional.

Lee our tutor was excellent. Lee brought real life problems and experience into his teaching. He was always there to help when we asked.

Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn about plumbing.

Just completed a 3 day intensive TIG welding course Led by tutor Chris. What an excellent quality course ! From basics as a complete novice to TIG welding to someone who with a little more practice would be feel more than competent to tackle something a lot more complex.
Chris led the course in a no nonsense practical way and was always there to give advice based on his 38 years of real world knowledge. All health and safety information was covered in what could be a hazardous environment and safety was followed immaculately.
The centre itself was very welcoming and all amenity's covered including a kitchen with free tea, coffee and fridge for your packed lunches.
The staff were very friendly and willing to help.
Thank you Chris for a very informative time, I enjoyed it immensely and hope to put my new skills to work very soon

I attended the Intensive 5 day Bricklaying Course I must say it comes highly recommended . Our instructor Peter has a wealth of experience in Bricklaying from teaching about embedment getting the right amount of muck to keeping everything straight and plumb. After 5 days you will be able to tackle your Bricklaying Project with confidence and do a great job.

Fantastic training centre!!!
City & Guilds 2391-52 was a very daunting prospect. The course was delivered with a relaxed environment but very informative. Michelle Lovelock our tutor was a great teacher and also approachable. I would highly recommend this test centre for any courses in future. They are excellent.

Fantastic 5-day kitchen fitting course! Hands-on training, expert instructors, and a well-structured program. A special thanks to John for his patience, expertise, and clear guidance—he made learning both easy and enjoyable.

Highly recommend!

Lee was very helpful on my level 1 intensive plumbing course
