  1. Marsh Sewing Machine Services

    After finding myself out of business at the start of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to start a new business venture as a sewing machine repair and servicing engineer utilising a skill I had previously learned some 25 years ago in a previous career. It was then that I came across Artizan Training with whom I signed up to do the domestic lockstitch online course as a kind of ‘refresher’. Their professionalism is second to none and the course content was easy to follow. All the modules were emailed to me along with an exam at the end of each module that also included a practical element to ensure I fully understood each module I finished. I completed the course and now have a fully functioning sewing machine repair and service business that is growing week on week. I can highly recommend Alan and the team to anyone wanting to launch a new venture in sewing machine rpairs. Already looking to see what additional training I can participate in 2021

  2. Susan Lawton

    Delighted with the course. It was very professionally run, the information given was clear, concise and relevant. It has enabled me to maintain my own machines and, more importantly, recognise when I need to seek further professional assistance. I now feel confident enough to carry out a simple service and do some adjustments.

  3. Andrew Boutcher

    A good value online course, with the back up of knowledgeable tutors just an email away.
