I have done level 1 and 2 course here with Alan and he is great with his level of knowledge and experience with all the different sewing machines.
He is very patient with the learners and the course is very relaxed and doesn’t feel rushed at all.
I travelled all the way from west Cumbria to be able to learn about these sewing machines for my apprenticeship.
I feel like I have gained a lot of knowledge and feel confident to start looking at the machines we got in the factory and start getting some of the knowledge into practice.
I have definitely enjoyed it and could be back for the next level.
Thanks again Alan for the great experience.

Just completed industrial lockstitch and overlocker training with Artizan Training. Wasn’t expecting to learn a great deal, as we were on a five day course. I couldn’t have been so far wide of the mark, as I feel I have benefitted immensely from this course.
Alan (tutor) is a fantastic teacher and excellent at putting his boundless knowledge across to myself and my colleagues.
If you are a company looking to train your mechanics or a domestic sewing machine owner looking to maintain your own machine, you really should give Artizan Training a call.
I made a 700 mile round trip to attend this course and would gladly undertake the same journey again.
