01
Who is this for?
Our academy is ideal for classic car owners, car enthusiasts, and hobbyists who want to save money, improve their skills, and take pride in working on their own vehicles. No trade background is needed — just a genuine interest in the craft.
02
Where are the courses held?
All training takes place at our facility in Malton, North Yorkshire — the same workshop where our professional team carries out restoration work every day. You’ll be learning in a real working environment, not a classroom.
03
What will I leave with
By the end of your training, you’ll have the knowledge and practical ability to carry out common interior repairs safely, effectively, and with attention to detail — turning curiosity into capability and passion into craftsmanship.
Hands-on from day one
Students work with real interior materials and professional tools. There is no purely theoretical component — you practise from the moment you arrive.
Small class sizes
Deliberately limited numbers ensure plenty of one-to-one guidance. You can ask questions, set your own pace, and build confidence as you go.
Real workshop environment
Training takes place in our active Malton workshop — the same space where professional restorations are completed daily. The context is genuine.
Proven techniques
Every method taught is drawn from our professional practice — techniques that produce reliable, professional-looking results in real-world conditions.

WHAT TO EXPECT
A day at the Academy
Every course day follows a clear structure — designed so you spend as much time as possible with tools in hand and as little time as possible listening to lectures.
The day opens with a brief introduction to the materials, tools, and techniques you’ll be working with. Your tutor will walk through the science behind what you’re about to do — keeping it practical, not theoretical.
You’ll work through the key techniques on sample panels before applying them to a real project piece. Your tutor guides you through every step, correcting technique and answering questions as they arise.
