At their workshop in Withington Benchmark run a selection of
courses and training. On Mondays there is a basic woodwork course,
giving people the opportunity to work together to produce outdoor
furniture. For the more ambitious, there is also a 12- week
introduction to wood carving course.
Further routes to accreditation, such as City and Guilds Level 2
Furniture Construction are available at various times throughout
the year. Evaluation and assessment are carried out by an external
assessor on monthly visits to the workshop for the duration of the
course.
