Drill with Confidence & Efficiency.
How to Drill – A complete Beginners Course
Don’t let fear hold you back
I’ll show you exactly how to use a range of handheld power drills including combi drills, SDS drills & impact drivers.
So you can choose the correct drill, and components needed for a perfect job every time.
It’s time to stop fearing power-tools & start putting them to great use!
“I’ve taught hundreds of absolute beginners at my live workshops over the years —
and I see the same beginner-issues coming up time & time again”
I know where beginners struggle when it comes to drills. I know which parts are hard to remember, & the more confusing aspects of drilling that have people stuck every time.
And I see the same difficulties in hands-on practice, so I know where you will struggle & I can make sure that doesn’t happen.
I created ‘Drills’ specifically for people who want hands-on drilling knowledge & skills, fast –
Whether they can get to my classes in person or not.

Absolutely, if you can get to us – why wouldn’t you? My live workshops are a fantastic accompaniment to my online course, however they are not a prerequisite, and both formats are designed to work alone too. The online course is your detailed reference guide, that you can come back to, time & time again.
Whereas my live workshops are fast paced, hands‑on practice – with my guidance and personal feedback.
Many students do both, and love having the best of both worlds. Although, I understand more people will able to join us online, than can ever join us in person – that’s why I designed this course for you.
My live “Absolute Beginner Powertools” workshop includes around 45 minutes on drills, plus a range of other power-tools over the full 2 hours & 45 mins of the session.
It’s hands‑on & full of information, but quick in comparison to my online Drills course which is 3+ hours of bite-size videos arranged in an easy to absorb curriculum.
It covers all the materials you will need to drill; wood, metal, glass, ceramics and walls whether solid or hollow.
I answer every question I know you will ask from my years of experience teaching live. Plus, it includes lifetime access + guides you can revisit forever. There is so much knowledge & value in this course that you can’t find anywhere else. So much, that I could never fit it all into a live one day workshop!
