Leather is a widely used material and its use is increasing in popularity year in year out. The demand for more knowledge in leather is also increasing as a result of its increased popularity. We provide training courses teaching everything from the leather making process, identifying different leather types, cleaning & care procedures, ink & stain removal, repairs, restoration and re-colouring. |
Courses are run every month at our main premises in Gateshead. We also do bespoke courses where we travel direct to you. The list of areas where we hold courses are;
We run a series of different courses each teaching slightly different aspects of leather, from cleaning and basic repairs to restoration and colour change. Our courses are not just about furniture and upholstery, the skills and knowledge you will learn on a course can be used in other industries such as automotive, equine, clothing and many more.

We can work around you and your company to meet your training requirements. Wether its just teaching your staff a basic understanding of leather or teaching everything from cleaning to restoration or 1 on 1 or group sessions, we listen to you to offer the best courses we can. Heres what we can do.
- Travel to your place of work for training
- Teach large groups or just 1 on 1
