Courses

Apologies everyone!  We had expected our 2026 programme to be published here in May but we are hoping to bring online a new training venue this year and gaining clarity about it's availability has taken some time.  We anticipate knowing about where courses will be staged in mid July and we will now update this page with our autumn and winter offers at that point.

Introduction

Each year we run a variety of courses providing a better understanding of Georgian/Victorian architecture and the conservation issues surrounding the upkeep of these properties. These courses have been taken by students studing historic buildings, architectural students, owners of historic homes or construction professionals.  We offer the two courses listed below or we can tailor courses to suit your needs

This four-day course, taught at intervals over several weeks, aims to provide an understanding of traditional building materials and methods, strengthen the attendees ability to interpret the evolution of historic buildings and encourage the use of appropriate building products and repair techniques. The course is designed principally for surveyors and other building professionals and is one of our most popular seminar series.
