Learner reviews:"Great course!""The instructor's explanations are detailed, demonstrating knowledge and excellence in the art of 'Luthieria'.""Yes! Thanks Kevin!""It's good for beginner, he explains well everything""A most enjoyable course. I learned something new in each module. In those where I had no experience with the topic at all, things were explained clearly and made simple. Very easy to follow along.""An informative and enjoyable course filled with valuable hands-on examples of proper guitar maintenance practices. Great for both beginners and more advanced guitar enthusiasts willing to learn how to take care of their instrument without spending a fortune on taking it to the luthier.""Very detailed instructions, the instructor is very knowledgable and concise. I would highly recommend this course, can't wait for the next course.""It was a very solid back grounding and I will be looking for a more advanced course now and an opportunity to work on some instruments.""This course was exactly what I wanted. I was looking into guitar building but over time realised it wasn't what I wanted. I was more interested in how guitars work and how to repair and maintain them. This was perfect and easy to follow.""The course is very informative, entertaining and the guy is pretty funny. Watching on mobile and so far its pretty easy to use. No hacks required."The award-winning Guitar Repair Technician training program has been a preferred choice within the Wales Employability Sector for guitar repair training (electric, bass, acoustic, classical), and was entered onto the Careers Wales database of approved courses in 2013.
The problem for many, however, was access to the guitar repair workshops i.
e. many people simply were unable to attend workshops to learn how to repair electric guitars and other types due to time constraints, geographic location and transportation.
The solution: The Guitar Repair Technician training program is now available here through Udemys online learning platform for you to learn how to fix your own guitar and customer guitars in your own time, and without needing to leave home.
This module focuses on specific maintenance jobs that a Guitar Repair Technician might experience, whether youre working in the Guitar and Music industry, following a hobby or simply maintaining your own guitar to keep it in great shape.
Other Guitar Repair training courses are expensive, long and often not easily accessible. This module of the UK government approved training course would cost in excess of 250 per day - here, you can often save over 90% of the cost; it's very worth it.

Qualified as a teacher in 1995. Experience with teaching from ages 7 to 85 in formal and informal settings. Subject Advisor for Initial Teacher Training. Assistant Head Teacher and Subject Leader for Computer Studies. Successful career.
When not marking papers, I enjoy my time teaching people how to play and repair guitars, whilst following my other passion for cooking.
I'm very much a creative person, making the most of life and my interests. And that's also included self employment, something that I really enjoy. I particularly loved the Guitar Repair 'employability' projects that I'd established and ran for a number of years .. and actually secured European Social Funding to deliver the programs, and received a national award for the most progress made with individuals. I'm very proud of that, and extremely proud of those folks who used the training programs to improve their lives in even the smallest ways.
Most importantly for me, when you're on my training courses, is that you're inspired, you benefit from the training, and you're enjoying it!
I'll leave it at that, and look forward to seeing you on my training programs.
Kevin

Very informative. I myself have been playing guitar for 11 years and the last 4 in a professional capacity, and there were still things i learned.

By Pepi Shongo on 12/13/2020

I love that the course is self paced. If I needed answers that I could find in the course work that I could always contact the instructor. I was so impressed with the course that I signed up for modules 2, 3, and 4. I want to learn these skills so that I can properly care for my guitars. I am just learning to play and I want my well cared for guitars to give many years of playing pleasure.

By Chris Miracle on 9/26/2020

Course is great; clear and informative. Instructor has a friendly and calming demeanor.

By Ronnie Galloway on 9/26/2020

Very good course. I haven't completed all assignments but will go back and do so again. I am planning on opening a music shop and, as a guitarist, am familiar with basic aspects of string changing and cleaning but the course showed much more about fingerboard and fret care, re-stringing classical and Floyd Rose guitars which I haven't previously done. Really helpful course, thank you!
