Course Curriculum

We have put together a wide ranging course covering all the basic practical life skills needed for living independently. Topics include:

  • using a power drill and fixings for jobs around the home including putting up pictures and shelves;
  • basic plumbing including turning off the water, fixing leaks, bleeding radiators, adjusting toilet cisterns and unblocking drains;
  • installation, use and maintenance of home appliances;
  • basic electrics including fuses and thermostats; and
  • random life hacks we wish we’d known when growing up like how to wrap up a long length of rope, unscrewing a tight jar, opening a bottle and sharpening a knife.

If you are unable to find a time that suits please feel free to contact us.

Testimonials or Past Attendee Experiences

How To Basically... an absolutely superb experience. The 4 children aged 8 to 12 all learnt new skills, were thoroughly engaged and visibly grew in confidence through the session. Everyone was very proud of the bird box they had made from a wooden pallet. Justin was an excellent teacher and had a fantastic calm way with the children. I could not recommend How To Basically enough.

My 12 year old son just came back from his second workshop at How To Basically and loved it. He reported back in great detail how he built his beautiful bird house and it was wonderful to feel his sense of achievement and found confidence to enjoy learning a new skill outside home and school. We appreciate that Justin takes so much care about each individual. He even called us prior to the course to discuss Paolo's needs and preferences to make him feel really at ease. Thanks a lot for your wonderful offer. We are looking forward to the next one. The courses for adults sound great too.
