The Boat Building Academy is a not-for-profit company providing full-time, highly practical skills training with the emphasis on ‘hands-on’ learning. The school was founded in 1997 by Commander Tim Gedge, who is still a Director.
Experts teach the widest range of hands-on boat building courses in the world, specialising in composite, modern and traditional wooden construction, restoration and repair. Students on the intensive 38 week course gain practical experience by working on a wider range of construction types than found in most boatyards or on any other boat building course.
The Academy also offers woodworking courses, running from 5 days to 12 weeks. Based on our boat building training philosophy courses are hands-on, intensive and the 12 week course offers people the opportunity to design and make a piece of furniture in addition to gaining City & Guilds certification.
