If you’re not able to register online, you can reach out to the school to make arrangements to come for in person payment options.
What is your class cancellation policy?

Do you have a waiting list for sold out classes?

Yes. If a class you’re interested in is sold out, simply drop us an email and we’ll be happy to put you on our waiting list. You’ll be notified when the next space becomes available. Many of our classes are extremely popular and fill up fast. We encourage you to register as soon as you can when our new semesters become available.
Do I have to bring my own tools and materials?

No. We provide all of the tools and materials you’ll need for each of our classes and courses. That said, some of our long term students prefer to use their own tools and we certainly don’t mind if you bring them along.
Does the class price include room and board?

Unfortunately no. We do not offer accommodations but are more than happy to answer any questions you have about finding accommodations, proximity to the school, travel, etc…Whatever we can do to help you with your visit to Cape Breton we’re happy to do so.

Reach out with any questions, comments or concerns.
Do you accept International students?

Yes indeed! We’ve had students from Italy, England, Hong Kong, New Zealand and the USA to name a few. We suggest that all International students visit the www.Canada.ca website to find out details about visiting and studying in Canada for extended periods of time.
Do I need any prior experience to attend classes and courses?

No. We don’t require students to have prior experience. We welcome new students and beginners to our school all of the time. We enjoy seeing the evolution of students as they learn and practice the art of building furniture and cabinets using only hand tools.
What are the class sizes?

We currently keep all of our classes small with a maximum of 5 students. That allows for additional work space and more importantly, gives you valuable one on one time with your Instructor.
What is the average age and professions of your students?

We’ve welcomed men and women from all walks of life, from 18 to 80 years old and everything in between. Each week we seem to have engineers and architects, artists and professionals attending our classes. We get a lot of professionals who work online and are in need of a break away from their screens as well as young people just getting started in their careers. Having a wide range of diverse people at the school makes for a well balanced atmosphere.
