Boat Building Academy Ltd

Based on Monmouth Beach in Lyme Regis, the Boat Building Academy trains people of any age (over eighteen) to build, maintain and restore boats. The Academy's courses are all highly practical; a 38-week, full time Boat Building course which includes a City and Guilds Level 3 qualification, a 12 week, full-time Woodworking Skills course incorporating furniture design and making, and a programme of short courses, running from between two to five days which include Basic Woodworking, Wooden Boat Restoration, Traditional and Modern Wooden Boat Building, Sail Making, Rope Work and Renovation and Finishing courses. Our students develop a high degree of practical competence and confidence that provides them with both the skills and the underpinning knowledge to work both with their own boats and in the marine industry.
