Breede Centre Core Courses
Courses can be formal or informal
A formal course will be accredited and certificated after successful completion. An informal course will be a group of interested people coming together to learn from each other and share skills.
Long Courses

Eg Woodwork; Building; Needlework; Cooking.Currently there are 5 trainees attending a one year HANDYMAN course (building, plumbing, painting, electrical, woodwork).
