The following Members of the Register offer instruction in woodturning. Please contact the tutor of your choice directly.
The Register regards the proper and safe teaching of the craft as an important activity. It has published, in "Woodturner" Vol 2 Issue 1, a Code of Practice, covering the teaching of novices, which suggests how a student might reasonably expect to be treated in a course of instruction.
It must be pointed out that Members are not assessed by the Register with regard to their teaching abilities, so that neither the Register, nor the Worshipful Company of Turners, can give an assurance that every course offered would be satisfactory for every student, for whatever reason. A small, but increasing number of the tutors hold City & Guilds teaching qualifications.
In order to ensure that standards are maintained, the Register has prepared a
questionnaire (a downloadable .pdf copy of which can be obtained here)
to be given to students at the completion of a course, so that they may comment, in confidence, on any matter to do with their instruction that they regard as important. This scheme started in October 1997, and there have been very few adverse views expressed! If any serious dissatisfaction arose, it would be investigated and, hopefully, resolved.
