How the Xena Wood Warrior Course Works....

We’ve structured the course in a cyclical format, ensuring continuity and depth in learning. We spend 2 weeks on each topic & each topic repeats in the same order every 12 weeks. You’re not restricted to starting only at the beginning of a new 12-week block. Instead, you can join at the start of any topic, at any point in the cycle, as long as there’s availability in the class. This allows you to begin with any topic and progress through all six over the course of the cycle.

The cost is $800 including GST, timber & materials

Can you imagine how good it would feel to be able to easily cut a piece of wood to the exact size you want? Cut a groove in the bottom of a box, know what drill and fixing to use on that project at home? All these activities and so much more will be open to you after you complete this course. In fact even before you finish – your confidence with power tools will be growing along the way!

You deserve this feeling! Come & BUILD YOURSELF at Two Sheds.
