We have used the Picture Framing School in Dromore. They are also able to arrange B&B nearby if required.

The Craic is good and both Steven and Sharon-Lee have a wide range of knowledge and experience. Steven also has all of the advanced GCF qualifications. Give them a call on +4428 9269 3807. They can often be booked up well in advance so if you are looking training soon it's best to ring early.

By the way I don't get any commission, more's the pity. :(

I would second the endorsement from Birdman, for The Down School of Pictureframing - Dramore.

I did my training with Steven & Sharon-Lee, and found it very good. I also took and passed my GCF in their workshop (under an external examiner)
