What They say About Us

"Awaken Hidden Skills offered me the course that I have been searching for, I have to say I was a little nervous as courses always remind me of school! This however was totally the opposite, friendly, informal, lots of fun and at the same time very professional. I came away with a full understanding of how to make a Roman Blind as we made a complete, fully functional miniature version during the course of the day, this gave me the confidence to get started on my own. Terry and Sonya made the day really enjoyable and I would definitely attend another course, I would highly recommend you give it a go! Take your friends!  Oh...The homemade cakes, fresh tea and coffee followed by a lovely lunch added a special touch to the day! Thanks Guys"!

"I attended the Roman Blind course and had a fantastic day.  By actually making a sample blind whilst being taught at the same time really helped me understand where I had gone wrong in the past.  We were able to take away pre-prepared course notes which will help when I make my own.  Also, the small numbers enabled us all to get the individual attention that we needed.  The whole day had a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  We stopped halfway for a very enjoyable lunch too and I would not hesitate to recommend it.  Thank you"!

"I would like to say a huge thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend your curtain making course. I really enjoyed the day and I gained huge satisfaction from being able to achieve something that quite frankly I never thought would be possible. Lunch was delicious! I will be recommending you to lots of my friends and family over the coming weeks and I wish you every success in your new venture".

"Just a line to thank you for a terrific roman blind course on Wednesday.  It was amazing to think that I could make a blind in one day and gain enough confidence to go off and make more on my own – which I intend to do this week.  The course is perfect in every way, but I would single out the amount of information which Terry manages to impart during the day, the materials you provide to take away, the positive and practical approach (so different from my memory of needlework lessons!), your ability to accommodate delegates of all ranges of skill and experience, and of course, the fantastic home cooked food, as particular highlights.  Apart from being so useful it was a really fun day in excellent company!  Thanks again – I have already recommended it to others and hope to return for curtain making when I have made some blinds".
