How it Works
over 4,000 DIYers and counting
What's it actually costing you to not know this? The average contractor quote for a backsplash is $800–$2,500. For flooring, $3,000–$8,000. For a bathroom renovation, $10,000–$20,000. Most of that is labour — the kind of skilled work that, once someone shows you how, you can do yourself. Our classes cost a fraction of a single contractor visit. The skills stay with you forever.
Another incredible class. Taps, Toilets & Troubleshooting. I’m now confident to do my own repairs and save money on plumber fees. Came home right after the class and successfully solved the leak in my toilet and a drippy tap. DIY Training Center, I so appreciate what you do. Can’t wait for my next class!

DIY Training Center?
Already tried it yourself and it didn't go as planned? You're not alone. More than half of DIYers say they've wasted money on a project that went wrong. The problem was never capability - it was never having someone in the room to catch the mistake before it became an expensive one. That's exactly what our instructors do. They've seen every mistake. They'll make sure you don't make it on your own walls.
I did the two day electrical course with Dennis, a professional electrician. We went through so many great things, hands on, and even had discussions about my specific home jobs that could not have been more helpful, definitely coming back for the other courses!

Our classes are built around hands-on experience - not just watching demonstrations. You’ll use real tools and materials as you learn, gaining the confidence and muscle memory to tackle projects at home.
What Our Students Are Saying
"We took the flooring and tiling courses through this DIY Center. I recommend the courses. Much more knowledgeable than watching utube videos. We will be saving lots on doing our own basement renos. Thanks again!"
- Teresa Sand Calgary, AB
"Excellent experience learning at the DIY Centre. I did a ladies 3 day Kickstarter course. Teachers were all very knowledgeable who had years of industry experience. I liked the hands on learning and the variety in the courses.
Came out of the course very informed!
Would recommend to anyone."
- Shubhra Arya Calgary, AB
"I had courses in puttying with Mr. Bryan and in installing tiles on the floor with Mr. Dave. Very good teachers who give the right advice and really try to help the students. I am very grateful to everyone for the lessons that really made my work easier."
- Daniel Gryn Calgary, AB
"My wife and I took the casings and baseboards course and thought it was great. Good hands-on practice in three hours and a couple of great pro tips for cutting and finishing tips to really do it well. Worthwhile course and our instructor was very friendly and had great advice."
- Adam Kilburn Edmonton, AB
"I recently took a shelving 2 days class and now I feel confident to tackle my pending DIY projects at home. Ashton was an amazing instructor. He explained everything in detail and in small steps, answered all my questions, and also suggested many ideas, tips and tricks. I look forward to attend more classes. ????????"
- Rupinder Kaur Edmonton, AB
"Just completed the mudding and taping course after completing the Ladies 3 day renovation kickstarter in July. Incredible instructors, lots of hands on experience. I would recommend any of their courses to boost your DIY confidence."
- Brenda Wilson Edmonton, AB
"I took introduction to tiling so I could add a backsplash to my kitchen. I had a quote for the work and was thrilled to find that I was able to do it myself at a lower cost, even taking the cost of the course and the purchase of tools into account. The professionalism and knowledge of the instructor, plus his willingness to adapt the instruction to my specific project made the course even better. So glad I found the DIY training Center!"
- Shelley Dureau Edmonton, AB
"Colin even stayed past the end of the class to ensure everyone got their questions answered. The hands-on part was a key component as well, as many people had never used power tools before, and the overall confidence level was SO much higher by the end! I'd definitely take another class here."
- Tamara Araujo Calgary, AB
"This course has been a real confidence booster. I’m no longer waiting around for someone else to fix things, and I’m saving money in the process. Truly a great experience. I am looking forward to take more classes and become more handy in renovating my place. Thank you DIY training Center!!!"
- Manasa Challa, Greater Vancouver, BC
"Tim was a great instructor. For an introductory level class, we got to try hands-on some of the most common power tools, which was exactly what I was hoping for. Class size was small (6 ladies) which was perfect. Would definitely take another class with Tim."
- Meo Heo Calgary, AB
"9am on a Sunday morning..I was already excited to be taking the course: Home Maintenance. My BFF and I are now able to KICK some toilet changing, tap and ptrap stinkin', hole in the wall fix in', tv mounting, tile grouting, picture and bathroom accessory hanging, door sticking' and tool slingin' BUTT! Thank you for a super day Al! We definitely will be back to learn more!"

You told yourself this weekend was the weekend. You watched the videos. You drove to the store but left empty-handed because you weren't sure which product was right.
You're not stuck because you're not capable. You're stuck because nobody has ever put the right tool in your hand and walked you through it—step by step, in real time, on a real project.
That's exactly what we do.

You should be able to do this in your own home. And you can. You just need someone to actually show you — not a video of someone else's house, not a forum thread that assumes you already know the basics, not a contractor who'd rather just do it for you. One day with an expert beside you will get you further than six months of figuring it out alone. That's not a promise. That's what our students tell us every single week.
