Accommodation and Living
Our intensive course, covering skills from practical furniture
making to design and commercial skills, is the equivalent of at
least three years at college. Our syllabus is designed to be more
effective than other furniture making courses in both the UK and
internationally.
This approach allows us to equip students for a future in
furniture making in only 36 weeks (including Christmas and
Easter breaks).
Course Fees
The cost of accommodation is approximately £4,500 (depending
on the type of accommodation). The Chippendale School is a
well known part of the local community and we have a range of
approved accommodation which we can put you in touch with.
Why an intensive course makes more sense
financially?
Evidence of your ability to cover course fees and living expenses
is naturally a pre-requisite of enrolment.
The course fee of £17,950 covers:
• All tuition
• The use of hand and machine tools
• All materials (within reason)
• Entrance fees to museums and private houses
(a) Student Bursaries
The Chippendale School will consider written applications for
one of our Student Bursaries which are limited in number and
allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Please contact us for
further information.
(b) Professional Career and Development Loans
The Chippendale School is approved for Professional Career &
Development Loans (Registration No 4991). PCDLs are
administered by Barclays Bank and the Co-Operative Bank.
Course Payment Schedule
A deposit of £3,000, payable on enrolment, secures a place on
the course. The balance of the tuition fees of £14,950 is payable
one month before the start of the course. This balance may be
reduced by an Earlybird discount, if you register early (see
website for details).
Tools and Equipment
The Chippendale School provides for your use on the course
most of the tools you will need to become proficient in
woodworking and furniture making. The only tools that a
student is required to purchase (supplied by the School) are a
set of Pfeil carving chisels (approx £200) and a robust
personal dust mask (approx £250).
We’ve designed the course to provide you with the best value
possible. For those changing career, a 3-year course is often
unaffordable (due to loss of earnings and the need to cover living
expenses over three years). That's why our furniture course is
designed to provide you with the same furniture design and
woodworking skill-set in just 9 months (with about 30% more
practical bench time) compared to longer 3 year courses.
When taking into account loss of earnings* while attending as a
student, and the number of hours** spent actually working at the
bench on this intensive course, we are confident that our course
fee represents excellent value for money, even when compared
with highly-subsidised government training courses. At our
School you spend 24 hours each week under supervision and a
further optional 24 hours each week unsupervised.
Assumptions:
* Average annual UK wage = £26,500: potential loss of earnings over
two additional years = £53,000.
** Practical bench time on our intensive course = up to 1,440 hours
over 30 weeks.
Practical bench time at typical government training centre = 900 hours
over 3 years.
If you are from overseas, you will be pleased to hear that the School has Highly
Trusted Sponsor status with the UK Borders Agency (Tier 4 Register of
Sponsors Licence no. 9K4C1UF57). It is also accredited by Education Scotland.
The Chippendale School is a Scottish Qualifications Authority
approved centre (No 3008002).
