Now that Christmas and New Year are over, you’re maybe still thinking about turning your passion for woodworking into a new career.

If so, you’re not alone.  Many others use the start of the year to reassess their futures, and decide on a new and more fulfilling pathway.

The Chippendale school is one of the world’s foremost furniture design and making schools, and our 30-week professional course will give you the skills and confidence to realise your dream and work for yourself.

Each year, our professional course attracts students of all ages and backgrounds from around the world – this year from the UK, USA, Trinidad & Tobago, Italy, Ireland, Singapore, the Netherlands, Germany and New Zealand.

The News section of the website features individual student profiles from this year’s course.

It’s a learning environment that, in bringing together students from across the world, means that we can also learn and be inspired by each other.

So, if a career in fine furniture design and making is something you’ve been considering, why not see what the Chippendale school has to offer?

To make your decision a little easier, our £1,000 Early Bird discount is still available to overseas students if you register for a place before 31^st January.

Remember, we don’t expect you to have any woodworking experience, merely an ambition to work creatively and hands-on and learn the skills to be your own boss.

And if spending a year in beautiful Scotland isn’t attractive enough, we’ll also handle all your immigration and visa requirements and, before you get here, we’ll have high-quality accommodation in place.

Our student support package means that you don’t have to worry about transport, doctors and dentists.  We’ll sort out everything, leaving you to concentrate on turning your furniture design dream into reality.

We’re always happy to discuss any aspect of the school or the application process with you.  You can either email us at info@chippendale.co.uk or book a Skype call at any time to suit you from the home page of our website.

We look forward to hearing from you!
