Learner reviews:

"Thanks, Kevin. Your courses are helping me a lot to take care of my guitars insightfully and now I know what I'm doing."

"I wanted to learn how to set up my own guitars, both acoustic and electric. This course was great! It provided the detailed how-to information I was desiring, made especially clear through the videos, and provided great information on the proper tools to use and have on hand! Thanks, Kevin!"

"Very good and informative I enjoyed the detailed explanations and videos."

"Pretty good fit for me,"

"Thank you for this course. There are many people who can play guitar like a champ, but there are very fewer people who know how to set up the guitar. As a guitarist, our playability depends a lot on the setup. So if you love playing, then you should know how to set it up. So again THANK YOU for this course."


Module 2, Setting Up Your Guitar, is the perfect module to take you to the next level in your journey for learning how to professionally carry out guitar repairs on your own and customer guitars.

Other Guitar Repair training courses are expensive, long and often not easily accessible. This module of the UK government approved training course would cost in excess of £250 per day - here, you can often save over 90% of the cost.

Follow step by step with videos, downloads, quizzes and tasks.  Ask questions.  

Once you’ve completed this module, you’ll be ready to confidently and accurately conduct a full four-part setup on guitars and bass for other people, and you’ll also save a fortune being able to work on your own instrument.  


This module focuses on the four main tasks that a Guitar Repair Technician would undertake with guitar setups; specifically, adjusting the truss rod, nut action, bridge action and intonation.  It also explains how to check for 'dead' notes on the guitar's fretboard, how to set the strings to preferred action and camber, and how to set up the pickups for a balanced volume. 

Essentially, this course is ideal whether you’re working in the Guitar and Music industry, following a hobby or simply maintaining your own guitar to keep it in great shape.


The Guitar Repair Technician Training Program has been a preferred choice within the Wales Employability Sector for guitar repair training, and was entered onto the Careers Wales database of approved courses in 2013.  

The problem for many, however, was access to the guitar repair workshops i.e. many people simply were unable to attend workshops  to learn how to repair electric guitars and other types due to time constraints, geographic location and transportation.  

The solution:  Finally, the Guitar Repair Technician training program is now available here through Udemy’s online learning platform for you to learn how to fix your own guitar and customer guitars in your own time, and without needing to leave home.  

 

With a 30-day money back guarantee, access any time anywhere and on any device, and a certificate of completion to show future employers or to add credibility to your technical know-how and services, there's no better time to sign up to the course.  So click on the button and I'll see you there!
