Perhaps you should start one.
The whole idea of DIY is DIY.
preumably it started because people could not afford professional trades peopl, so they went to the hardware shop to get some suff to see if they could do it, hence diy.
Now i may be wrong, but i dont think you will find such a place because diy covers every trade (almost) so the coures would have to be umpteen years long (assuming at weekends only)
think about it.
you can diy most things for the home , so what would they teach?
electrical.
today how to fit a plug, next time how to wire a switch, how to wire two swithes, you get my point? where would they stop, and that is only electrical
also bear in mind you may find fitting a plug easy, some people do not have a clue.

I understand what your saying its me not making myself clear.
I am looking for short courses like into:
plumbing, change valves/Rads/basic pipe bending
electrics, changing plugs, snagging, lighting,
Brick Work,
Wood work
probably more like short courses
Ok DIY not the correct term for me to use really, its more like short intro courses into a trade. there is a local company near us that does a 5 and 10 day plumbing course its NOT a qualification but gives an intro to the trade and the confidence to do most tasks, they advertise as a career change but no course can teach a profession in 5 - 10 days I know but short courses like this would give someone like me who enjoys DIY to get hands on practice so I would not flood my own room for example. And if these courses could lead on to an NVQ or C&G then great
