I've recently completed the three-day 3D printer course.
From unboxing, throughout the build, and how to use, the staff are brilliant (and extremely patient) at explaining every step.
I had absolutely no experience with 3D printing, but now have my own machine, and the knowledge to start creating my own models, tools and anything else my kids mither me for.
Highly recommended for anybody interested in 3D printing. The people in the course were highly diverse: young and old, experienced and complete novices, so don't let age or current skill level put you off.

Excellent training provided. Dean and Adam were very knowledgable and made learning interesting and fun.
We spent the first day of training assembling the parts of the 3D printer that was included in the course. Second day was used to learn and practice 3D printing which was invaluable practice. Me and my colleague learnt loads of useful information which will help us deliver 3D printing to our engineering students at KS4.

I took part in the 3 day fully funded course and enjoyed it very much. I learnt how to build and use a 3D printer, thanks to the helpful (and very patient! ) teachers/technicians . I can’t wait to play with my new printer and figure out ways I can incorporate it into my textile practice! Thank you 3D360!

I can honestly say this place is brilliant and so are the staff.
I started by going in one day and simply enquiring about what to buy and the next day I had applied for their 3-day fully-funded training course.
Today I finished the course and without a doubt it's one of the best training courses I've done. Daryll was a top-star tutor and teacher. Fully hands on with how to build the printer, print models and also troubleshoot anything that breaks - even better he's been doing it for a while so you can tell he has a REAL passion for 3D printing and you see this in the way he teaches.
It's ultimately refreshing to see a tutor who's passionate about the subject and not just reading from a powerpoint without having a clue.
Having dinner included is just the added benefit along with given free-reign on what you'd like to print to practise slicing and getting used to your printer with no limit to fillament used.
Many people go out and buy a printer but will fail and sell the next day - here they assist you getting over that fear and I highly reccomend doing the training, coming from someone who'd consider themselves as technically advanced.
And yes, it's 100% real! You get a FREE Ender 3 printer to take home, brand-new from the box - it's wicked!
To 3D360:
Please pass on my appreciation and thanks to Daryll.

Recently attended a course here on 3D Printer maintenance, use and CAD design. I had minimal knowledge of CAD, and almost no experience of using 3D printers but I came away from the course with total confidence in being able to implementing the things I had learned into my job.
The staff were brilliant, so knowledgeable and completely put me at ease with being a novice in 3D. They were more than happy to help with my (many) questions, and genuinely wanted to help everyone learn the skills. A big thanks to Lewis and Rebecca, and the other guys from the first part of the course (sorry can't remember their names).
Also came away with a 3D printer which I can't wait to start using.
Would 100% recommend this course and this company to anyone!

Such a fantastic opportunity to build a printer and learn about 3D printing, really patient and friendly trainers who made this learning curve fun! No questions were deemed too silly to ask, approachable staff on hand throughout. The 3-day course is a fab intro to 3D printing, didn’t want it to end - but luckily the free printer you get to take away, means I can continue this journey and see how we can utilise this tech at work! Would recommend anyone signing up for this course if you’re able to go (access info - the training room is up 2 flights of stairs).
Thanks 3D 360!

They offer a brilliant and informative course, helped me to go from a complete beginner to understanding a lot more about 3D printers and how to use them. A really good free course to add to your CV and gain not many people have. Really friendly staff, with a lot of expertise in their field, so any questions I had we answered really well. Would definitely recommend these guys!!

Took part in the 5 day 3D printer and CAD course, would highly recommend!! The course leaders are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, it made me excited to come in and learn every day. And you get a free printer and other useful tools, sounds unbelievable but it was easy :)

When I signed up to do this course I had no idea how many ways I would be able to use 3D printing in my work, I basically thought 'Free course, free printer, what's the harm?'
Well, the free aspect has by no means been the best part of doing this course. Immediately after finishing I was able to put into practice so much that has been beneficial to me in my workshop - I am a woodworker by trade. Workshop jigs, custom handles, measuring devices - the opportunities at this point seem limitless.
3D360 run an extremely good course. Their teaching style is relaxed yet thorough, they take time with you if you need and are extremely encouraging. I cannot recommend this course too highly.

I attended a free and completely funded 3D printer & CAD course at 3D360 were i learnt how to build my own 3D Printer from scratch, how to operate and how to print correctly. At the end of the course i got to keep the printer i built, with no charge. I also learnt the basics of how to operate CAD which has led me to print my own designs and even download cool designs made by more skilled CAD users. The staff are very friendly and helpful and i would recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in 3D printing and computer design.

I sourced this course for others within a school setting in mind. I personally attended for my own personal experience and was delighted with the quality of the course. I was more than well catered for as an absolute novice and as advertised I upskilled my understanding of 3D Printing ( I had absolutely none prior) and received a free printer which I have have set up and am more than capable of using. This was the same for the CAD training in which I gained valuable understanding without any prior knowledge. Those with more experience within this field were not held back by those of us without and all was delivered in a warm and welcoming environment. I would strongly recommend this course if you are wanting to upscale your creative skills or expand your 3d Printing capabilities.

At first I thought this offer was too good to be true! But it's not! I attended the two day course where I learned to build a 3D printer on the first day and then, on the second day, I learned how to operate it. Then, as if that wasn't good enough, I got to take my printer home and keep it forever!!!! I really wasn't expecting to enjoy the experience as much as I did, having never done anything like this before. But, the whole experience was fantastic and I am now loving having this extra string to my creative bow in my role as a freelance artist and art teacher. I highly recommend 3D 360. Not only are their courses amazing, they are also lovely people who can't do enough to help, pre and post course. Get yourself signed up! You won't regret it!

What a great set up this is. Really clued up staff, with enthusiasm that deserves commendation. Don't be worried about asking for help as they will gladly do what they can to get you up and running. I found it hard to believe the fully funded 3D print course was free to me, but hey presto there is now a self built 3D printer in my home that I know how to use.......and it cost me nothing other than my time. Get on it!

Went on the free 3 day course at Leigh and was amazed by how much they taught me and even got a free 3d printer which the Trainees The Hamlet absolutely love.
Thank you so much

I did the 3 day course back at the start of the year and it had been invaluable. I enjoyed the course and team so much, I have now joined the 3D 360 Team.
