Recommend me a Tech / Luthier Course in NE England

I am an amateur tinkerer.
I would be interested in improving my skills with some proper training.
Does anyone know of any guitar Tech / Luthier courses in the north east of England?
Many thanks

I can't help, but I'm also interested to know if there is one too - would be a great thing to do.
Someone must know of something!

Depends what you mean by Luthier Courses. If you fancy making a whole guitar from pieces of wood (i.e Not a Kit Build), then I, @TTony, and one or two others here, would heartily recommend the "Build Your Own Guitar Courses", that Mark Bailey runs in his workshop in Culroy, which is just south of Ayr. He also has available online courses on guitar building. I've made 3 guitars in his workshop  - an Archtop, a "Les Paul", and most recently an Acoustic. Very pleased with all of them.

Guitar Weekends run a weekend guitar setup course from time to time over in Cumbria.

Thanks @ArchtopDave I don't want to build my own. I want to become more skilled at the tech side of guitar. I can do basic setups but I'd like to venture a bit further down that road ... know what proper tools to have / use for : neck relief, nut filing, fret dressing or such like.
