Fibreglass course

A few year back one of the mags (which kit, kit car or pcc) did an article on a course to learn about making fibreglass parts.

So, I have a mate (not a euphemism for me, honest) who would like to learn. Can anyone either remember who ran this course or know of or have been on a course that is currently available. Looking for an introduction, wet layup, moulds making, iirc the mag article started with a shape, made a mound and then the part so whole process in a day or two.

Thanks in advance.

Don't they run a workshop at Stoneleigh? Not sure if it's a proper course though.

Many thanks everyone, starting to get a list together for him. Keep them coming, may be a useful list for future reference.

So far I/you have found -

Up north is a course for fibreglass manufacture –

http://www.ecfibreglasssupplies.co.uk/t-CoursesandWorkshops.aspx

This one is a bit more advances and more expensive

http://www.easycomposites.co.uk/#!/composites-training-courses

This one looks good, is reasonable and accredited city and guilds certificate (maritime biased)

Here is another, in Essex
