Before leaving the UK in 2005, Kate was responsible for the setting up of a training facility for the London Borough of Bromley to train individuals to NVQ standards. Each refurbishment led to other requirements from customers, and she learned a lot in a very short amount of time.

Kate is competent in tiling, plumbing, carpentry, hanging doors, skirting, architrave, stud walls and laying bricks. Her skills have led to managing bigger projects and more responsibilities. Kate has worked in London, Paris and Mallorca on very high-end refurbishments. She has a good knowledge of written and spoken Spanish.  

After returning from Mallorca, where she lived for 10 years, Kate decided to go into teaching because she wanted to share her knowledge. Kate has a lot of experience in assessing learners' work and training the tutors to assess correctly as required by the awarding body.
