Overview
Furniture Restoration Diploma is a Level 3 Advanced programme designed for learners who want to develop high-level practical skills in restoring, conserving, and professionally presenting furniture from different historical periods. This course blends traditional craftsmanship with modern restoration standards, enabling learners to work confidently with both antique and contemporary pieces.
Learners gain advanced technical skills in furniture repair, including joinery, structural restoration, wood carving, inlay work, and decorative finishes. The course develops precision and craftsmanship through detailed surface finishing techniques such as French polishing, shellac application, veneer repair, and specialist finishes. These skills allow learners to restore furniture while respecting the original materials, structure, and character of each piece.
Historical knowledge plays a central role in the programme. Learners explore furniture styles, restoration ethics, and conservation guidelines, developing the ability to make informed decisions when working on heritage and antique furniture. Case studies of notable restoration projects support a deeper understanding of professional standards and ethical practice.
Upholstery and soft furnishings are also covered at an advanced level. Learners develop skills in restoring traditional and modern upholstery, working with springs, padding, fabrics, and finishes to produce high-quality results that meet professional expectations.
Professional development is embedded throughout the course. Learners gain practical insight into setting up a furniture restoration business, pricing work accurately, managing clients, and building a professional portfolio. A dedicated practical workshop and research project allow learners to apply their skills in real restoration scenarios while developing research, documentation, and presentation abilities.
Upon successful completion, learners will receive a free course completion certificate. For those seeking enhanced professional recognition, multiple premium certificate and transcript options are available to purchase. Learners also benefit from 5-star rated support available 24/7 through email, ensuring expert guidance throughout their learning journey.
This course is ideal for aspiring furniture restorers, craftspeople, heritage professionals, and creative practitioners seeking advanced restoration skills. It also suits individuals aiming to work with antiques, historic furniture, or those planning to establish or expand a professional furniture restoration practice.
No formal qualification is required, though basic woodworking or furniture repair experience is beneficial. Learners should have good attention to detail, manual dexterity, and an interest in traditional craftsmanship, conservation, and ethical restoration practices.
