"This course is flipping awesome. We're in the early stages but feeling so prepared and it's thanks to Fi and Neil's honest and well structured advice. Honestly I really don't think we'd have taken on the "old girl" (nickname for the house) without it."

…it’s the best kept secret in the industry!
Absolutely. Our students have often told us this course basically pays for itself between all of the mistakes prevention, cost saving tips and affordable alternatives we suggest for big ticket renovation purchases. But aside from that, you can’t put a price on being shown the steps it takes to renovate a property. Past students have said they got immense value for money. Especially when you consider the cost to hire a project manager, designer, or renovation consultant. It’s all here for you.
While the course is fun and engaging, it’s no gimmick. Like renovations, the course is serious when it needs to be and there is hard work required to complete the modules which will help you achieve incredible renovation results.
We will force you into making decisions and having difficult conversations ultimately to prevent headaches later down the line.
We also walk you through video tutorials such as how to budget for your renovation, and how to draw your rooms to scale – these are life long skills you’ll be developing with us.
The course is 100% self paced which means you can start it and work through the pre-recorded videos exactly when you need to. No hanging around for live calls, you can do this at your own pace around your own calendar. We discussed the possibility of running live sessions and surveyed our students. 100% of them preferred the self paced nature and felt they got the right information at the right time from the videos recorded. Live sessions would be not be particularly compatible with the phased nature of renovations or complement our course structure.
Every project starts at a different time and renovators learn as they go, preparing for a phase of their renovation and responding to the upskilling required at the time. The course is structured and designed to be used throughout the relevant phases of your renovation (which could of course span many months and years).
Yes! We talk you through the nitty gritty details in a language you can understand and point you in the direction of where to get further support should you run into issues.
We’ve been in the industry since 2013 and you can read hundreds of free blog posts that track our renovation progress. Hopefully they will help you get to know us (and provide a bit of entertainment for you!) Some were featured on Farrow & Ball, John Lewis and Howdens’ channels. We (Fi and Neil) have a great mixture of planning and design expertise that has made our renovation and our online resources so compelling. Read more about us here.
Also, don’t just take our word for it, you can read the Fifi McGee reviews and see what other people have been saying about the course for yourself. You can also visit us on Houzz.

This course contains exclusive tools, content, checklists, PDFs, and workbooks you can’t get anywhere else. You will also get access to the thriving, exclusive Reno Club community, all supporting each other’s projects right now. We’ve put many months of hard work into creating this course and like any good product, we ask for feedback and continue to improve it in order to make it even better for you. You get lifetime access from the moment you buy the course, which means you’ll receive all future updates. Our price will increase as the value of the course content increases.
The course is completely self-paced. Given all renovation projects are different and the work required for your property will be different to other people’s, it’s hard to say exactly how long it will take you to complete. With 6 modules to work through, you could make good ground on your renovation plans within 2-3 weeks. Since renovations take many months (even years), we recommend using this course and returning to modules when the various parts of your renovation call for it.
Once you’ve bought the course, you will be able to access it forever. We may make updates to the course platform but this will not affect your access to the course.
Don’t wait, enrol as soon as you can. We see so many students join us who don’t have the keys yet, which is smart! As all our students will tell you, you're going to get REALLY busy the minute you step into the property – so make use of your time now to plan as much as you can. You'll get lifetime access to the course modules too, so if your property was to fall through, you can still use what you've learned on the next place you make an offer on.
Absolutely. This course will give you a systematic way to renovate any home – whether you’re making structural changes or not.
The course content is aimed at renovations specifically, if you are instead decorating your home and don’t know where to start, then our sister program Home Design Lab would be a better fit for your project.
This online course is primarily for UK renovators, however, the process we share is universal and can be applied to your renovation no matter where you’re based. Approximately 10% of the course content will contain UK nuances and extra research will be needed for some modules. For example, where we discuss Building Regulations and Planning Permission, this is UK only, you’ll need to seek out the correct information for the country you reside in. There is no reason why you won’t get huge value from this course if you’re based internationally. We’ve had students from Belgium and the USA take this course achieving fantastic results.
Definitely. While the course content primarily focuses on building a home, the modules and exercises will still be applicable to you because you’ll be creating a home for your tenants or buyers. Putting this extra thought into your property as you renovate will give you a competitive edge on the property market. You’ll achieve fantastic results within the budget you set.
Some of our students bought the course because they are planning a kitchen extension or loft conversion, and not planning to renovate a whole house. They are getting huge value from the modules because it’s providing them with a tried & tested process to taking on a disruptive project of this sort. They’re determining their budgets, layouts, design and more, for the area they’re renovating in their properties – and they’re making cost savings with the advice we share.
We open enrolments throughout the year, make sure to get notified when we open and look out for our emails.
