International Client Testimonials

"Had superb training for 3D, 2D and family casting. Really glad I chose Precious Memories than any other training institutions. Very hands on meant I could learn the technique and could practice on some amazing baby clients. Yes, I travelled overseas from India but by the end of training I feel that all the efforts involved were worth it. Glenda is an amazing person and a perfect teacher. Loved being trained from her. Very excited to start something of my own soon and make my teacher glad by my work."

I came from Germany to do a 1 week training workshop with Glenda. It was such a great experience I learnt 3D Castings including Family ones, 2D Impressions and Silver Jewellery. It was amazing and exhausting but well worth the travel! I have learned alot.

It was a pleasure meeting you too and for the warm welcome. It was a great, full oexciting new things to learn instead of playing around with numbers. You are a professional and care about your work! I will definitely be back for more

What do Precious Memories offer?

This memory making company offers a large variety of casts. These include luxury materials, solid bronze, lead crystal glass and hallmarked sterling silver. When you attend the training workshop you will be trained to create casts in plaster. The plaster casts can then be sent to Glenda in Poole and created in to a luxury product for your client. In addition, being part of this process is quite unique. It means that you will have the edge to your competitors from the start.

Does Precious Memories offer Casting Kits?

The business vision remains well and truly focussed. Recently, there has been a shift with some companies offering 3D casting but also the DIY kits. Precious Memories firmly believe this sends out a very mixed message. The keepsake compnay does not sell the kits and has no intention of doing so. It will continue to offer high quality products matched with a high quality service.

Is Group Training for a 3D Casting Course possible?

Other companies also focus on group training. Glenda only offers one-to-one training. This is to ensure that you make full use of your time on the training course. Moreover, you feel relaxed and the course will go at a pace that suits you.

A wealth of knowledge, imparted in a lovely, friendly way. I travelled down to meet Glenda for my two day, 3D casting training workshop without really knowing what to expect, she welcomed me into her home, allowed me to meet her beautiful family and taught me everything I needed to know about 3D casting. She made me feel confident and proud of the work I was creating. She also give me excellent hints and tips for my new business venture based on her own errors and experiences which I found extremely beneficial and priceless. I can't thank her enough for her support then and now. A year, later I returned to Glenda to attend the 2D workshop, so I could offer my clients a variety of keepsakes and the training was just as good - thank you.

I travelled from Manchester to complete a 2d and 3d casting course and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in doing the courses. I was nervous at first but Glenda was lovely and put me at ease straight away. The course content was fantastic, you just don't get that level of knowledge and hands on experience by doing an online course. Glenda is very open and approachable, if there's anything you're unsure of just ask and she'll go over it with you again. The kits are great and give you everything you need to get going straight away. Afterwards, Glenda is only on the end of a phone or an email away if you have any questions. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to go into this line of work. Thank you Glenda for all your help and your wonderful teaching!

Trained with Glenda back in October last year, extremely helpful and made me feel so welcome. covered everything that I asked and have now set up ready to go myself! so although I was extremely nervous she made me feel so at ease. Highly highly recommend

I travelled all day and arrived in Poole 9pm. The following morning I was so nervous meeting Glenda, even though we had lots of conversations beforehand. I needn’t have worried I was met with a friendly warm smile that put me at ease. It sounds weird being told I want you to make mistakes (not hard on my part lol) but I now understand .... Online doesn’t show you those parts. I do best with hands-on show me. For me this course was exactly what I needed. My first two days were 3D Casting Training. The third day was 2D Impressions. I got to meet such a lot of adorable babies. Day four was the half day family casting workshop. It was another long journey home and I fell into bed that night exhausted. Sunday I spent with my granddaughter who took so much interest in the casts I got to bring home. Anyone thinking about this my words would be the journey was worth the outcome.

Common Question Asked

These are some of the most common questions asked.

Do you offer training online?

In short, no. Call me old fashioned, but would you read a book to learn how to ride a bike? That is my view on learning the art of 3D Casting too! You need to be face to face with the parent and baby. The hands on experience of using and understanding the materials too. Nonethless, the first impression you create with a client is key and you can’t learn how to do this online.

Which course is best for me?

I understand that everyone who enquires has a budget in mind and not everyone can afford to stay over. The Casting Courses are on offer give everyone the chance to attend one of my training courses. One day you will cover everything you need to run your own business. This will be at a fast pace. The Two Day course does offer you more opportunity to meet a variety of models. You also get to learn how to create handclasps and Family Trees.

What else can I expect to learn?

Any course I run, I go into a huge amount of in-depth detail I have gained over the years. The do and dont’s that I have personally experienced. This is something you can’t learn online, as well as having the opportunity to cast a baby.

Glenda also covers all the key aspects associated with your business. These include the increasing impact of social media, such as Facebook and Instagram. Marketing, insurance and health and safety.

What about the suppliers?

You will also receive a suppliers list of all the materails used. This list is invaluable saving you both time and money.

When the training is over – what happens next?

Ongoing aftercare support is paramount. Students have been known to contact Glenda a year or two later after their training.

Being a WAHM

As a mum myself, I am so thankful that i have not missed out on anything with my girls. I have grown a business which now allows other parents to do exactly the same as me. Work from the comfort of your own home both here in the UK and overseas. Finding a job around a family in today’s society is not always easy. The rise of childcare costs leave many parents in a dilemma. Returning to work for some means they hardly earn anything.

What is your priority in life now?

For many who have attended training they have been looking for a lifestyle change too. Wanting time with their family but also gaining some financial independence too. This is exactly what this training course will do for you.

Gone are the days when you miss your child’s sports day at school. Send your child into school when they are feeling unwell because you are being made to feel guilty at work.

A fresh start.

Learning 3D Keepsakes is not only a new craft but a new start for you and your family. You don’t just have to take my word for it – hear what some of the people I have trained think.
