About Us
Expert Training isn't some fancy academy. We run hobby courses. Painting. Woodworking. Photography. Cooking. You pick what interests you, show up, and we'll teach you how to actually do it. No corporate speak. No unnecessary jargon. Just real instructors who've spent years perfecting their crafts, now sharing what they know with people like you. We started because we got tired of hobbyists struggling alone or paying ridiculous prices for terrible instruction. So we built something different. Something honest.
Over time, we’ve built a reputation for reliability, quality, and clear communication. We treat each project as a partnership and aim for outcomes that last.

Petra Svobodová
Founder & Head Instructor (Pottery)
Threw clay for 16 years before teaching. Still gets messy every single day. Strong believer that pottery teaches patience better than meditation ever could.
Marcus Chen
Woodworking Instructor
Built furniture professionally for a decade. Obsessed with teaching people the proper way to use hand tools. Says power tools are fine, but hand tools teach you what's actually happening.
Elena Novotná
Photography Instructor
Shot weddings and portraits for 12 years. Burnt out on that. Now teaches people to see light differently. Believes anyone with a camera can learn composition.
Our Story
Started in 2018 when Petra Svobodová got frustrated watching friends waste money on bad pottery classes. She knew a few skilled craftspeople and asked: why not just teach people properly? First class had eight people in a rented studio near the river. Word spread. Now we run 23 courses a month across five different locations in Brno. We've taught 847 people. Some became obsessed with their hobbies. Others just found a fun way to spend their weekends. Both outcomes make us happy.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Skill Actually Matters
Your instructor knows their craft inside-out. Not just technically—they understand why things work the way they do and can explain it clearly. No faking it here.
Small Classes Work Better
We cap classes at 12 people. Smaller groups mean your instructor notices when you're struggling and can actually help. That's how real learning happens.
Honest Pricing
We charge what things cost to run properly. Not less. Not more. You know exactly what you're paying for and why.
Respect Your Time
Start on time. End on time. Lessons structured so you're not bored or overwhelmed. We get it—you have other things to do.
Our Approach
Our approach combines proven methods with modern tools. We start with discovery, align on goals, plan clearly, and execute with quality checks at every step.
