How SkillNest Works

Whether you're a learner or a host, getting started is simple. Here's how our community connects, builds skills, and shares tools — all in three easy steps.

Friendly interaction between a learner and host in a workshop, showing collaboration and mentorship
1

Find a Host or Workshop Near You

Search by skill, tool, or location.

See ratings, availability, and what hosts can teach.

Book short sessions, one-on-one lessons, or group workshops.

Example:

Want to learn woodworking? Find a local garage with a table saw and a friendly host who can guide you.

Hands-On Guidance Every Step of the Way

Learners use tools under supervision or join a lesson.

Sessions are flexible: one hour, half-day, or full projects.

Hosts provide tips, mentorship, and safety guidance.

Example:

Fix your car brakes or 3D print a prototype — get hands-on experience without buying expensive equipment.

3

Give Back and Grow Your Workshop

Hosts share tools and knowledge with the community.

Earn income, workshop credits, or just the joy of teaching.

Build connections, grow your space, and help future makers.

Example:

Turn your idle garage into a monthly car repair workshop and meet awesome people while earning extra.
