The UK’s first (and still only) dedicated LEV mentorship community www.patreon.com/levacademy – just £10 a month
This isn’t another Facebook group that goes quiet after a week. It’s where I personally mentor the next generation of proper LEV practitioners – the same way the old-school legends mentored me.
Every month you get:
- 2 brand-new, in-depth posts every week – real-world case studies, step-by-step testing walkthroughs, design fixes, report writing masterclasses, HSE red-flag updates, and the stuff you’ll never see in a BOHS manual.
- Private community chat – ask me anything, any time. I’m in there most days (usually covered in duct dust) answering questions, reviewing your reports, or debating the latest grey-area interpretation.
- Growing resource library – templates, calculators, checklists, redacted reports, photo library of fails & fixes, and every post since 2023 archived and searchable.
- A proper peer group – examiners, designers, H&S managers, workshop foremen, and newcomers, all helping each other level up.
I started the mentorship in 2023 because I kept meeting talented people who had the P-Certs but were still winging it on site – exactly where I was 15 years ago.
Since then I’ve watched members:
- Go from nervous first-time examiners to confident £400–£500/day freelancers
- Take their first paid design jobs
- Fail systems that needed failing (and win the argument with the MD)
- Land roles as in-house LEV specialists
- And, honestly, become some of the best practitioners I know
I couldn’t be prouder of what this little community has achieved.
£10 a month – less than a round of drinks – for the closest thing you’ll get to having me ride along in your van every day.
Cancel anytime, no hard feelings.

See you inside. Louise
P.S. The first post you read will probably save you an hour on your next job. The first answer I give you will probably save you a re-visit. The friendships you make will last your whole career.rials.
What others are saying
“The one-to-one mentoring has been invaluable. Louise took the time to understand my experience, knowledge gaps, and objectives, and tailored each session exactly to what I needed. The support was clear, practical, and grounded in real-world LEV experience. I genuinely feel more confident and competent in my role as a result — I can’t thank her enough for the time and commitment she put into my development.”
Graeme B
“The books and supporting resources have made a huge difference to how I approach LEV work. Everything is clearly explained, well structured, and easy to apply on site. What used to feel complicated and time-consuming is now far more straightforward. Louise has a real talent for breaking things down and making LEV easy.”
Luke W
“I left the P601 with alot of theory but no understanding of how to apply it. The mentoring really connected the dots between theory, guidance, and real-world practice. The shadowing experience brought LEV to life in a way that courses alone never could. Seeing how experience, judgement, and standards come together on site was invaluable. It helped me understand not just what to do, but why — and how to apply it confidently in practical situations.”
