Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @niedra11. It's fabulous to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about drill training.

Bunnings doesn’t currently run in-store training sessions specifically for using drill drivers, but this community is a great place to get the guidance you need. 

It’s always a good idea to practise on some scrap timber to get a feel for drilling and screwing—especially learning how much pressure to apply and how to avoid stripping screws or splitting timber. It can feel a bit tricky at first, but with a bit of patience and repetition, it will start to feel natural.

If you have any questions as you get started, don’t hesitate to ask. Our community members are always happy to help. In the meantime, you might find these articles helpful: How to drive screws with a drill, How to use power drills and How to use a drill/driver.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
