Great Customer Service

My query was answered promptly within less than 24 hours. Where I sought clarification it was provided quickly and for my benefit in layman’s terms. I was even offered advice on how to tackle my predicament.

Fantastic customer service

I recently completed the HETAS H011 Sweep & Service course and thought it was fantastic. I called HETAS regarding a query on my application and they were very helpful. They quickly put me onto the relevant department who were more than happy to help, and again very polite and professional. I was sent some further documentation via emails regarding my application, and once sent over I was again quickly responded back with confirmation and clear instruction on what would happen next and that someone will be in touch again very soon to finalise my application.
The service I received from start to finish is very good and would recommend them the anyone who is interested in becoming HETAS registered.
