I’ve had an amazing experience with NowSkills throughout my journey to secure a Digital Marketing apprenticeship, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with the support I received!
From day one, the team has been professional, encouraging, and committed to helping me find the right opportunity! But I have to give a special shoutout to Dionne Hazelwood. Dionne has been absolutely wonderful! She has been incredibly friendly, understanding, and supportive at every stage of the process. Her positive attitude and genuine care made such a difference and truly helped boost my confidence.
Dionne took the time to listen, guide, and reassure me, making the entire experience feel personal and tailored to me. It’s clear she loves what she does, and her passion for helping others shines through.
Thanks to NowSkills (and especially Dionne), I’m now on the path to an exciting career in Digital Marketing, and I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done. I highly recommend NowSkills to anyone looking for an apprenticeship!!!

Abysmal support, Nowskills thought it was acceptable to give me multiple false start dates, asking me to leave my job and be unemployed for an undefined period so as to start the onboarding process leaving me without an income.
When I justifiably raised concerns about multiple start dates, sacrificing my income, not having a location for the placement, lack of communication or even meeting my employer I was told to suck it up. I was brushed off, ignored and and had to chase for unsatisfactory and incomplete replies.
Additionally the Nowskills employee who was working on my placement was fired due to incompetence and management didn't think to assign that case until chased up for updates meaning it was left in limbo.
Eventually I stopped hearing from "Nowskills" as they had decided to bury my case instead of addressing my concerns let alone taking any accountability or even replying.
Lastly Nowskills offers a £30 amazon gift card to potential apprentices under the conditions of:
Leaving a positive review within a time limit that starts after the sign up but before any onboarding process with placements

NowSkills has been so helpful in finding me an apprenticeship - the process has been so fast, and easy. Tony’s been really supportive and I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience!

A positive experience with the company, quite a quick process with sorting an apprenticeship with a company and I now have an apprenticeship after just under 2 months of applying through Now skills. Dionne was a huge help, very friendly and eager for me to do well.

Had a great experience with NowSkills. My tutor, Christo Baby, was amazing - really supportive, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He made the whole apprenticeship smooth and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend NowSkills.

Tony Scargill and Peter Knowles were extremely helpful and friendly and secured me an apprenticeship within 3 weeks of me first applying. I’m extremely satisfied with my whole experience. I would definitely recommend.

I've just completed a Network Engineer apprenticeship with Now Skills and I have nothing but praise. My tutors Christo and Usman were very supportive throughout the course and helped me manage my apprenticeship as well as my day-to-day job. I would highly recommend choosing NowSkills if you are looking for apprenticeship opportunities.

Now skills has made searching for a job/apprenticeship 1000x easier than if I was to apply by myself. Both Sebastian and Katie have been massive help in getting me working properly and at a trusted and secure job.

Reply from NowSkills Limited
Sebastian was great help in finding me a job. He was so positive and always kept me informed with any upcoming opportunities. He was so helpful answering any questions I had and calling me on the day of the interview really helped me calm my nerves. Im so excited to start my NowSkills journey.

Amazing company for helping people find work. Sebastian Fitzharris did a great job finding me an interview and securing the job within 2 weeks 🙌👍

I don't recommend anyone to sign up to Nowskills, as the employees are not what the reviews say. The reviews are fake, robotic, forced, and bribed by their tutor to give exactly 5 stars way too consistently. And if the 5 stars were true—which is difficult to digest in my perspective—I wouldn't have had the unprofessional behaviour I had experienced, and this consistently gets worse once you sign up.
I've gotten misled, treated rude and unfairly by a person named Kevin Worsley, the Recruitment Executive, who is incompetent and thinks he's above the average person. Being a guy that sits and listens to the bare minimum to the opposite person, he doesn't care to guide people and instead makes them feel worse, because his own life doesn't satisfy him. He then gave me false hope for an apprenticeship I wasn't qualified to have. I wished he'd just bluntly told me I wasn't qualified, rather than wasting my time for 3 days filling out a form, making a video, and then getting called the next day to make improvements to both my form and video.
It felt so unnecessary for an apprenticeship I wasn't qualified to have. Now, when Kevin told me to improve my video, I don't know if he was either dumb or blind, but he classed a plain sweater to be a hoodie as his "main point" of redoing the video again. So I complained and wrote an email of his behaviour and approach towards me, and a person called Daniel Wells acknowledged the issue, gave no apology for Kevin's rudeness and misconduct, and gave no indication that he was actually bothered.
I honestly thought maybe Kevin was horrible, and maybe this person that acknowledges my issue would be more better, supportive, and friendly—as your robotic fake reviews say—but no, they were both useless as each other, as it feels like he just overlooked the issue.
I just simply wanted some acknowledgement of my issue and an apology from Kevin. I don't want or accept an apology from anyone on his behalf. I understand if that's difficult for Kevin to apologise, seeing as he's egotistical and prideful in his position, but that's all I wanted.
I tried solving the issue without having to post a negative review, but this is the only option they left me with. I'm honestly glad I didn't get accepted, because if this is how they handled apprentices, the average person wouldn't stand a chance.
EDIT:
Clearing of what you have responded to me, that I didn't answer your call "after a week of trying to get a hold of you." I rejected your call only once throughout the process at that time because you called at an inconvenient time. Kevin then told me in a voicemail and email to call back once I was available. I then, immediately after I was available, called back and you didn't respond. I emailed Kevin on the very day to call me back, and on the very email he had told me that I missed a call, and still no response.
Kevin then reached out to me the next week, talking very fast and gave no reassurance if I am ok, and clearly knowing I was nervous, he never bothered to slow down. It surprises me that they keep staff as inconsiderate like this. The call ended. I then emailed if there was any important information I had missed from the conversation, seen as he was talking so fast, and again no response. So don't try and reverse the blame and fault on to me, that I didn't try, and that you claimed to repeatedly contact me to appear innocent to the public, unfortunately you people or trustpilot don't allow to add pictures and evidence but it's all on the Google review i have added on because I have kept every piece of evidence to proof how false and fake this company is.

I had an amazing experience applying for an apprenticeship through Nowskills. The process was incredibly smooth, largely thanks to Sebastian Fitzharris, who managed to secure several interviews for me in just a week! What impressed me most was the quality of support and preparation I received. Nowskills provided invaluable tips and tricks that boosted my confidence and interview skills. It felt like they were genuinely invested in my success. I landed an apprenticeship with a fantastic local company almost immediately. If you're serious about starting your career with an apprenticeship, I can't recommend Nowskills enough. Their dedication and expertise truly set them apart!

A huge special thanks to your amazing staff including: Katie who was lovely to speak to and was always keeping me in the loop on how my application was doing, Dionne who was so bright and bubbly and helped me land my first interview and to Sebastian who helped me find my soon to be job, he definitely wastes no time whatsoever and really helped me believe in myself and improve my self confidence. I owe you guys, i can’t thank you enough.

I'd like to thank NowSkills for helping me to finally land my first IT apprenticeship! I'd also like to sincerely thank Dionne Hazelwood for her outstanding support during my journey - Dionne has been so friendly, and has regularly kept me in the loop with any changes with my application. Outstanding dedication and service. I'd be happy to recommend NowSkills to anyone.

Reply from NowSkills Limited
I originally registered with Now Skills on the 27th of August, within a week they had secured me 2 interviews and by the 8th of September I have a job secured with a selected start date. I dealt with Dionne and Sebastian specifically and they were both amazing, I would definitely recommend the company as a whole!

Nowskills were incredible at helping me find an apprenticeship. Ben Cooke was very tenacious about finding me opportunities, and positive about my skills and experience which helped me be confident for my interview.

I’ve just completed my Level 4 Data Analyst apprenticeship with NowSkills with a Distinction - and I couldn’t be prouder! Huge thanks to my tutor, Gus, who believed in me from the start and supported me throughout.
I started the course already working in a busy analyst role, wanting to upskill and gain formal certification. NowSkills gave me the flexibility to balance work and study—even through job changes and hectic periods.
I’ve developed strong technical and presentation skills, and grown in confidence and communication too. I've learnt so much and love this line of work even more now!
Gus strikes a brilliant balance - professional, encouraging, and technically sharp. He encourages independent learning while offering the guidance needed to grow, as well as being aware of my other job demands. That’s exactly what makes a great tutor in my opinion. I’d recommend NowSkills and Gus to anyone looking to develop professionally and personally. Thank you so much!

Struggled looking for jobs for literal months. Went through with NowSkills and got an apprenticeship after just one month. Genuinely couldn't recommend them more, Katie and Sebastian I owe you so much. Thank you!

NowSkills has been amazing in helping me secure a role for my multi-channel marketing apprenticeship. I want to give a special mention to Dionne Hazlewood, who has been my point of contact through this whole process, she has been so dedicated and determined to get me a role and after unforseen circumstances in my first placement it only took her 2 days to find me a new role when normally it can take up to 3 months. This company and Dionne have been so supportive to me and still are as I continue on through my apprenticeship I can not recommend them enough!
