They are an organised scam

They are an organised scam, they basically rent their work shop for a little while and either stall your time or tell you their company has liquidated. But expect to get any legit certificates or teaching from it. My partner put his hard earned money into this company and on a Sunday evening, they sent out a text saying they are no longer operating; with no further way of getting in touch, certificates or refund.

My name is Rohan and I am a Gas Engineer, I originally trained at Option Skills 4 years ago to do my Gas course. I have come back to Option Skills to complete Air Source Pump Training and Mark the manager, Tony and the new team are a refreshing much needed change.
I really enjoyed the course this time, very professionally lead, informative and excellent trainers. I would 100% recommend doing your Gas training at Option Skills.

Had an amazing time at option skills

Had an amazing time at option skills, tutors were very helpful as well as the team who help find placement after. Tutors would always relate what they taught us to real world experiences which have prepared me for stuff I don’t think a normal college would, 6 weeks for the amount of information is a bit tricky but with the way the tutors pass informations across, everything is made simpler and more memorable, overall a great experience and great communication, would definitely recommend
