Stupidly at its best!
Stay away from this training provider. They are absolutely shameful. They are not real. The option-skills director is the worst from what I have ever seen so far. Please for god sake stay away. That's what I want to say from my experience. This is not personal, I am talking on behalf of more than 100 Students who have been cheated to pay £7500 and nothing in return after a couple of months.

Challenging but extremely worthwhile course
The electricians course at options skills is a challenging course however if you put your mind to it you will leave with a very valuable skill set. I was also very impressed with how quickly they managed to find me a job after, I was applying for multiple places who never got back to me but within two weeks I was already putting my skills to use because of the team they have in Birmingham.

Option Skills Purley NVQ electrical course
Option Skills has been brilliant from start to finish. My experience is based on the Purely branch and the Electrical NVQ course. From before starting the course the team was very helpful and informative in what this course provides and how it will help compared to other similar providers as it was quite daunting to choose a course provider however I was guided through the whole process ultimately deciding that this was the correct choice for myself. The Purley center has been excellent, the trainers there. Doug, Sam and centre manager Stuart have an invaluable blend of knowledge meaning one of them is always able to explain and assist with everything the course covers and more. During the course the employment team are in contact and James and Josh were brilliant for me. They have some very good contacts and they found me a few options which I ultimately decided to chose one of these options starting immediately after my course finished which for me was essential for me. I am very happy with my overall experience and would highly recommend option skills to anyone who is looking to reskill or upskill like I was.

Excellent teacher
The teacher's (Nigel) explanations are very clear and easy to understand, and then carefully teach according to the level of different students, so that everyone can easily grasp the content of the course. In the end, the school provided assistance and let me find a job.
