Training was very good and informative

Training was very good and informative. Mark the tutor was excellent he is got the field knowledge and he is a very good lecturer that fully explains every part in details and the practical section in the
room was good.
After our 6 weeks hands on and in-class training the recruiting team,James was very helpful to help me secure a job. I have been given a 3 month probation period which am positive they will keep me on.

Really good instructors with insightful knowledge of the skills they teach and the industries they apply to, upon leaving the recruitment team were great at taking into account what I needed and wanted from future work and found me a job with a few weeks of leaving the centre.

Definitely recommend if your looking for the support and knowledge needed to get into the industry.

Paid £5,700 Zero result after 2 years

I paid for the gas training course, which I paid £5,700 , after 8 weeks of training I was supposed to get a mentor, but 2 years had passed, still no mentor, I had to take the company to small claims county court, which I only got £1,100.00 back , this company is A Fraud right from the outset, I wish I had read the reviews 1st . At least I have saved my friends son going to this company for the Electrican Course, Be aware stay away from this fraudulent company, who’s only mission is to take your money and then you are at their mercy, please

Just say they are 100%fraud

Just say they are 100%fraud
Just say they are 100% fraud
I want to explain how they done fraud with I have been booked my NVQ L3 course in feb 2021 for six weeks course and I paid £4000 witch one right now £9,000 after 3 weeks they said your course is completed and then I ask them for my certificate they said it’s taking couple of months then I contact them again they refused me to saying Government change roles it is not valid anymore or give £5000 more
And also when I searched online about this course I found that I need to complete only 18th addition which one cost only £200 and then you need to apply job online and after getting gob experience you can book you exam NVQ L3 about for £1000 then your course will be completed
I
And if you go option skills they will change you £9000 and then tell you same thing come back after two years job experience
