Skills for Jobs Ltd Reviews 

I just had my top up course, absolutely brilliant!!! 10/10 thank you guys

I have done my second top up/refresher course with Skills for Jobs last week. As we all know it is something that needs to be done. I can recommend SFJ to anyone who needs to get through the course. Easy going, fully professional and knowledgeable. I can recommend Rob as a top end professionalist.

The venue was good and comfortable.Trainers were very friendly, professional and efficient.
Was a good experience.

Last month I sat and passed my SIA CCTV course with Skills for Jobs. Alan has obviously earned his reputation. An excellent course well presented and layed out. All questions welcome and answered. Thorough content with well structured modules in a positive environment. Fully recommend.

Excellent easy way of study and practical. I would recommend.

Thanks to Rob and Allan for making the S/O refresher course enjoyable and easy to follow would recommend this company to anybody requiring training in the security industry.

Recently did my SIA full initial course with Rob and Alan.
They were both very good and knowledgeable instructors
I found them being new to the area via the internet and dis some research and found they were the best locally
Will definitely use them for my updated in 3 yrs time great service from them both

Good training providers.
Allan and Rob did a great job during my 6 day long door supervisor course, I learnt a lot.
Definitely will be using them again in the future.

Having just completed my door supervisor refresher course with Rob Knowles and Allan price as the tutors I carnt recommend them enough for training for the security sector having had training through them before and again this time round they are brilliant and make the course enjoyable

Attended the SIA Security Guarding refresher course on 19th November. Booked online and promptly received all information needed in a concise and easy to read format. The online training was of the highest standard, especially the videos. The in person section was friendly and professionally delivered. Can't recommend highly enough.

My experience with Rob Knowls’ SIA training in Bournemouth was one of the most distressing and disheartening training experiences I have ever had. I left the course feeling humiliated, unsupported, and genuinely shocked by the way some people were treated.

Throughout the course, I witnessed behaviour from Rob that, in my opinion, created a hostile and intimidating learning environment—especially toward learners whose first language was not English. There were moments where people were spoken to in ways that felt mocking or belittling in front of the entire group. Watching adults trying their best being laughed at or treated with sarcasm was incredibly upsetting. No one who pays for a professional qualification should be made to feel ashamed simply for trying to learn.

At the same time, in my view, certain English-speaking learners received noticeably more patience, guidance, and even one-to-one support. The contrast was uncomfortable and created an uneven, unfair atmosphere that made many of us feel completely discouraged.

As a woman, I also found some of the comments directed at female learners deeply inappropriate. In my opinion, the remarks about women’s size, strength, or ability were humiliating and completely unnecessary. Instead of being encouraged, some women were made to feel judged, embarrassed, or incapable—an awful feeling, especially in a course meant to build confidence and prepare people for work in security.

Financially, the experience was equally upsetting. After paying a substantial amount of money, I expected professionalism, respect, and proper support. Instead, concerns were dismissed, people were laughed at, and when learners struggled, I felt they were openly blamed rather than helped. I later heard from other men and women in Bournemouth who described similar treatment, which made me even more frustrated that this kind of behaviour is still happening.

Based on my own experience, I personally believe that the concerns raised by multiple students are serious enough that an outside authority should look into them. I am not making any legal claims—this is simply my personal opinion—but I genuinely feel that the pattern of behaviour I witnessed was troubling enough that the police or relevant regulatory bodies should be aware of what many learners have reported experiencing.

In my view, the course was run with very little professionalism, fairness, or respect for the people paying to be there. I cannot recommend Rob Knowls’ training to anyone based on what I personally saw and went through, and I sincerely hope that no future learner has to feel the way I did.
Your sincerely

This is the 3rd time I have attended a course with Skills for Jobs. I would highly recommend using them. We had Allan and Rob taking the DS refresher and First Aid. They were very helpful, insightful and experience. I will definitely be using them again in the future.

I learnt alot and the teachers are really helpful and experienced it was a great week and I made great friends along the way. All and all I'd definitely recommend this course to people interested.

Great trainer, great people and fun atmosphere.

Considering the large amount of content that you have understand to pass this course. The way it was delivered was both engaging and in layman’s terms. Judging from talking to other people they also were very impressed with the knowledge I’ve gained from training with Skill for Jobs Ltd.

I recently completed a course with Skills for Jobs, and I can confidently say it was one of the most outstanding training experiences I've had.

Both instructors, Allan and Rob, demonstrated exceptional pedagogical ability. Their teaching style is inclusive, adaptive, and clearly geared towards getting the very best out of every student, regardless of background or learning preference. They draw on a deep understanding of not just instructional technique, but also the psychological foundations of learning — including the importance of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and the quiet, often overlooked elements that truly unlock student potential.

As an instructor myself, I’m incredibly particular about who I allow to train me — and these two absolutely knocked it out of the park. Their delivery was clear, their coaching was intuitive, and the learning environment they created was both supportive and professional.

If you're looking for training that’s engaging, effective, and delivered by people who genuinely care about your growth, I highly recommend Skills for Jobs. Allan and Rob set the standard

Completed my Security Officer Refresher course recently.
Highly recommend using this company for ongoing SIA training. It’s a thorough course, expanding vital knowledge and very professional trainers who offer their full support. The online training is very helpful and excellent communication from Rob (trainer) via email, confirming next steps for the day course.
Rob and his colleague are brilliant! 10/10 😀

Amazing skill share. Skills for Jobs, truly made it easy to learn and earn my SIA badge.
