Really glad you enjoyed our Home Study option for Electrical Installation at level 2

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Amazing teacher

Thanks for Robert, Steve and Andy. They explained the Theory clearly and taught the content step by step although the Level 3 electrical installation is difficult, I am very enjoying the classes and really learn the electrical system clearly.
I would also like to thanks the admin team for the reschedule arrangement, so that I can complete the course as soon as possible.

Structured, professional, knowledgeable

The training is very structured and organised, the teachers are knowledgable and able to adapt to different learning styles (and even different cultures).

I am back for a different course, and it is the same. The trainers are patient and knowledgeable. We have our own area to work on, and we can work on our own pace.

Electrical level 3

I would like to express my sincere thanks for such a fantastic experience during the Electrical Level 3 course. Steve is an outstanding trainer, knowledgeable, supportive, and engaging, with a great sense of humour that made the learning process enjoyable.

The course itself was well-structured and delivered smoothly throughout. I genuinely enjoyed every part of it and found it both informative and rewarding.

Thank you to Able Skills for providing such a high-quality learning experience.

Oh .... thanks for the review of the course. We do try so hard with getting everyone parked but when you have around 200 hundred students in attendance plus staff - it can be tough. We do have more than ALL the other centres out there though so for this, I am grateful :)

Novice to confident carpenter

I attended a 6 week carpentry course followed by a 3 week joinery course in February and March 2026. Having little experience I was slightly anxious about the course. I needn’t have been. From the first day until the last, the three instructors, David, Kev and Paul were patient and tailored the course to the pace of each member. Their knowledge and experience of all things carpentry and joinery related is exceptional. I learned so much in such a short period of time and can take this new found confidence into the workplace. I would highly recommend Able Skills, especially the carpentry department.

Electrical Training

I’ve completed several electrical training courses with Able Skills, most recently achieving my 2391 qualification. The tutoring was excellent throughout — Trevor was especially supportive, ensuring we stayed on track with our coursework and were fully prepared for the final exam. I’m very pleased with the experience and would highly recommend Able Skills to anyone looking to advance their electrical training.

Great review of a tough course - particularly the theory aspect - We are so happy that you gained so much from it though :)

What an excellent centre!

What an excellent centre!

I initially planned to do just a week of plumbing, but ended up completing the entire 6-week handyman series, as well as the 3-week hands-on painting and decorating course, and I am now also undertaking the extended 6-week carpentry course.

Everything is very hands-on, and the amount I’ve learned each week has been remarkable. A huge thank you to all the excellent tutors, with a special thanks to Mark (painting and decorating) for his outstanding support throughout the course and for tailoring the learning to suit what I wanted to achieve, as well as to Simon and Martin (bricklaying) for their patience and making the course a lot of fun.

I’m already planning which courses to take next. From the admin team, I’d also like to thank Dan, Hannah, and Jade for always being so very helpful.

Already eager for the next course!
