Wide range of trades with qualifications available
Able skills set up is great, the different trades on offer is wide and the range of potential qualifications from introduction to NVQ level is extremely useful. I took a week long introduction in painting and decorating and have left the course in a more positive mindset to approach wallpapering and different painting jobs at home. Mark my instructor was very knowledgable and patient. Thanks

Levels 2 and 3 Electrical Installation
Did my levels 2 and 3 electrical installation at Able Skills. All of the instructors I had were excellent. Robert did a fantastic job with level 2, keeping the more tedious parts light. John is a top bloke and he managed to get us to a high level of competency with the OSG. George was a superstar in getting us through the end of our level 2 and the entirety of level 3. I cannot stress enough how brilliant of an instructor he is, and I would gladly do any future training under him.

Really enjoyed my time at Able Skills…
Really enjoyed my time at Able Skills doing my Level 3. The course itself was good, but George Dumitrescu honestly made a massive difference to the whole experience.
He was patient, easy to learn from and never made anyone feel stupid for asking questions. If people were struggling with something, he would slow it down, explain it another way and make sure the whole class understood before moving on. That made a big difference, especially with some of the harder parts of the course.
You could tell he actually wanted everyone to pass and do well, rather than just rush through the syllabus. The atmosphere in the class was really good because of that.
Definitely one of the best tutors I’ve had and a big reason I’d recommend Able Skills to anyone thinking of doing their Level 3 there.

Absolutely amazing centre for training
Absolutely amazing centre for training. Wide selection of courses across multiple trades, led by knowledgeable, clear and concise instructors and back office staff that make the whole process easy and smooth, with nothing a problem or too much trouble. Having completed the tiling, Plastering, C&G plumbing and now half way through the gas, I cannot recommend highly enough. Such great learning environment and atmosphere

Great centre
Great centre, reasonable pricing and proper trainers. They can separate the people who have been in their trade for decades and those who are relatively new and they focus their attention to the people who need it.
