Liam has provided positive support.

Liam has been great; tirelessly contacting companies on my behalf to find me a placement to complete my NVQ. With Liam’s support I’ve had some positive interactions with electrical companies so it’s hopefully only a matter of the ‘right timing’ when I can start work with them. Thanks so much Liam. :-) I’m pleased I enrolled with Elec Training.

Thank you for your review, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

It’s great to hear how proactive Liam has been in supporting you and reaching out to companies on your behalf. That stage of getting in front of employers is a big part of the NVQ journey, so it’s good to see those positive interactions starting to come through.

You’re absolutely right, sometimes it does come down to timing, but it sounds like you’re in a strong position and moving in the right direction.

We’re glad you chose Elec Training and we’ll continue to support you as you progress.

Level 2 with Mark and Neil at Elec training

Just finished up my Level 2 with Mark and Neil at Elec training and couldn’t be happier, learned a lot in a short amount of time, they were extremely supportive with everything and helped guide me when I couldn’t understand some things to get where I need to be!

Highly recommend!

It’s good to hear you enjoyed your Level 2 with Mark and Neil. They always put a lot of effort into supporting learners and making sure everything clicks, especially when you’re picking things up quickly in a short space of time.

Fair play to you as well, progressing that fast and staying committed makes a big difference.

Specialist tutors who know their industry well, would recommend !

Extremely high quality education given to me from the team, in a positive learning atmosphere.
Prior to the course, I was only ever working around electricians on occasion, thus never involved in hands on work within this field.
However with great support from my tutors (huge shout out and massive thank you to Neil Mark, and Laethian) I passed my level 2 with concretely good guidance along the way, which was a very enjoyable experience to learn within this class collective
Big thanks to the team at the Faraday Campus and all the best for the foreseeable future :))

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We’re really pleased to hear you had a positive experience and that the course helped you move from only being around electricians to gaining real hands-on knowledge in the trade.

I’ll make sure your kind words are passed on to Neil, Mark and Laethian. They all take a lot of pride in supporting learners and sharing real industry experience, so it’s great to hear their guidance helped you successfully complete your Level 2.

It’s also great to hear the team at our Faraday campus in Wolverhampton helped create a positive learning environment. We wish you the very best as you continue building your career in the electrical industry.

Thanks Elec-training for all their…

Thanks Elec-training for all their help. The tutors Neil, Laethian, and Mark were amazing and helped everybody in my cohort pass all of the exams. Mark especially was a great help in the practical and really helped me when I struggled since I have no practical or trade experience.

Thanks to Josh also as he was great at finding me a job and managed to get me one in around 3 weeks. He even kept checking up to update me about potential jobs and checked that when I did get a placement that I was happy with it.

My only criticism is that they could give you better warning and a better insight into what the course will contain and how difficult the exams are. Also I believe that the first “in college week” wasn’t great as we were supposed to be preparing for an exam but spent 3 of the 5 days doing other bits which I believe they could have fit into one day.

Other then that I have no complaints and would recommend this company to everybody

It’s also great to hear that Josh was able to help you secure a job so quickly and kept in touch throughout the process.

We also appreciate your honest feedback about the course structure and the "first in-college week". Comments like this are helpful for us, as we are always looking at ways to improve how we prepare learners for the exams and explain what to expect before the course begins.

Thank you again for choosing Elec Training and we wish you all the best as you continue building your career in the electrical industry.

Last year I saw the company online

Last year I saw the company online, some time in month of February 20th 2025, I was thinking am in the right place, it all started with one person called Richard saying we offer jobs we got placement, after 1 month of training I went to their office he said we gonna spread this entire payment and you gonna get a payment plan, I Knew it was too sweet to be true, I wanted to leave as I wasn’t ready , he asked me to pay at least £60 I ended up paying £100 he said is to secure my spot until i was gonna be ready, after I got home I called him and said I don’t have money to continue an he refund, but he refused to refund and said he’ll wait until 7 months time then they would have moved to Birmingham in 2026, I definitely to listen to him hoping high, some time around October I had to call him and said I’m ready to start he said my slot is gone I will wait till 2026 but i.can go ahead and pay the fees, I paid £1500 and hoping I was ok to start, they refused me starting and said they had few changes that I have to pay my fees completely which wasn’t the original plan and agreement at all, I broken and forced to pay more over £500 and I was ask to still continue paying before starting as a matter of fact I should finish the entire payment, I then said I had enough refund me and still on 14 days payment window, this company cut my £250 for doing nothing for me or offering me any services, just so someone else doesn’t fall for their nonsense scam.

Just to buttress it was a Deploma level 2

Hi Buchi Eze

We’re sorry to read that you feel unhappy about your experience.

According to our records, you first enrolled onto the Level 2 Electrical Diploma with Elec Training in April 2025 and paid a £250 deposit. At that stage you were issued with your enrolment contract and provided access to our online learning platform. Our records also show that you accessed the portal and began the online learning element of the course, completing lessons within the health and safety unit.

In May 2025 we were contacted explaining that your financial circumstances had changed and that the course was no longer affordable. At that stage we placed your enrolment on hold to allow you time before deciding whether to continue.

Later in the year you contacted us again to proceed with the course and additional payments were made in October and November 2025 in order to move forward with the agreed payment plan. During this time we also allocated you places on two separate course intakes while trying to accommodate your changing circumstances, and no additional charges were applied even when those places remained unused.

On 5 November 2025 we were contacted requesting that the course be cancelled due to financial difficulties. Following this request, a refund of £1,790 was issued. A £250 fee was retained to cover course registration, online learning access and administration, in line with the terms outlined in the enrolment contract.

Your enrolment for the qualification remains valid for up to three years, and we would still be happy to support you if you decide to continue your training. Please note that if you wish to complete your Level 2 qualification, any outstanding course fees would need to be paid before continuing your training.

If you would like to discuss this further, please contact our team directly and we will be happy to review the matter with you.

Amon’s Review

I had a great time on the course and learnt lots of valuable skills. Neil did a great job making the theory side enjoyable and Mark made the practical side really fun, whilst preparing us for site work and expectations. Liam from recruitment found me work experience immediately in solar installation and is continuing to support and look for well suited roles which has been a massive help. I would highly recommend elec training to everyone looking to kickstart their career in electrics.

Thank you for the great feedback, Amon.

It’s good to hear you enjoyed both the theory and practical elements of the course. Neil and Mark work hard to make sure learners not only understand the technical side of electrical installation but also feel confident applying it in real-world situations.

I’m also pleased Liam was able to help you secure solar installation experience so quickly. Getting learners exposure to real site work is a big part of what we try to achieve at Elec Training.

We appreciate you choosing Elec Training and wish you the very best as you continue building your career in the electrical industry across the UK and beyond.

Don’t bother you’ll end up wasting your money it won’t get you a job.

You won’t even get a certificate.

Hi Nadeem, we’re sorry to read this and we understand how frustrating it must feel if you are still waiting for a certificate and expected more support with work after the course.

We can’t discuss individual learner records publicly, but we would like to look into this properly, including the certificate issue and what was explained around employment support. Please contact the centre directly and ask for the relevant manager so we can review your course record and come back to you with a clear response.

We do take feedback like this seriously and would rather deal with the details properly than leave your concerns unanswered here.
