Written by the company

As the leading Heating, Electrical, Plumbing & First Aid training provider in the UK, Skills Training Group has facilities in Paisley, Dalgety Bay. It’s no industry secret that there is a severe skills shortage of qualified gas engineers in the UK. The privatisation of the Gas Board in 1986, further compounded by a lack of investment in public funding for apprenticeships has caused a skills gap in the industry. There are around 25 million homes in the UK, all of which require a source of heating and hot water. By far the and away, gas central heating is the most popular method of proving heating & hot water. With gas appliances requiring an annual service to maintain their manufacturer’s warranty, every rented property requiring an annual Gas Safety Certificate, repairs required to keep appliances operational & the average lifespan of a combi boiler lasting 15 years’ you can be assured training as a gas engineer is both prosperous and sustainable.

One‑day In‑Service Inspection and Electrical Equipment Testing (PAT)

I recently completed the one‑day In‑Service Inspection and Electrical Equipment Testing (PAT) course in Paisley with David Willison and Skills Training Group, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish.

The location was convenient and well set up for the course. David was an outstanding trainer—informative, supportive, knowledgeable and genuinely engaging throughout the full day. His delivery made the content clear, practical and easy to apply, and he kept the group involved from start to finish.

If you need this qualification, I’d highly recommend Skills Training Group. Great delivery, great trainer, and a very smooth experience overall.

Fault Finding Course

I recently attended a Fault Finding course taught by Gavin, and it was a great experience. Gavin was an excellent teacher who explained the concepts clearly and made the sessions easy to follow. He shared a lot of useful knowledge and provided me with plenty of new information that will definitely help in my work. Overall, it was a very valuable course and I would highly recommend it.
