Lvl Site Logistics - Really enjoyed - Very Good Instructor

My accessor was Ragbir Powar which was very helpful and supportive. As a Logistics Operator working for Bouygues at University of Exeter I wanted to formalize my knowledge and skills and this NVQ lvl 2 in Logistics Operations was just perfect for that. Highly recommend CST training.

I recently completed my NVQ Level 3 in Painting and Decorating with CST Training, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Kurt Richards was an outstanding assessor – always professional, patient and supportive. He was always available to answer my questions and guided me through every stage of the course. Thanks to his help, I successfully achieved my NVQ Level 3 qualification. I would highly recommend CST Training, and especially Kurt Richards, to anyone looking to gain their NVQ in Painting and Decorating. Thank you again for all your support

Excellent support throughout my Level 4 NVQ

I recently completed my Level 4 NVQ in Construction Site Supervision with CST Training and had a very positive experience. My assessor, Kurtis Richards, was professional, supportive and helpful throughout the qualification. He provided clear guidance and constructive feedback, which made the evidence-gathering process much easier to understand. Communication was good, and I felt well supported from beginning to completion. I would highly recommend CST Training and Kurtis to anyone looking to complete a construction NVQ.

SMSTS R

The start day was interesting! Timings and provision of instructor were poor. There appeared to be a lack of resources. Throughout the 2 day course timings were all over the place and appeared not to be structured.
On the final day the exam started some 30 minutes late and post exam we were advised to remain on line to be spoken to and advised if we had passed or failed. This ended up being some 2 hours after the exam around 1800hrs! This was even after candidates stating they needed to leave due transport requirements etc.

SMSTS Refresher course

Peter Gilchrist presented the course in a very effective and engaging way. This was my first refresher course, and I was impressed by how he helped bring information I'd learned before back to the front of my mind, while also covering details I had forgotten over time. His relaxed approach to tutoring created a comfortable learning environment. I would definitely look to CST for further training in the future if needed.
