Just completed my NVQ with XS Training
Just completed my NVQ with XS Training. From induction through to completion the whole team has been brilliant. A big shout out especially to my assessor Tom Simpson, who has been professional and efficient throughout. After going through the Options Skills bankruptcy fiasco XS Training has been an absolute breath of fresh air. I'll be back for future courses!

Congratulations on the completion of your NVQ Level 3 electrical qualification Sherif and many thanks for taking the time to share these kind words about your assessor, Tom. He, and we, very much appreciate it. All the best to you too.
Friendly and works around me to get things completed.
Very easy to use, company worked around my schedule and made things straight forward to get my qualification completed.
Most of it was done online but the site was straight forward to use and the accessor was able to do the discussions at times that suited my working hours.
Id recommend them, especially the accessor I had called Rob who was extremely helpful and friendly.

My experience with xs training …
Tom is my assessor he took over from someone. Firstly when I needed a change in assessor it wasn't delayed after listening to my explanation and it was prompt and Tom was given to me and I like that from the first time I spoke to him. He was clear and give details. He's also reachable when you need him. I find him very helpful. Even though I felt I could I completed it much earlier with the right assessor but when I took action I think xs reason with him and they provide help help. Thanks

Above and beyond
Craig was my assessor for my experienced worker NVQ. He has been more than helpful and gone above and beyond with the educational content he creates. He made my assessments feel relaxed and took the pressure and stress off of everything. Thank you

I had an incredible experience with this course and with my accessor. This is because of how clear and understanding he was. I was clearly told and explained how to operate the onefile, timings of schedules for assessments and his quick reponse timing to my questions or to check work uploaded. I have zero complaints. Thank you.

Your taking the time to leave this review is very much appreciated and we wish you all the best for the future in the industry.
Let be honest this is the guy .
I feel my review should carry some weight , reason being this the 3rd time I have attempted this nvq through my own procrastination.
3rd times a charm, I got inducted by Craig and he made it clear to me on areas I need to improve/brush up on .
Throughout he has been faultless and if I'm honest if I had met him on my first go it would of been done .
He understands nerves yet also make sure you know your stuff .
It's what's needed it helps you and the industry you will doing your career in .
If anyone was to undertake an nvq this is the guy you want .
I can not thank him enough and he is an asset to the industry . Very much an un sung hero who makes you a better spark and that's the end goal .
Will certainly recommend Craig .

I'm sure it will do so for anyone reading it, particularly those have made previous attempts to complete their NVQ 3 Electrical but not been able to achieve it at the time, for one one reason of another. There will be many! Congratulations on making it 3rd time lucky, and all the best for your future in our industry.

I've had amazing experience with Xs training, did my NVQ experience worker and 2391 with them. They whole process was stress free, the assessor Mr Muztaba guided me through the portfolio building process ... If you are looking to get qualified and expirienced worker is the route you are going to take I highly recommend Xs training and also going to Leeds for 2391 exam is the best option as you will get the support from the preparation session. I'm very happy have my AM2E booked for early May!

Exceptional Service
In true, I'll get to it later fashion. I completely ignored my NVQ until there was a mere three weeks remaining. Once I'd realised my mistake, I contacted Craig at XS and rather than telling me I was well out of luck and I should have got to it sooner, he immediately told me if I put the effort in he would make sure to support and offer any assistance he could. For the three weeks after that, Craig went above and beyond to ensure I knew what was required and that I had a plan in place to make it happen. Somehow, with numerous silly formatting questions on my part, Craig was available to assistance and in the end I managed to complete the NVQ with six days to spare.
(I do not recommend this method of completing the NVQ, I hope someone else can learn from my mistake)
Thank you very much to Craig and the team at XS

Congratulations on the completion of your NVQ Level 3 qualification James, it must have been a couple of (very) busy weeks for you! :-) Really well done in completing in such as short space of time - and under a fair bit of pressure I would imagine! As I'm sure you've seen, you're not the first to have commented on the 'above and beyond' support you've received from Craig - and you won't be the last. (We also have lots of other great assessors too btw!) We're delighted to have been able to get you over the line and wish you all the best for your future in the industry.
Brilliant
The company made everything straight forward to complete my NVQ, not interfering with day to day work.
Tom my assessor was brilliant, very clear on explanations of what was required. Always responding to questions quickly and helpful all the way through.
Highly recommended.

Congratulations on the completion of your NVQ electrical level 3 qualification, and all the best for your future in our industry.
Pure excellence
From the moment Craig became my assessor it was like having a private tutor. Any queries or problems I had whilst navigating my NVQ I spoke to him about and he gave me guidance every step of the way. Its taken me a while to get to this point where I can officially call myself an electrician and I can whole heartedly say that Craig and XS are the best training providers out there. If you feel lost ask Craig, if your stuck ask Craig and for any training needs ask Craig at XS training.
