You're absolutely right, Craig Wiltshire IS a credit to our industry and we're very lucky to have him on our team. All the best for the future.
Flexible course with help around the clock
I started the course in 2021 I chose XS training because of my situation, choosing to fund the NVQ myself! This worked for me as it was flexible to fit in with my working schedule! My tutor Craig was available to help whenever I needed, his knowledge and commitment to help really helped me get through this, without him I would have really struggled

NVQ 2357?Lvl 3 feedback
I am extremely grateful to XS Training for delivering the 2357 NVQ qualification and to my assessor Thomas Simpson whose professionalism was nothing short but exceptional.
I must admit I was a slow burner in starting the NVQ, it took me 18 months to obtain all the evidence and build the portfolio but once I got into the process of uploading the photos onto OneFile it was a walk in park. Furthermore, Thomas was on hand if I got stuck and answered any queries I had in a timely manner.
Once I receive my Certificate I will be eligible to apply for my Gold Card and once I’ve obtained this I will also be apply to for a pay rise to the company I work for as per the JIB.
It’s probably worth mentioning that I didn’t do my AM2 through XS Training, that was delivered by another training provider prior to me starting the NVQ portfolio. I also completed the 2391-52 prior again through another training provider.
Looking back and in my opinion completing the 2357 NVQ portfolio via XS Training is a no brainer and I highly recommend them to any forthcoming electrical students wishing to progress with their qualifications…
Thanks again and all the best…

WOW! What a fantastic and detailed review Laurence, we really appreciate you taking the time to do so in such depth. You pick up on a couple of things (at least!) which others will recognise. Firstly, that getting started is the hardest part - once you start to get some momentum then everything seems to fits together much more quicker and easier than you thought possible. Secondly that when you complete your NVQ and attain your ECS/JIB Card then your skills are more widely acknowledged and respected - and you'll get paid more for doing it too! Many thanks once again for this great review and all the best for your future in our industry.

Craig was possibly the best assessor / guide I have had. A Good egg

Highly recommend XS training for your NVQ portfolio, really appreciate my assessor Thomas Simpson. He is always guiding me in a right direction, most importantly, he is nearly instant reply. Of cause you can't expect someone is standing by for 24 hrs, but Tom shows how he cares what I need.
I am quite lucky that can be finished off everything within 7 months. Many thanks!

I found the nvq 3 challenging…..with work, family and life in general getting in the way. But I have to say my assessor CRAIG WILTSHIRE went above and beyond to help me get through it. He really is a top bloke. You’ll be lucky to have him.

If you’re looking to complete the electrical NVQ3 then XS Training is the way forward. I was lucky enough to have Craig Wiltshire as my assessor . This guy goes above and beyond any other assessor I had previously. I can’t thank Craig enough for all his hard work and help . I would not have passed this NVQ without Craig’s help . One of life’s good guys . Absolute pleasure to have worked with Craig . Would highly recommend him to anyone wanting an excellent assessor. Best in the business!

The centre staff were also attentive and helpful. The whole process was really straightforward. Thanks XS
