What our clients say

"Steve was a fantastic trainer. knowledgeable, patient, and explained everything clearly. He made the course enjoyable and really helped build my confidence in inspection and testing. I’d highly recommend him to anyone taking the LCL course. Thanks for all your support!"
Peter H. - Google Review
"I was absolutely thrilled when I was accepted into Kelly Energy’s training facility. Being profoundly deaf, I was initially nervous about training and communication. The staff immediately took extra steps to provide me support, such as one-to-one training and a direct communication method, which was crucial. If it wasn’t for their support, I would’ve struggled massively, but the facility gave me everything I needed to pass the course."
Callum Garvin
Electrical Delegate
"Romy delivered the Cookers Assessment amazingly, and would recommend coming here for any training for tradesmen and new entrants"
Dayyan K. - Google Review
"Before this course I was doing scaffolding and wanted a different career path. The course has been top notch from day one — we went out for practical work and then came back to see how we were getting on. The hands-on training was explained clearly, and all the staff were there to help if we needed anything. It’s a long-term investment in yourself and gives you a career in electrics, which is the way forward."
Alex Midgley-Newton

"I have had a fantastic training to gain back my Gas qualification here. Friendly, very professional and supportive environment! Can definitely recommend!"
Fabian W. - Google
"I moved into renewables because it’s the way the future’s going. It’s security for your career, and at the same time you’re helping make the environment better. You’re giving free energy to people through solar panels and helping the movement into electric vehicles. The course has been fantastic. It’s enjoyable, and the hands-on training is the best way to learn. The trainers explain things really well and help you understand exactly the work that you’re doing."

"The staff and trainers are the best — they’ll always help you out with anything you’re struggling on. Even if you’ve never picked up a screwdriver in your life, it’s easy to work with. The course gives you basic electrics skills that open up so many options, and you feel confident working on solar systems by the end."
