CT Skills Reviews 

I have now completed my time on the course, and I am due to have my gateway meeting this Monday with my tutor, Ian. I would like to thank you, Ian, for all the support you’ve given me throughout the programme. I feel ready to go into my EPA exam and have really appreciated the positive feedback I’ve received along the way. Thank you again for all your support.

I am currently doing a Level 3 HR support apprenticeship with CT skills and i can not recommend them enough. The initial enrolment was very simple and quick, and the course is broken down into monthly lessons where you have a call with your tutor on a 1-2-1 basis, go through that months lesson and receive your work. Your tutor is there to support you throughout and you can reach out to them at any point for support. My tutor was Craig and he has been fantastic throughout, allowing me to set the pace of my learning and answering any questions i had. There is also a resources section where you can access and read through topics to expand your learning and knowledge. Uploading the work is simple, and its marked quickly and you are given feedback. I am just about to enter gateway now and Craig has been amazing and has really helped build my confidence. I was initially worried about studying alongside working full time but it's been easier than i thought and this last year has flown by.

I have had a really positive experience with CT Skills while doing my business course. They offered me endless support through many ways that worked for me personally.

I had troubles at my workplace where i have been taking my apprenticeship at and had a change of assessor unexpectedly half way through. Fortunately, I got to meet Clair Jones my assessor who supported me through to the end. She filled in any gaps i struggled with, was always giving me support/help and was so lovely on teams calls (even through emails you show a strong interest in helping). Overall, i do strongly feel that i got the best grades possible down to Clair.
Thank you so much for everything you have taught me and the support through the course. Any apprentice to be taught by yourself will gain so much.

Many thanks, Macy Jo :)

I have recently completed my Level 3 Housing Property Management course and achieved a distinction. Jo Green was a big part of my success. She was very helpful, kind, and easy to talk to. She explained things in a simple way, which made it much easier to understand the course. Whenever I needed help, Jo was always there to support me and answer my questions. She was patient and always encouraged me to do my best.

I did an early years apprenticeship with CTskills and all the assessors are amazing at making sure you are the best you can be. They answer any questions and makes sure the learnings embedded

My journey has been heavily supported by my tutor Jo, who has helped me gain my qualification in housing and property management. CT skills has been great and i am now qualified!!!

I am just finishing off my level 3 early years practitioner apprenticeship, my assessor Donna was really helpful in ensuring my work was properly completed and helped me to understand areas where I was struggling. I only had 3 observations throughout my whole apprenticeship (1 year and 4 months) which hasn't particularly helped as during my last observation I was very unaware of what to expect and I am still unaware of what to expect for my EPA.

I have now completed two courses with CT Skills. Level 3 Counselling Skills and Level 2 Understanding Behaviour that Challenges. Janet Henderson has been my tutor for both and she is wonderful. I have physical disabilities, as well as Dyslexia and she has been so understanding and supportive. She always marks my work quickly and gives really encouraging feedback. I wasn’t diagnosed with Dyslexia until my mid thirties and so my time at school was horrendous and the reason I didn’t seek to go to university. I believed I couldn’t do it. The feedback I had had from Janet makes me believe I can achieve what I want to. I highly recommend CT Skills.

I would not recommend this course provider to anyone, especially vulnerable learners or people on benefits who are trying to improve their situation through training.

My experience of the Data Protection Level 2 course was appalling. The course materials were extremely minimal, broad, outdated, and lacking in the detail actually needed to answer the assessment questions properly. I was repeatedly expected to produce highly detailed, in-depth answers, yet the learning material itself did not provide enough information to do that. It felt like I was being assessed against standards that the course had never actually taught.

The feedback was equally poor. Instead of meaningful guidance, I was often met with vague comments such as “needs more detail”, despite the fact that the course content itself was generalised, outdated, and wholly insufficient to support the level of detail they were demanding. Learners cannot be expected to “magic up” information that was never properly taught in the first place.

In reality, I learned more about data protection from outside help than I ever did from this course. That completely defeats the point of enrolling on a training programme that is supposed to teach the subject. A provider should equip learners with the knowledge required to succeed, not leave them filling in huge gaps themselves and then penalise them for not meeting unrealistic expectations.

I was also extremely disappointed by the lack of proper support, the poor quality of the course structure, and the failure to take accessibility needs into account, including issues around the software required to complete the course. For a provider dealing with adult learners, many of whom may already be under financial or personal pressure, this is unacceptable.

What made this worse was the sense that the system is stacked against the learner: overwhelming coursework, inadequate teaching, poor feedback, and then financial penalties if you do not complete it. Charging people around £125 for non-completion, after failing to provide adequate teaching and support, feels deeply unfair.

Overall, this course felt outdated, unsupported, inaccessible, and completely disproportionate in what it expected from learners compared with what it actually delivered. I found the whole experience frustrating, demoralising, and honestly exploitative.

Janet was an excellent tutor, responding to my queries very promptly and offering support if needed.

I had a great experience being supported by Janet during my Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Data Protection & Data Security.

Even though the course was online, she made everything clear and easy to follow. Janet was always supportive, responsive, and provided helpful feedback that really improved my understanding.

Thanks to her guidance, I completed the course with confidence and gained valuable knowledge. I would definitely recommend her as a tutor

Superb tutor marked the course within hours of submitting it for checking, gave clear and good feedback done many courses but this organisation is the most efficient highly recommended. Thank you

I have completed my L3 Business Admin apprenticeship and I'm now heading into my End Point Assessment period. My assessor, Clair, has been absolutely fantastic, being such a positive guide throughout the course. She was always available to chat or answer any questions I may have had, making sure to reassure me and provide valuable advice. I would highly recommend an apprenticeship with Clair as your assessor!

This apprenticeship has been very challenging yet rewarding. I would not have made it through without the help and support from Clair, she brought a calm and reassuring presence that made the overwhelming moments manageable. There was a point where I felt I couldn't continue and gave up but Clair gave me the encouragement and positivity to continue, I am incredibly grateful for everything she has done - she has truly helped me achieve something I once thought wasn't possible.

I’ve had a really positive experience with CT Skills. The training was well structured, supportive, and easy to engage with alongside work.
My tutor, Jo Green was excellent – knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. She explained things clearly, was always supportive, and made the learning experience feel manageable and motivating.
I would happily recommend CT Skills, and especially Jo, to anyone considering training or an apprenticeship.

My BF did his Accountancy apprenticeship with these, they gave him the BPP platform then bullied him through it, constantly emailing telling him he was behind. His review person was nagging him to sit exams before he was due or ready, telling him about his tutor health problems and telling him to move to another tutor, who only worked part time. He was being told ehat to put in a portfolio by someone called Janet who had no experience or Accountancy qualifications. All Janet did was pull other people down. He left without finishing it was that bad. It was horrible and I wouldn't recommend 😔

I could not be more GRATEFUL to have experienced this journey with any other tutor!
To be paired with Emma Whitby was the most rewarding part of my journey! The kindness radiates off her and the support has been unmatched!!
Anyone who has the luck of having a Tutor like mine are going to experience encouragement, support and feel able to achieve these challenging goals on the way ! Emma has shaped who i am and to be half the woman she is i would be lucky!!
Thank you CT Skills

Great courses supplied with lots of support when needed. I have completed Level 2 Leadership and Level 2 mental health awareness and Janet Henderson supported me on both courses.

Janet and the rest of the CT Skills team were very helpful and supportive throughout my apprenticeship and I wouldn't have been able to complete my apprenticeship without their constant support and guidance.
