So grateful to ELEC Training
ELEC Training provides an outstanding service for anyone pursuing their electrical NVQ, and I cannot praise them highly enough. In an industry where gaining practical experience has become increasingly difficult, ELEC Training stands out as a company genuinely committed to helping learners build real careers through paid, meaningful placements across the UK.
I want to give special recognition to Liam McCreight, whose professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for his students is exceptional. Liam goes far beyond what you would normally expect from a training provider. His ability to recognise when someone needs support and his willingness to step in with both expertise and compassion makes an enormous difference.
Thanks to Liam’s guidance and the opportunities provided through ELEC Training, we’ve seen first-hand how their placements open doors to high‑quality work, strong team environments, and long‑term career prospects. The businesses they partner with clearly value ELEC Training’s students, offering competitive pay, progression opportunities, and even international project work.
ELEC Training isn’t just a training company; it’s a life‑changing pathway for aspiring electricians. Liam’s commitment, integrity, and heart have a profound impact on the people he supports.

I highly recommend Elec Training
I’m really happy with the support I received from Elec Training, especially from Josh. He was incredibly helpful and managed to find me employment with a private company within just 4 days.
The whole process was much easier than I expected. The hardest thing I had to do was provide my CV, then Josh and the team took care of everthing else.
I honestly didn’t think it would be this easy to find an opportunity and start gaining real work experience. Reading other peoples reviews made me chose elec training so I’m here to recommend elect training to anyone deciding if to go with them.

I've just done my Level 2(2365) Fantastic experience from day one. Knowledgeable instructors who care about student success, and a solid focus on safety and real-world application. Mr Mark and Laethian (instructors) been really great, taught us practical implications in such a simple way that I couldn't believe I would be that confident about electric work in four weeks. Highly recommend to anyone looking to start a career as an electrician!

Had an amazing time training at Elec
Had an amazing time training at Elec, Josh was very considerate and helpful when to helping me get a job as well with my situation coming in to get my training done he made the time to see what he could do too help out. Mark the trainer was very friendly and made all the work and process very easy to learn and remember. On a whole I would recommend learning here for purely just for the sake of it’s amazing staff but the quality of the training was definitely top notch.

Really unimpressed
I signed up with elec-training in December 2025, the person who signed me up told me they would find me a permanent job for 30K a year, within a couple of months. I still have the texts.
Almost 8 months later I have no job offers despite trying myself as well. The recruitment team are now trying to sign me up with agencies and get me temp work, which I can and have been doing myself. I get the odd message from recruitment if I contact them, they say 'we've given your details to someone you should hear back today', and I hear nothing from anyone. The recruitment team also put my original CV into ChatGPT and produced a really bad version of it that I've since had looked at by another recruitment professional and I've since redesigned, I won't be using the ChatGPT CV it's really not good. Can't fault the recruitment people themselves they are nice lads but the job finding service is no good for me. I needed the help to get a job as I've been trying myself after completing college (I completed my level 2 and 3 at night college, I also have my 18th edition) but had no luck at all.
Just really unimpressed with the overpromise by this company. If you live in Wolverhampton maybe they're really good but they don't seem to have the connections they said they did further north.
I've sent a complaint in almost 2 weeks ago now and heard nothing. The tutor I've been assigned has also escalated the matter on the same date but still nothing. I've escalated through the payitmonthly company today as it is really not acceptable what's going on. I do feel a bit scammed, although I know they're a legit company.
