ELEC TRAINING Reviews 

My experience with this company has been diabolical & I'd urge anyone thinking of using them to strongly consider other training providers such as QEST or Rebus training. I took a big step at the age of 42 leaving a steady job and as a father of two trying to better myself, learn new skills & become a qualified electrician. The course was (in my opinion) mis-sold to me heavily also with the promise of a "guaranteed work placement" - make no mistake there is no guarantee of a work placement, however i was lucky enough to find myself one. Since then the NVQ L3 portfolio process over the last 18 months with this company has felt like a frustrating journey that would just never end, having to go back to the offices to see if they still even exist, un-contactable assessors, convoluted software to navigate with zero guidance, evidence uploaded and not even looked at for months if at all. I have since bridged over to a different provider upon recommendations, paying twice now however its been the best decision i could've made. Currently considering if i have options or time to lodge a small claims application. Steer clear.

Extremely Disappointing – Think Carefully Before Using Elec Training!

If you’re looking to complete your NVQ Level 3 and progress in the electrical industry, I would seriously reconsider using Elec Training.

When you pay a training provider, you expect a professional service, clear guidance, reasonable turnaround times and support throughout your qualification. Unfortunately, my experience has been the complete opposite.

What should have been a straightforward process has turned into months of unnecessary stress, chasing emails, waiting for work to be assessed and receiving very little clarity about when my qualification would actually be completed.

The biggest issue for me is the complete lack of accountability. Students are paying significant amounts of money to gain qualifications that directly affect their careers and earning potential. Being left waiting indefinitely for assessments and sign-offs is simply unacceptable.

I completed my portfolio to the point where I was told it was finished, received my Walled Garden details and went on to successfully pass my AM2. Despite all of this, I was still left without my completed NVQ qualification.

This has had real consequences. I’ve experienced delays in progressing as a qualified electrician, obtaining my ECS Gold Card and accessing opportunities that come with being fully qualified.

Eventually, I lost confidence in Elec Training’s ability to complete the process and had to spend even more money moving to another provider.

Customers should not have to pay twice for the same qualification because their original training provider cannot deliver the service they were paid to provide.

For a company dealing with people’s careers and livelihoods, the standard of service I’ve experienced has been extremely poor.

I wouldn’t recommend Elec Training based on my experience, and I would encourage anyone considering enrolling to ask serious questions about completion times, assessment procedures and how many learners have actually received their qualifications.

A very expensive and frustrating experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone else.

Wonderful care/service from Elec Training

The team has signed our son up for the City and Guilds Level 3 NVQ course 2357 on Monday the 12th of October 2026. Within 9 days, we are super excited to report the wonderful team had found him a work placement, and he started today. I/we did not expect it to happen so fast!

Mr. Richard Churchman was a big part of this, and Josh in the placement team found him the role. They sent his applications/CV to several companies in a very short time. I have been very pleased with the service thus far! Personally, without Mr. Churchman, I do believe we’d sign up to the course, he is professional, straight forward and most of all, I believed he had the best interest of our son throughout this process. Thank you Sir!

We now look forward to him finishing he’s NVQ level 3, finishing AM2 and finally been awarded the Gold Card (we shall update). Thank you to the whole team.

Efficiency, informative integrity to mention a few

Best company ever with great course teach and knowledge will recommend to friends and colleagues. Thank you guys

I have a good experience of learning here, good learning environments and flexible stuff and easy to learn in your own time

Really kind staff who are super helpful during the whole process.

Mr Mark And Nathen made the training and practicals so easy and understandable.

Nice to train with Elec.

Be back for level 3 definitely.

All of the tutors were very conscientious, especially with helping those struggling a little. Would highly recommend if you’re looking to change your career to electrics.

Very good for me and you staff supportive service is organised and recommendation is very highly 100%

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.

Excellent fast track route to gold card. Thanks to Liam and team for shaping our sons future five stars.

Best company and very friendly abd very helpful. Thanks always

I went to this place to do my NVQ Level 3 one of the main reasons I chose it was because of the main point that they say they can guarantee help with anyway to get you a placement and I was communicating with a member of there team called Joshua Jarvis he helped me in every way possible and helped me get set up with and electrical company to help me do my NVQ and also provided me with resources to look for job placements like likes and tips and trick i highly rate this place for anyone wanting to continue into the electrical industry and is willing to work towards getting in with a company and a degree in electrical

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.

Elec training helped me find work within one week and I am happy with the firm I’m working for

Staff was very helpful

The way they explain everything before getting admission is great .

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!

Mark was an amazing tutor alongside laethian helped me understand so so much and made me feel so confident and gave me the knowledge I need
