I attended Elec for my level 2 and 18th edition back in November (signed up through a legend called Stephen who is very helpful!). My tutor Nima was sound! Very to the point guy but can have a laugh when necessary. Thank you Nima!
I completed my level 3 in April, this module was taught by Chris, and in parts by Phil.
Chris is a geezer, fast paced teaching and very helpful when practicing on the testing and inspection/ fault finding boards. Phil really knows his stuff, and acts as a point of contact. He did the assessing, but if you're struggling with something and need a different approach, he's more than happy to help.
Since completing both courses at Elec, Josh has been a great help finding me work, stayed in touch frequently and done his best to get me a job that tailors to my needs. Also supplying information and support on how to go about completing my nvq.
To sum up, I had a positive experience at ElecTraining. I would definitely recommend this college to start your electrical training.

It’s great to hear Stephen, Nima, Chris and Phil all supported you in different ways, from getting started through to the testing, inspection and fault-finding work. We’ll make sure your feedback is passed on to the team.

We really appreciate your recommendation and wish you all the best as you continue building your electrical career.

My experience with Elec Training has been absolutely amazing!! I would highly recommend them. Liam Mccreight really went out of his way to get me a work placements for my NVQ (even messaging me on a Saturday night..) and since then I’ve had 2 more opportunities to complete my portfolio…. Starting my next one on Tuesday… I was really worried I had spent so much money getting qualified on paper without the experience for my gold card but fair play, Elec Training really have delivered.👍👍

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, Kai. We’re really pleased Liam was able to support you with work placements for your NVQ and help you keep building the site evidence needed for your portfolio.
We understand how worrying it can feel when you have completed the training but still need real site experience to move towards your Gold Card, so it’s great to hear the recruitment support has helped create those opportunities.
We really appreciate your recommendation and wish you all the best with your next placement and the rest of your NVQ journey.

At first when i signed up i had thought here we go another company like others take your money and leave you out in the stick. However after speaking to Richard who had explained the process and then had Josh call me from recruitment and reassured me that they will find me work to complete my NVQ. It was a slow process finding work however being patient had worked in my favour after a 6 weeks Josh had finally found me a job. Elec training are the only training centre that actually go out and look for work. I haven’t come across anyone offering that service to anyone which is great. As it can be very difficult to find the work to complete the NVQ unless you’re just lucky. I can say I am glad that I had signed up with Elec training and would recommend to others who want to complete their NVQ.

One of the best decision I’ve made for my education and learning. I recently completed my level 2 diploma and my IET regulations and everyone there helped me in every possible way they could. Specially my tutor Latheian McCalla; he was always there to support me and help me whereever I needed him. He’s one of the reason I passed it in good marks. And thanks to Joshua Jarvis for helping me out connecting with people and companies to find a job; keeping me updating in every step of the process. All the staff members are also nice and cheerful. Thanks to Richard, for convincing me to join Elec training.

Liam has provided positive support.
Liam has been great; tirelessly contacting companies on my behalf to find me a placement to complete my NVQ. With Liam’s support I’ve had some positive interactions with electrical companies so it’s hopefully only a matter of the ‘right timing’ when I can start work with them. Thanks so much Liam. :-) I’m pleased I enrolled with Elec Training.

It’s great to hear how proactive Liam has been in supporting you and reaching out to companies on your behalf. That stage of getting in front of employers is a big part of the NVQ journey, so it’s good to see those positive interactions starting to come through.
You’re absolutely right, sometimes it does come down to timing, but it sounds like you’re in a strong position and moving in the right direction.
We’re glad you chose Elec Training and we’ll continue to support you as you progress.

Specialist tutors who know their industry well, would recommend !
Extremely high quality education given to me from the team, in a positive learning atmosphere.
Prior to the course, I was only ever working around electricians on occasion, thus never involved in hands on work within this field.
However with great support from my tutors (huge shout out and massive thank you to Neil Mark, and Laethian) I passed my level 2 with concretely good guidance along the way, which was a very enjoyable experience to learn within this class collective
Big thanks to the team at the Faraday Campus and all the best for the foreseeable future :))

Thanks Elec-training for all their help. The tutors Neil, Laethian, and Mark were amazing and helped everybody in my cohort pass all of the exams. Mark especially was a great help in the practical and really helped me when I struggled since I have no practical or trade experience.
Thanks to Josh also as he was great at finding me a job and managed to get me one in around 3 weeks. He even kept checking up to update me about potential jobs and checked that when I did get a placement that I was happy with it.
My only criticism is that they could give you better warning and a better insight into what the course will contain and how difficult the exams are. Also I believe that the first “in college week” wasn’t great as we were supposed to be preparing for an exam but spent 3 of the 5 days doing other bits which I believe they could have fit into one day.
Other then that I have no complaints and would recommend this company to everybody

Last year I saw the company online
Last year I saw the company online, some time in month of February 20th 2025, I was thinking am in the right place, it all started with one person called Richard saying we offer jobs we got placement, after 1 month of training I went to their office he said we gonna spread this entire payment and you gonna get a payment plan, I Knew it was too sweet to be true, I wanted to leave as I wasn’t ready , he asked me to pay at least £60 I ended up paying £100 he said is to secure my spot until i was gonna be ready, after I got home I called him and said I don’t have money to continue an he refund, but he refused to refund and said he’ll wait until 7 months time then they would have moved to Birmingham in 2026, I definitely to listen to him hoping high, some time around October I had to call him and said I’m ready to start he said my slot is gone I will wait till 2026 but i.can go ahead and pay the fees, I paid £1500 and hoping I was ok to start, they refused me starting and said they had few changes that I have to pay my fees completely which wasn’t the original plan and agreement at all, I broken and forced to pay more over £500 and I was ask to still continue paying before starting as a matter of fact I should finish the entire payment, I then said I had enough refund me and still on 14 days payment window, this company cut my £250 for doing nothing for me or offering me any services, just so someone else doesn’t fall for their nonsense scam.
Just to buttress it was a Deploma level 2

Hi Buchi Eze
We’re sorry to read that you feel unhappy about your experience.
According to our records, you first enrolled onto the Level 2 Electrical Diploma with Elec Training in April 2025 and paid a £250 deposit. At that stage you were issued with your enrolment contract and provided access to our online learning platform. Our records also show that you accessed the portal and began the online learning element of the course, completing lessons within the health and safety unit.
In May 2025 we were contacted explaining that your financial circumstances had changed and that the course was no longer affordable. At that stage we placed your enrolment on hold to allow you time before deciding whether to continue.
Later in the year you contacted us again to proceed with the course and additional payments were made in October and November 2025 in order to move forward with the agreed payment plan. During this time we also allocated you places on two separate course intakes while trying to accommodate your changing circumstances, and no additional charges were applied even when those places remained unused.
On 5 November 2025 we were contacted requesting that the course be cancelled due to financial difficulties. Following this request, a refund of £1,790 was issued. A £250 fee was retained to cover course registration, online learning access and administration, in line with the terms outlined in the enrolment contract.
Your enrolment for the qualification remains valid for up to three years, and we would still be happy to support you if you decide to continue your training. Please note that if you wish to complete your Level 2 qualification, any outstanding course fees would need to be paid before continuing your training.
If you would like to discuss this further, please contact our team directly and we will be happy to review the matter with you.
