Valuable and Enjoyable Experience
The practical training exceeded my expectations. The strategy and process used throughout were very well structured, clear and professional. The training was delivered in a relaxed and comfortable environment, which made the whole experience positive and allowed me to focus on developing my practical skills and knowledge. I was particularly impressed by Charles Usigbe’s high level of technical knowledge and attention to detail. His guidance, explanations and overall approach were of a very high professional standard and made the training both valuable and enjoyable.

Great Support Throughout My Training
Really appreciate the support from the training centre. I contacted them to see if I could still rely on their support when it comes to potential employment opportunities while I’m completing my training. They helped update my CV and said they’ve shared it with companies in my local area. Hopefully it leads to some good opportunities. Thanks for the continued support!

NVQ Training
Completed NVQ Training with Charles. Learnt a few new things and it was explained clearly which is helpful.
Delivery was great, although I would suggest pre date communication is made clearer as learnt on the first date we needed a protractor and colour pens/pencils. Would help prep better if email sent out or put on website /portal

Glad you had a great experience with Charles and came away with some valuable new knowledge and clear guidance.
Thank you for the constructive note on equipment lists beforehand, knowing exactly what to bring (like pens and protractors) makes day one so much smoother, so we’ll get that feedback to our admin team to improve pre-course comms.
Best of luck with your career ahead!
Great staff and flexible structure
Although there were initial frustrations on the admin side and waiting times my experience with Access Training has been great. I recently completed my NVQ assessment at Cardiff and the support I have had from James there was excellent. He clearly understands his subject very well and is passionate about teaching it. He is very patient and knowledgeable and his help has been instrumental in achieving my goal. I am very grateful for this and he's a credit to Access Training.

Access training
I recently completed 10 days of practical electrical training with my tutor Aaron Kahl and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
As someone who had no previous electrical practical training experience at all, I initially felt quite nervous about starting. However, Aaron was extremely patient, nurturing and understanding throughout the whole 10 days. He took the time to explain things clearly and answer my questions and make sure I understood what I was doing rather than simply rushing through the practical work.
The training has been really insightful and has given me a much better understanding of what to expect when working in the field. Most importantly, I’m coming away from the 10 days with a lot more confidence in my practical abilities, which I hope to carry forward as I progress into the electrical field.
I also feel much better prepared for my upcoming practical assessments, and I’m grateful for the support and guidance I received throughout the training.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone especially those who are starting out with little or no practical electrical experience.

Aaron Kahl is brilliant. Going into a 10-day practical with zero background can be daunting, but having a patient tutor who takes the time to build your skills properly makes all the difference.

Aaron is an excellent electrical instructor. He explains difficult topics clearly and always relates the theory to real-life electrical work. He is knowledgeable, patient and happy to answer questions until everyone understands. His practical demonstrations and exam advice have helped improve my confidence considerably. I would highly recommend Aaron and his electrical course to anyone looking to develop their electrical knowledge and practical skills.

Have just completed my last and 3rd week of practical training at Edenbridge training centre, the whole week was excellent, tutored by Callum the whole week and his knowledge , enthusiasm and motivation made the week enjoyable and easier to digest which made the learning a lot easier, thank you Callum!!
If I had one criticism it would the admin side of Access, it can at times be very difficult to get answers to course questions and get exams booked etc.

Been in the Cardiff training centre for the last few months doing my course. The tutor Pete is a great teacher with brilliant knowledge of plumbing and the course structure. Very helpful and friendly guy and has made the 2 hour travel each day worth it instead of going to a different centre.
