Brilliant training from the team on how to complete the EICR certificate correctly. I can’t wait to do the rest of their courses. Had I not paid for my nvq course fees with another school Would have completed my 2357 level 3 nvq with xs training. I like their set up and training

Thank you for your very kind words Edem. We wish you all the very best for your NVQ 2357 Level 3, and for your future in the industry.
EICR
I recently completed the EICR training course with XR Training. The course was well structured and clearly explained how to complete the EICR form, including observations, coding, and the reporting process.

Thank you for this detailed review of our EICR course, Edem, especially as it's not one that people usually take the time to share their feedback on. This is a short (£10) course, along side our EIC & MEIWC courses, but a lot of people do find them very helpful in outlining how to complete these Reports correctly. Thanks again and all the best.

My assessor Laura have been great throughout my NVQ journey. The help and support she provided made the whole process easier and more enjoyable. Jamie my internal verifier have given assistance in the vital moment too. Thank you both. Hope you two have a great 2026.

Brilliant learning providers …
I’ve just completed my Level 2 and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The online course suited my learning style perfectly—easy to navigate, clear, and genuinely engaging. The videos were informative without ever feeling boring.
The in-centre practical sessions were equally enjoyable. The tutors were knowledgeable, friendly, and always approachable. Because I already had some practical experience, I was able to work through the workbook at my own pace, with plenty of helpful advice and support whenever I needed it.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this course—and the centre—to anyone considering any of the programmes they offer.

Great experience.
I completed the 2391-51 course and I had no issues with the company at all. Always answered my emails, access to the online training course was easy, and the course itself was very helpful and had knowledge checks along the way to help you know if you were ready to continue. Attending the Leeds centre to complete my exams and the staff were all really friendly and helpful, and put me at ease as I tend to get very nervous before exams.
Highly recommend. Thanks!

Hi Fabrice, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
However, we don't feel the one star review is valid.
The portfolio we use to support you for the NVQ, shows you were active on the portfolio over 950 times over the 3 years you were registered.
This was between the 17/08/2020 - 17/09/2023.
You were clearly told on email you had 3 years to complete this qualification. You then logged back in on the 01/05/2025 nearly 20 months after the completion date stating you had little support.
The assessor you had is excellent and gets 5 star reviews on a regular basis. He states the support was always there but no evidence was ever uploaded for him to check.
We were very clear when you began that you needed to take ownership of your NVQ and collecting photos is something you need to do for us to assess the work you carry out.
You were on an assessor built portfolio which means the assessor does the write ups, using the professional discussion carried out which are recorded.
Your main role is to collect good quality photos with you in and upload then to the portfolio with a short description.
There are zero photos uploaded to your portfolio.
We need to pay City and Guilds, OneFile and other bodies to register you too these qualifications.
We have made you a very good offer, of a part refund which others would definitely not do. For you to ask for £2000 back after 5 years of starting is unfair and unrealistic.
Thank you Jamie Gibbs
Manager - XS Training.
Done my NVQ with XS
Done my NVQ with XS. If you’re prepared to put in the work, they have the systems in place to make it fast and efficient. Only took me 2 and a half months from start to finish. My assessor Tom was always on hand and always responsive to any Questions I had. Fully Recommend

Congratulations on the completion of your NVQ Electrical Level 3 qualification Ryan, and well done for doing so in the short timescale that you did. It's certainly not unheard of, but not the norm. However it will be of great interest for others to hear a personal experience of how it is possible. All the very best for the future in our industry.
They were helpful and polite
They were helpful and polite. They eased you into your tests. Feedback from my Assessor Muz was great, you just need to be focused , keep on top of it, and they will guide you 👍 I took the experienced worker route as been in the game 20 years. I have worked with apprentices who are already qualified thanks to xs training videos or courses. I have my am2 left and I know I will pass it due to my experience and the confidence XS training has given me. Thanks again 💯👍
