Thanks Craig
Without Craig there’s no way I would have got through my NVQ. I started off doing my NVQ with another assessor and I genuinely didn’t think I’d ever complete it. However once I changed to Craig, his patience and availability when I needed assistance enabled me to complete it. I can’t thank him enough

Thank you for taking the time to leave this 5-star review and of course for your kind words about your dedicated assessor throughout the process, Craig Wilshire. Congratulations on the completion of your NVQ level 3 electrical qualification and all the best for the future.
Having everything online is very convenient!
I was a bit sceptical at the beginning about having everything online, including the observations, but it’s a huge help to have it that way. It helps you get quicker through the process, but remember that it depends on you not on your assessor how quick you get this done.
What I liked is that on the online profile created for your NVQ contains a lot of info and examples of what kind of pictures you need, and how to prepare for obs, together with checklists and useful guidance from the assessor.
I don’t know what other course providers are like as I’ve only used XS for my NVQ, but I can definitely recommend XS Training.
The app used for picture uploading isn’t great (or maybe wasn’t great on my iPhone) but you can get online without the app, which is what I did, sometimes even on my breaks at work when I was uploading 1-2 pictures that I managed to take on that occasion - again - having everything online it’s an advantage.
Overall good experience that helped me learn a lot of things about electrics and about myself. And by the way, English is my second language, so I was a bit scared that I will be struggling to communicate with my assessor but it wasn’t the case as he was patient enough with me, so if English is not your first language don’t let that put you off.
Thanks XS!

Hi Husnain, I'm very sorry to hear that you had issues with the Portfolio system. We get a lot of complementary comments from people saying how much they liked it but we appreciate that not everyone is the same and different people have different/preferred ways of learning. We do update and amend out Portfolio System (slightly) from time to time so I will check with Muztaba to get his feedback on what you had problems with. Thank you for sharing your experiences and thank you too for mentioning that Muztaba, your dedicated assessor, was able to help you through your NVQ to completion. All the best.

I've done experience worker nvq with XS training, i had a great experience with the college, they made it very clear and easy to access information and resources, my assessor Tom Simpson was helpful and guided me throughout the NVQ, i gave a 5 star review as XS training made an online portfolio and a lot of videos for users to follow, i am really busy with work but with the resources provided and guidance from the assessor it worked out just fine for me, i would recommend XS training and Tom Simpson for others but the learners need to put on some work and take the NVQ seriously, i will be back for the AM2E as well as i am a happy customer

Doing the experienced worker qualification with XS and they appointed Craig Wiltshire as my assessor. He was absolutely brilliant, he will help you and guide you as much as he can and if you put the work in he will get you over the line. Sign up with XS and ask for Craig as your assessor.

The hole process is very smooth, you can have contact with your assessor or the office whenever you need to. You also get told exactly what you need to upload and on what evidence including the amount of photos required to complete a section.

Xs training 5 stars
So from being in the position of changing training provider to Xs training has been the best decision I’ve made. Previous provider was all time wasting tactics trying to get more money out of you and getting the smallest task done could take months. The absolute opposite can be said for Craig wiltshire, always on the end of the phone weekdays and weekends, with genuine interest and helping to achieve your goals, 5 stars and more from me
