Seamless process
After completing my level 3 2365 I looked around to find somewhere to complete my nvq level 3, this can be harder than you think, I came across Elec train and they offer job placement. My experience with Liam on recruitment has been faultless, after many contacts from employers that went no where Liam kept on feeding contacts who will be calling you. I have now had a very positive interview and waiting for a job offer early next week. If I'm not successful I'm sure I will be contacted by Liam with more contacts. The team have given 100% from the start. I have found Elec train to be very impressive and committed and I'm sure once I have secured employment completing the nvq with tutor guidance will be as thorough as the recruitment process. Don't hesitate if your looking to complete your nvq and need work placement,this is the place....

Greatest Teachers Of All Time!
Having worked in hospitality all my life and coming in to do something completely brand new to me, I knew it was gonna be a massive challenge. But all the guys, Neil, Mark and Laethian were all great teachers and very patient with each and every learner. I struggled with confidence quite a bit as lots of other people on the course had some kind of experience in similar trades, but again the guys were always happy to help and now I’ve officially passed my level 2. I could not recommend these guys enough even if I tried! Onto 18th edition next week. Thank you very much lads for kickstarting my new career! - Dan

Good reliable people working to help you get qualified. Signed up in the end of November not the best time as everything is starting to close no one’s looking to take people on but they kept trying until Liam managed to find me something in the beginning of the year. As I said reliable people working there always ready to answer any questions and give you a hand.

You’re absolutely right that signing up towards the end of November can be a challenging time, as many employers slow down over the Christmas period. We’re pleased to hear that despite this, our team continued working with you and that Liam was able to secure a job for you at the start of the new year that aligned with your qualification journey.
At Elec Training, we focus on being reliable, accessible, and supportive throughout the process, from training through to employment, and it’s great to hear that this came across in your experience. Our team is always on hand to answer questions and provide guidance when it’s needed.

5star treatment great staff and recruitment process
I was recommended by a friend to join elec training to gain my nvq in electrics.
I was very dubious at first the cost and wondering if I was going to get a great job to suit my needs, but January 5th I decided to go for it .
Within only a few days of this new calendar year I have been put forward for my first interview with a job offer!
There has been lots of calls from the recruitment team.supporting my needs.
Liam M the recruitment and partnerships officer has gone above and beyond for me, given me 100% confidence that my money was well spent and my future is looking so much better now I have already had a job offer and moving forward with my career thanks to him I’m looking forward to a great year.

Hi Simon,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review, it genuinely means a lot to the whole team at Elec Training.
We understand that committing to an NVQ is a big decision, especially when weighing up cost, time, and whether the opportunity will genuinely move your career forward. It’s great to hear that once you took the step, things progressed quickly and that you’ve already been put forward for interviews and received a job offer so early on.
Our recruitment and partnerships team work hard to make sure learners are supported properly and matched to roles that suit their experience and goals, so it’s reassuring to hear that the regular contact and guidance made a real difference for you. I’ll be sure to pass your feedback on to Liam, he’ll really appreciate it.
We’re pleased you’re feeling confident about your decision and your future, and we look forward to supporting you as you continue your NVQ journey and develop your career further.
Thank you again for choosing Elec Training, and we wish you every success moving forward.
Credits go to Mr Liam
I wrote proper negative review about this centre.
The reason was that they couldn’t provide me the job placement in guaranteed time period. It took around 5 plus months to finally get a placement.
I want to give zero credit to the management team. Because they are very poor at their management. Unless you keep chasing them, they will do something otherwise good luck.
As I get the placement now, I will give this credit to Mr Liam. He worked hard and unstoppable to get me a placement. If the score goes to Liam then I will give him 5 Stars. So for over all I will give the Center 3 Stars.
I want to share couple of my experiences with them.
* Don’t believe what the sales people say you.
* Remember the price of the course is not the same what the sales team say.
There would be £750 extra.
I will break them ( £250 for job placement, £500 for the assessor to visit you on the site)
* The time to get the placement is not true, it could take up to half year to get your first placement.
* The placement is not permanent position. It is a self employed position. It means you will get the job placement through the agencies.
*These jobs placement won’t be for long time. It might be a week or two. Then you have to wait again to get you another position.
For now I got first position after around 5 and half months, and won’t be for long time. So good luck to me for the second position. I don’t know how long it will take to get me another position.
A can believe on Liam now. He is young and hard working mate. I wish if he could get me another position straight after this one done.

Thank you for taking the time to update your review, Talib. We’re glad Liam was able to support you and help move things forward with your placement. We’ll make sure your comments are passed on to him.
We’re sorry to read that the process took longer than you expected and that you felt communication and expectations around the placement could have been clearer. We understand how important paid site experience is when working towards the NVQ, and we do take this feedback seriously.
We can’t go into individual learner details publicly, but we would welcome the chance to review the points you’ve raised properly, including the placement process, timescales and any cost concerns. Please contact the centre directly so the relevant manager can look into this with you.
We wish you all the best with your current placement and the next stage of your electrical career.
Best training company by far..
Best training company by far..
After gaining valuable qualifications (level 2 and 3, 18th and 2391) I was finding it quite difficult to get employment/placement to start my NVQ.. After reading all the excellent reviews about this company I thought I'd join them as it stated they find you employment (Have their own employment section) and help you get through your NVQ... After only a short amount of time Elec training managed to find me that placement and I couldn't be happier, I seem to be on the right track for a bright future and I'm buzzing!! A big shout out to Joshua ( I owe you) for finding me work and giving me that faith..
Thank you again... Leon

Despite being based in Stockport, I was placed with a local company and can now start working towards my NVQ. A big thank you to all the trainers who supported me in achieving my Level 2, Level 3, and 18th Edition qualifications.
And a special thanks to Laethian, Tom and Josh for all putting a lot of effort in to help me pass the course's and find work placement. Laethian was a great tutor for my level 2 and made the course easy to follow, Josh went above and beyond with helping find work placement local and with a good electrcial company carrying out commercial and domestic work, He also kept me updated throughout. Tom stepped in to help us with our level 3 and was really knowledgeable and helpful in getting through the course.

Great staff
I recently completed my level 2 & 18th edition with Elec Training, and really enjoyed it. All the trainers that I had were perfect, they managed to get me from being a complete beginner, to doing a final build that I was proud of. They offer support constantly, knowledge and go above and beyond to teach you.
Aside from the teachers, my original course consultant Mike was everything I needed. Offering support before I started, to even now checking how I’m doing and what I’m getting up to. If I had a question - even about what to wear - he always came back to me. He kept me motivated and supported me throughout my final week and had 100% faith in me even when I had small doubts. Being a female and going through training was daunting, but having Mike as my number 1 cheerleader (with Neil, Laeth & Malc in joint second) helped massively. They were all great and my experience was very positive.

Thank you so much for your incredible review, it means a lot to the whole team. We’re delighted you enjoyed your Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installations (C&G 2365-02) and 18th Edition Wiring Regulations courses, and that the training helped you go from complete beginner to confidently completing your final build.
Mike, Neil, Laeth, and Malcolm will be thrilled to hear your kind words. It’s fantastic that Mike’s continued support kept you motivated and confident throughout the journey, he’ll be especially proud to know how much that meant.
We’re also really pleased to hear that you felt supported as a female learner in the trade. Creating an inclusive and encouraging environment is something we care deeply about at Elec Training, and your success shows exactly why that matters. Congratulations on your progress so far, we can’t wait to see what you achieve next!

There isn't any short cut ways becoming electrician in the UK at all especially with your funding why Because you will just end up with frustrating, regret with all fake promises made to you out there!!
I would love to share my experience a few years back with this trainee provider! So I had already completed electrical theory to advanced level before it however I can't find work experience onsite hence I sign up for the course when I saw that provider had ability to support learners to find work and enable them to do NvQ therefore completed the course sound great isn't it however I found it hard to believe when I sign up the course that they can't help you find work and the fee I was agreed wasn't simply allowed me to do what I was going to do which was the NVq instead the fee was just to complete level three advanced courses which I had already done it and provided full certificate for it!!
Here's the disappointment after all this and I attended the training two days and wanted to withdraw and asked my refund since they didn't meet my expectation holly shit after so many weeks up down they did refund it however they took about 300 hundred pound for attended two days and got nothing from it however when I Sign up the course I had the right to withdraw anytime and get refund. This is true my best knowledge hence before its too late learn from others and avoid such thing

Hi Hagas,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are sorry to hear you feel disappointed, though we do want to make sure the facts are clear for anyone reading, as your experience relates directly to regulated UK qualification rules that neither you nor Elec Training can override.
Before enrolling, we explained several times, by phone and email, that a degree in Electrical Engineering does not replace or contribute towards the City & Guilds 2365-03 qualification especially with no ENIC approval. This was also confirmed directly by City & Guilds and by the awarding-body guidance. To progress to the NVQ Level 3 (2357), all learners must complete the full 2365-03 unless they meet very specific criteria, which was not the case here.
You later chose to enrol on the 2365-03 course with Elec Training, after all of this was discussed and confirmed. Three days into the course, you requested to withdraw. We honoured that request and refunded your fees in line with the contract you signed.
The only deduction was an admin fee and City & Guilds registration fee, which is a non-refundable cost once a learner is officially registered with the awarding body. This is standard across all accredited centres, this was explained during enrolment and covered in the contract you signed.
Regarding expectations about work placements and NVQ progression: the NVQ can only begin once a learner has completed the full 2365-02 and 2365-03 (or decided to go down a different route ie experienced workers route or apprenticeship), and has secured access to an appropriate workplace (which as you know personally we support 100s of students each year to do) .
We genuinely tried to support you throughout, and we are sorry the qualification route in the UK didn’t match the shortcut you were hoping for. If you would like us to go back through the guidance, or if you need help understanding the correct pathway to becoming a qualified electrician, we are more than happy to speak with you.
You can reach us directly at enquiries@elec.training so we can assist you properly.
