I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor than Johnell. His knowledge of the DEA course was outstanding, and he explained even the more complex topics in a way that was easy to understand. He was patient, supportive, and always happy to answer questions, making sure everyone felt confident before moving on.

Johnell created a relaxed and encouraging learning environment, and his real-world experience added great value to the course. Thanks to his excellent teaching, I have almost finished the course feeling well prepared and much more confident in carrying out Domestic Energy Assessments. I would highly recommend Skill Max Academy & Johnell to anyone considering the DEA course.

DEA training ( Training instructor -Jhonell)

Jhonell,

You’ve been an amazing instructor. The entire session has been really, really helpful. Jhonell is always thoughtful and thorough in the way that he's approached training me and the class also very patient with helping to make sure we understand in the sessions.

Very on hand, even out of class hours, he will always support, check in after explaining stuff to make sure we understand. It's been a really, really good experience being trained by him. I will recommend him over and over

kills Max were extremely helpful in providing clear information about the course and the registration requirements, ensuring that the enrolment process was straightforward and well supported.

The DEA and Retrofit course itself was both interesting and insightful, providing valuable knowledge about domestic energy assessment, retrofit measures and sustainability. The course tutor, Jhonell, is highly knowledgeable and has a great ability to make the content relatable and engaging. His teaching style encourages participation and helps bring real-world context to the subject matter, making the learning experience both enjoyable and informative.

Overall, I would highly recommend the course to anyone interested in developing a career in domestic energy assessment and sustainability.

I’m a current DEA student

I’m a current DEA student, and Jhonnel has been an outstanding tutor. His enthusiasm, clarity, and depth of knowledge set him apart from tutors at even the most expensive schools. The detailed materials he provides are invaluable, and his ability to simplify complex topics makes learning genuinely enjoyable.

I’ll share more feedback once I complete the course, but for now — thank you, Jhonnel. Keep up the great work.

The best tutor and academy i ever had. Glad i found them.

I had an excellent experience with Skill Max Academy and couldn’t recommend them more highly. From start to finish, the team was professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed as a Domestic Energy Assessor.

A special mention goes to Jhonnel, who is an outstanding tutor. His knowledge of the industry is exceptional, and he explains everything in a clear, practical, and easy to understand way. He was always patient, approachable, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we fully understood each part of the course. His guidance and encouragement really boosted my confidence and made the learning experience enjoyable.

Thanks to Jhonnel and Skill Max Academy, I now feel well prepared and confident in pursuing my career as a Domestic Energy Assessor. I’m truly grateful for the support I received and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality training in this field.

this is a review from the bottom of my heart about SMA and the course I have just completed.

The entire team has been incredibly supportive, always willing and keen to help whenever needed.

I would especially like to mention the tutors, and in particular Jhonnel. He is a true professional with a great attitude, always approachable and very helpful. The way he teaches and explains each topic makes everything easy to understand and follow.
