Overall experience with Tradeskills4u.

In 2023 I completed my 2365-03 qualification at Tradeskills4u. My journey with them was very pleasant. Facilities at Gatwick centre where I completed my training are of top of the line quality with very helpful and friendly staff.
Currently I decided to continue my journey to become fully qualified electrician and that is why I signed up for NVQ part with Tradeskills4u.

Tradeskills4U (Gatwick) is an excellent skills training institution. From the very first day I started my Level 1 in Electrical Installation, I knew that this institution was the perfect one to gain full training in Electrical Installation. The Learning facilities there are first-class; the atmosphere and general environment is quite conducive for learning. Tutors are extremely professional and make skills training seemingly easy. They will go above and beyond to ensure the success of each candidate who enters that institution. I am currently enrolled to undertake the Level 3 Diploma in Electrical Installation and I will continue to attend this institution until I have gained full qualification in the said skill area.

Nikki Ross A*

I had the pleasure of speaking with Nikki Ross today, to book my course. Nikki is an absolute breathe of fresh air and is a perfect example of hour customer service should be. Not only was she very informative, Nikki took the time for a little chat.
Excellent representation for any company

chaotic scheduling, weak communication, under-resourced practical

Finished 2365-02 on 16 Dec 2025. I chose TradeSkills4U based on reviews, but my experience did not match at all.

Issues I experienced: unclear expectations, a poorly structured schedule (practical before enough theory, then time spent repeating theory already covered during practical), lack of tools/equipment, and weak customer service. My schedule was incomplete, and communication was inconsistent and often payment-driven including calls during class time.

I also had problems around scheduling/training support: my 18th Edition was rescheduled because I missed the start date, and I was told I wasn’t capable of catching up (missed it because it wasn't included in the schedule nor any comms). That is not an acceptable way to handle adult learners, support and clear options should be provided instead of dismissive messaging.

The tutors (John/Steven/Brandon) did their very best with limited resources, but the overall delivery felt constrained by poor planning and resourcing. I self-funded this course and, for me, it was a waste of time and money. I would not recommend this provider unless they urgently improve planning, communication, and on-site resources.

PAT Testing

Regarding the Inservice inspection and testing of electrical equipment (PAT Testing) course -

I attended the course with this provider and unfortunately had a very poor experience. Despite failing the assessment three times, I was given no constructive feedback or guidance on what I was doing wrong. Without clear explanations, it’s impossible to improve or demonstrate competence.

Training should be about building skills and confidence, but instead I felt unsupported and left in the dark. The lack of feedback suggests the provider is more interested in pass/fail numbers than genuinely helping learners succeed.

I would strongly recommend choosing a training company that offers proper learner support, clear feedback, and guidance, especially for those new to PAT testing. This course did not meet those standards.

Hello Joseph,

Thank you for your review. Following contact with our Customer Care team, we completed a full review of your booking and provided both yourself and your employer with a detailed response. We have not received any further communication from you regarding the concerns raised.

Your course was booked online by your employer. At the time of booking, we advise candidates with limited or no electrical experience to add our optional PAT Testing eLearning module, which provides additional foundational support; this was not included with your booking.

Further details were shared during our call, which had not been indicated prior to booking or during your time in centre. If we had been aware earlier of these, we could have possibly arranged reasonable adjustments. We spoke with our centre to understand whether any concerns had been raised during your time with us and were advised no feedback had been submitted through the channels provided. Engagement with the virtual learning resources were also limited, despite these being key to exam preparation.

While we understand your disappointment with the exam outcome, we were not given the opportunity to provide support you during or after the course. For this reason, we were surprised by the review left.

We remain committed to supporting our learners and welcome further discussion should you wish to contact us.

Kind regards
Stacey
