What Our Students Say About Us:

I would like to thank Tom for the adjustments made throughout the 18th edition course for a course participant who required language support. Nothing was too much trouble, the facilities, course materials and training were outstanding. Well done.

"Having recently completed the Domestic Electrical Installer course I would like to say how knowledgeable and friendly all the staff are (tutors and office staff). I have my Stroma assessment next week to join their competent person scheme and feel well prepared. I am returning at the end of the week to do the Electric Vehicle charging course so I can offer that service to my customers in the future."

The lecturers went above and beyond to ensure we understood the course and methods. Amazing place with very down to earth staff. I couldn’t recommend the place more
