Able Skills Construction Training Avis 

Just completed the Intro to Carpentry course with AbleSkills. A weeks intensive which moves through the basics of carpentry, joinery and left me feeling move confident with the tools and woodworking fundamentals.
A great starting point for anyone thinking about getting involved in anyway.
Big shout out to the instructor, David. Who was on hand the whole week to showcase his experience and industry knowledge through demos and guidance in my own work.

I recently completed the 5-day Introduction to plastering course at Able Skills and had a brilliant experience. Huge thanks to Joe and Neil—they are fantastic instructors, incredibly knowledgeable, and patient. The course is very practical with plenty of hands-on experience, and I left feeling fully confident to tackle my own plastering projects. Highly recommended!

A big thank you to Simon and Martin for making me feel so welcome throughout the bricklaying course. Both are great instructors who clearly know their stuff, and I’ve learnt a lot from them. They give constructive criticism in the right way, helping you understand where you can improve and how to do things better. After all, that’s what learning is all about! Would highly recommend them both. 👍

I spent a week on Introduction to Bricklaying as part of the Handyman Course and loved it. Martin is a brilliant coach and despite the hugh amount to learn in a week my improvement from the first day to the last was massive.

Great hands on training. Plenty of guidance from Glenn and Mark. Always available for questions. Highly Recommended!

I've completed the course with alot of knowledge to take with me on my future jobs

Highly recommended. An intensive week of both Carpentry and Joinery. Using hand tools only, a really great way to get used to using the tools properly. Great structure to the weeks activities. Out tutor (Dave) is very experienced and is patient when demonstrating and critiquing work.

I enrolled on the combined Level 2 & 3 Electrical course. Unfortunately the teaching style was not suitable for me — technical terms were used without clear explanation, and I struggled to follow the material.

I raised my concerns during week 2 (day 6) the trainer laughed at me. I immediately withdrew from the course as I felt I wasn't learning effectively. I am now being asked to pay the full outstanding balance despite not completing the training and not receiving the standard of education I expected.

I have tried to resolve this directly with the centre but we have not reached an agreement. I believe the service fell below the standard reasonably expected under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Pros: Administrative staff were polite.
Cons: Training delivery not suitable for beginners; inflexible when raising concerns; billing dispute ongoing.Avoid this training centre.

Glenn is a legend! Great teacher and even greater taste in good music! He motivates and keeps the vibes up!

Very very happy with the training, teaching, and guidance I received here

I went through many courses before. And will defenitly say that Glenn is one of the best instructors that i Have had to date.
Did the short wallpaper intro course, was expecting it to be hard and struggle alot, Glenn made it easy and showed me alot of tips and trick through his Years of experience and now i really enjoy doing wallpaper. The overall experience was amazing and welcoming

I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to you and your team. The tutors here are truly exceptional—they are knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and always go above and beyond to help every student understand and progress. Their dedication, kindness, and commitment make such a positive difference to the learning experience. I feel so lucky to be taught by such wonderful people, and I truly appreciate all they do. Thank you so much!

Your patience you have to teach is marvelous.

I started able skills with extremely little knowledge of any trade. After my 6 week handy man course, I learnt so much while building my confidence up. Would highly recommend for any one that wants to learn a multitude of trades.

All round good experience at Able Skills.
Booking process was smooth and efficient and was able to flex to my requirements.
Classrooms, infrastructure, routine and instruction was all to a high standard.
I came to the course through ELCAS, would highly recommend to anyone looking at this institution.

“I had a great experience with Able Skills Construction Training. The staff were friendly, professional and very helpful. The instructions were clear, and the training was well organised and practical. I would definitely recommend Able Skills to anyone looking to improve their construction skills.”

Able skills set up is great, the different trades on offer is wide and the range of potential qualifications from introduction to NVQ level is extremely useful. I took a week long introduction in painting and decorating and have left the course in a more positive mindset to approach wallpapering and different painting jobs at home. Mark my instructor was very knowledgable and patient. Thanks

My entire experience in AbleSkills was truly wonderful, I did the Leve 2 &3 Electrical installation course, and I enjoyed every moment, i got to be around lot of amazing and motivating people. And the tutors were the best , George, Robert and John, they were truly brilliant and wonderful people, they showed so much care, patience and guidance. If you are considering AbleSkills look no further, this place is the best decision you can make

Finished my NVQ Level 2 plumbing and heating with Able Skills. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without my assessor Matthew he helped me out a lot! Would recommend :)
