Leep Trade Avis 

Been Training here all week on a Poly Phase course and the experience was perfect. Very laid back from the back room staff to the tutor. My tutor was Mark who has a wealth of knowledge (he's been there!). Invaluable tips and and advice for any company looking to train their engineers to the highest level. Thankyou guys. See you next time 👍

Fantastic training and great mentor very knowledgeable and helpful
Can’t recommend these guys enough especially mark our 3 phase trainer

I’ve been to ECTA 3 times for courses. Single phase, Multi phase, 3 Phase and ACS renewals. Every time I’ve been there it has been top class.

Mark the trainer was excellent with getting the information across clearly and was very helpful throughout the courses.

I would highly recommend using ECTA

Came from a background of no hands on DIY skills or previous experience in a Tradesmen job being honest I didnt know one end of the spanner from the other! But the training at ECTA is brilliant, there patient and understanding take the time to help and genuinely want people to do well couldn't pick a better place to learn a new skill! Mark and Hannah are fantastic teachers and make it fun to learn, all the office staff are really friendly and helpful and Molly is brilliant at getting your portfolio together! Great experience well recommended

Have been attending ECTA on a commercial catering apprenticeship. The centre is well laid out. There is a large practical area (covering a wide range of trades), workshop, computer rooms and class rooms. The facilities are good and kept clean.
The trainers are very knowledgeable and share lots of real work experiences and examples. Discussions are open and constructive.
Great place to study and learn new skills.
Lots of information and support readily available.

Completed 3 phase course.
Mark the trainer , centre manager is a credit to the business. He delivers the course in a down to earth manner.No such thing as a stupid question.
Spot On !

Attended for 3phase course.
Trainer and centre manager Mark up there with the most knowledgeable and experienced trainers/engineers I’ve met. More importantly really engaging in the way the course is delivered and educational learnt a lot from this course. Thanks a lot Mark.

Great week at ECTA training center this week. Attended for the 3 Phase metering course. Mark J was a great trainer and made it fun and taught me a lot about 3 Phase metering. They have many courses available at the center and would recommend to others. Now 3 phase qualified! Great job ECTA! Thank you

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO MARK THE MANAGER, HE IS AN AMAZING GUY AND A EXCELLENT TRAINER. NOT ONLY DID I GAIN MY 3 PHASE QUALIFICATION, I ALSO HAD ALLOT OF FUN! THANK YOU ECTA.

I came up to Stockport for week to do 3 phase, well structured course with plenty of practical training, mark is a great guy, very funny and makes the week fun, other courses I’ve been on are basically death by PowerPoint but this is totally different, if you want some training In a relaxed but very good quality training center then Ecta is the place to be, thanks guys

Very well structured course. Repeat visit on re-assessments and fully recommend centre to gas engineers requiring ACS accreditation.

Don't even know where to start, the staff in ECTA training are amazing! I came in knowing nothing about electric and gas, after leaving ECTA I can happily say that I am confident in my work. They've helped out so much while I was there and I definitely would recommend any course!

The teachers and the Main office was very helpful and they really try their best to help and encourage you. I would definitely recommend YOU to do your training here. I was with them for 8 weeks and I wish I could stay for another 8 weeks lol even tried to fail but they that good it’s impossible. Learned a lot and left that building with alot of confidence and knowledge. Honestly Thank you for everything. 3 Musketeers

Recently completed an electric three phase course with MARK JARMAN at ECTA.
Firstly I’d like to point out that all the staff at ECTA are absolutely Fantastic. From the cleaner to office staff to the trainers, everyone is always positive and bubbly and genuinely good craic. My trainer mark is a credit to the business, he has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is a very approachable guy. He delivers his training in a professional and understanding manner and there is no such thing as a stupid question. Iv thoroughly enjoyed this course, learnt a lot and look forward to my 3rd visit in the near future.

Best wishes

This training centre is fantastic, lots of courses to choose from. The smart meter installer course I did was delivered superbly by Evie. The rest of the staff are so friendly and helpful too. I hope to return in the future. Many thanks!

Very professional training centre.
Great trainers that make you feel at home.
Recommend this training centre to everyone.

Great training, professional level and lot of friendly people, very happy to be there 6 weeks gone so fast.

Having now completed my training qualification in smart metering and successfully passed, I can honestly say that the training team have proven that they are all enthusiastic within their training roles and including the back office, and all will do their very best to overcome any unexpected obstacles encountered during your time at their training establishment and during the six weeks away on the mentoring phase of training.
I have undertaken numerous work related courses over recent years both paid (renew or lose qualifications) and employer sponsored and can normally judge which trainers just "want to tick boxes" and finish the week off and those that have some sort of genuine interest in their subject.
I am happy to say that the E.C.T.A. team fall into the latter category.
You get what you pay for in training courses..Accepted I could have saved a small difference on a similar training course arrangement down in the south east with just a tick boxing exercise but not had any back up when a none E.C.T.A. training issue complicates things. Not to mention willingness to answer all questions thrown at them.
Well done team ECTA..
Looking forward to attending another training unit with them next summer.

I’ve been coming to ECTA for nearly 10 years now. Re-sitting my gas quals and more recently completing a level 4 in gas safety management.
Not a bad word to say, top bunch of people who make learning easy!

It is encourageing to read such glowing reports about ECTA training at Stockport who also help finding a suitable employer for their graduates. I believe the current cost for training & quaifying to install SMART METERS is some £7,440.00. However there is a saying "if it seems to good to be true - IT USUALLY IS". This statement deserves some explanation, NO NAMES - NO PACKDRILL. I know someone who is eminently qualified to retrain for a new career as a SMART METER INSTALLER but has been waiting to be placed by ECTA on one of their SMART METER courses since last December 2020 when he was successfully interviewed & passed a colour blind test approved by an independent qualified Optician. He has been dealing direct with a particular member of staff who has consistantly strung him along each month asking him to get back the following month to date with negative results. This month October 2021 he once again telephoned this ECTA member of staff only to get his answer machine but was then prompted to contact ECTA'S office number whereupon he discovered this male had left ECTA's employment in January 2021. Without knowing more detail about this person who has masqueraded as an employee of ECTA since January 2021 I cannot comment further but as a retired Police Officer a number of thoughts spring to mind. This person i know has been assured by another member of staff at ECTA that they will continue to first seek out an employer germane to the applicants post code address prior to arranging for him to undergoe their training course. To date ECTA have not come back with any progress they have made or update! A depressing state of affairs for someone currently unemployed and trying very hard to retrain for a new career!
