I'm very tempted to sign up to this however the thing that is worrying me is what happens come December XS training seem to have a good reputation on this forum however looking at their site all other courses seem to be low value i've always avoided online courses and gone the proper college route via evening courses 2330 2/3, 2382 and got my 2391 retake in Dec after failing July. i'am strapped for cash at the moment after investing in various tools and being on apprentice wages so just wary come December these online providers are going to have cash flow issues.

If the worst was to happen is it money down the drain or is there some kind of protection I try to avoid credit cards due to previous debt problems but would consider taking one out if it offered additional protection without a huge extra fee.

Sorry for the rant long crap day but know i need to get this sorted before everything changes again

 

[brucelee]

yes mate last registration is 31 st december
it would probably cost the same at a college if you prefer that route
as a mate iw as doing 2330 lv3 with signed up with the college after i persuaded him to do it as it would be beneficial to him in the near future

good luck mate

 

[brucelee]

also mate Xs dont jsut do electrical quals they do a whole host of quals so doubt they will run out of cash come decemeber

Finally bitten the bullet and signed up due to the recommendations on here my assessor is going to be Jamie Gibbs. I have my 2391 exam next Thursday so currently my brain is going numb trying to revise, hopefully to my way to obtaining the final pieces of the JIB jigsaw till they decide to change everything again:banghead:.

jamie was my tutor at college he's a sound guy, you won't go far wrong.

good luck with the 91 as well.

 

[SparkyAndGeorge]

I too have just completed my NVQ3 with XS Training, it took me just over 12 months but that was due to laziness on my part, could have probably completed it in 6 months with a bit more effort. It is hard work getting all the evidence required but the tutors are fantastic and incredibly supportive. My assessor was Jamie who was very helpful and provided invaluable advice and recommendations. I would highly recommend XS Training to anybody considering gaining any qualifications they offer.

 

[Mark1985]

Finally completed my nvq with xs training. Can highly recommend them, Jaime, my assesser was quick to reply to any questions and provided feedback to assist me completing my nvq. Now to apply for my gold card..

 

[m4ttydee]

On finally completing I'd like to thank everyone at Xs training . David Alexis was definitely the man to speak to if you're a sparky and you want to complete any of their courses. I have been a sparky for 10 years but was unfortunate in getting an apprenteship so all my qualifications I have done myself apart from my level 2 and 3 which was done at college early on. It took me a while to complete the nvq but that's because I worked on my own for sometime and struggled with photos.

But after completing I know it could be done at quite a quick pace. All down to you but the support from assessors is fantastic. Jamie Gibbs was my assessor and was quick at responding and very helpful. Obviously wants to help you get through the course and create the best portfolio possible. It's a very simple and straight set up online , everything is there for you.

At the time of starting this nvq I was struggling a little and David helped out and agreed I could pay in 2 payments and the value for money was by far the best. I did shop around and Xs training was the best price , but it was David's attitude to help me that steered me to taking my nvq up with Xs training.
I would highly recommend for quality and value to any training sparkys and directors of companies for their own lads to train up with.

Thanks again Jamie and David.

I have been working on this industry for far to long, and acheiving the 2356 NVQ level 3 through XS training Ltd. has been a joy, the web site is so up to date with information guide and help which make it very helpfull, but most important is the staff ( David and Stuart ) with their knowledge and experience they will assist on the phone or via email with any enquiry I had, it was a massive boost to complete this course on time.
Will recomend to anyone.
Thanks guys.

 

[stuart1234]

Just completed 2356 Level 3 - got it just before shut off deadline. Used Xs Training - excellent set up - one file software is good (doesn't take long to become familiar with the way it works) - Jamie and David were very helpful - made you think about your answers but gave constructive comments to guide you. Always responded quickly.
Would certainly do another course with XS - would recommend this organisation
Many thanks

 

[Flakey]

I have recently completed the NVQ 2356 with XS Training. I took a little time getting off the starting blocks as i enrolled in 2013 but had only just got around to getting myself in gear. My assessor was Paul and he was very helpful and knowledgable and was the right person to help me get through the NVQ. I would highly recommend XS Training.
Thanks again!

 

[Jamesmarsden83]

Just completed my NVQ 2356 with XS Training and I could not speak any more highly of them. My assessor was David Alexis who was very supportive and put a lot of work into my NVQ. I was also able to spread the cost of the NVQ which was a massive help. The onefile online portfolio is brilliant and so easy to use. Any questions i may have had were answered instantly even late in evenings. After being in the trade for 15 years i am now finally eligible for my JIB gold card which is such a massive weight off my shoulders. If you are thinking of doing the electrical NVQ i could not recommend XS Training any more highly. Thanks again!

 

[Sibo14]

Just like to add another quick review of XS training after completing my NVQ3 2357. Took around 7 months to complete, Online portfolio system was user friendly and support from assessors was very good. Based on my experience I would not hesitate to recommend XS training.

 

[Deyan]

I've Just finished my NVQ3 with XS Training. It tuck me less than 4 months and it was very easy because all been online. My assessor David from XS Training was really supportive and helpful. He was available even with short notice like the day before the task. I have already recommended XS Training to my colleague and friends. Many thanks Deyan

 

[banny07]

I have finished my NVQ3 with XS training and highly recommend them. My dream of getting gold card will come true now . just got the message "Congratulations on completing your NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation.

We have now claimed your certificate and this should arrive at our offices within the next two weeks. Once we have received your certificate we will upload a copy to your portfolio and then post the original certificate out to you recorded delivery. Please ensure that your profile has an up to date address and postcode."
My assessor Jamie was very supportive from beginning answer my questions.
Many thanks to Jamie and all the XS training team.

 

[Carl_C]

Finally completed my NVQ Level 3 with XS training.
Took me the full duration to complete (due to work and personal commitments changing) however found XS to be supportive and helpful in accomodating this.

Would highly recommend (and already have) to anyone considering any training courses.

Thanks to Jamie, Stuart and David at XS Training for your help through my NVQ.

Merry Christmas all.

Carl

 

[nowaypedro]

Just completed the NVQ with XS training. Whole thing is very straightforward with their great online portfolio system. David provides great level of support where necessary. Would recommend this training provider to those that need/want this qualification.

Thanks to all at XS, Pete Mills

 

[Joshua]

My name's Joshua Steel and I finished my NVQ in November. I finished college back in 2011 with everything apart from the NVQ Level 3 completed. I got a job as a mate and after gaining a few years experience decided to do the NVQ. I knew 2 colleagues who had used them before and they both said it was a lot of work but relatively easy if you know what you're doing. I want to thank Jamie for being my assessor with always replying to my site Diaries quickly or if it had been a few days he'd send a message explaining why. He's a true credit to the company.
So if you're a little worried about using XS Training then have confidence that they'll make the whole process of getting qualified as straight forward as can be.
I wholeheartedly recommend any spark out there to use them over a college that might cost you time off work and more money.

Just got my NVQ 3 cert through a few days ago. I opted for the assessor built portfolio due to being busy with work and having a pregnant wife and toddler to look after. I found XS staff very helpful and always answered emails in a timely manner. I found it easy to upload photos of my work (I predominantly work with 3phase installations so it was easy to get the evidence) as well as drawings, risk assessments and method statements from the electrical contractor. I would certainly recommend them if you need to get your NVQ.

 

[mambo]

Completed my MBA with Xstraining. I would recommend them as they were helpful, understand, responded to my inquire.
Thanks Stuart, Martyn for the assistance

[j s i]

Just completed my NVQ with XS training, assessor built portfolio.
Well worth the additional cost for my assessor Paul, to put the portfolio together.
Just get evidence throughout your normal daily work and upload the the pictures to the OneFile, then have a video call to discuss the job you've done.
As you get further along, your assessor tells you the areas you're lacking evidence, and you can focus on that and not waste time getting repeat evidence that you don't need.
Paul was very supportive and encouraging, I've already recommended XS to a colleague looking to do the NVQ.

Great, thanks. And is there an 18th update course/exam to suit someone with the 17th already, or does the exam always have to include everything.

 

[XS Training]

Great, thanks. And is there an 18th update course/exam to suit someone with the 17th already, or does the exam always have to include everything.

There is no update exam for the 18th and you will need to sit the full two hour exam.

 

[DPG]

There is no update exam for the 18th and you will need to sit the full two hour exam.

No problem, thanks for confirming. Will hopefully be in touch soon to book it.

Please; when people are chatting about electrical training and courses, can you make sure you're all being professional and awesome. As you'd expect to find such discussions on such a wicked good forum. Please.

Cheeeeeers.

Just gonna give it one of these because we can now. That is all.

Was it something I said????

Was it something I said????

To be fair I didn't understand any of it. And it was years ago.

But for a fair bump into current discussion, not knowing the trade, I think I did okay. Especially as you replied also.

 

[Suhailmahmood]

Was recommended xs training by somebody who did their nvq with these guys, and I wasn’t let down can honestly say xs training definitely go the extra mile to help you achieve the nvq. Had great support from from the tutors. Will definitely be recommending xs training to anyone looking to carry out an electrical nvq. Will also recommend the gold package + 18th edition with xs training as it includes the am2 preparation course and the 18th edition course, which are great quality courses at affordable prices. Passed my 18th and am2 first time with these courses so I highly recommend choosing xs as your training provider.
Hope this review helps.

Welcome to the forum.
That review almost sounds like an advert.

 

[Mike Johnson]

Must admit I was a bit dubious about it, until I realised it was one of our advertisers on here and gave the poster the benefit of the doubt that they where involved.

 

[XS Training]

Hi DPG and Mike Johnson,

This is an honest review and is in no way advertising etc, you can see our reviews on our FaceBook and Google reviews and elsewhere on Electricians Forum etc ...

Whenever a candidate completes the NVQ etc we send them an email asking if they would like to review their experience and provide a link to Electricians Forum, Facebook and Google. Many people do not take the time to provide such reviews so we are truly grateful for those that take the time to do so...

Hi Suhail,

Thank you so much for taking the time out to provide a review of your experience with XS Training Ltd. We are pleased that we were able to help you achieve your NVQ, AM2 and ultimately, your JIB gold card. Thanks again for the review and for choosing XS Training Ltd.

 

[M4rtyj]

I also did my NVQ with Xs training too, did it in 6 months.
Had to take loads of photos of 3 different jobs and testing etc.
Then there were professional discussions at the end of each unit with Jay the assessor.
XS were great and were always there to help.
I also paid for the AM2 training videos which were Brill and gave an insight in what to expect.
I would recommend definitely.

 

[Vova]

I am satisfied with all my experience related to XS Training LTD. Excellent service, good communication, full support.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to get the best training with NVQ 3.

 

[Ben Murray]

Great service, easy to follow instructions, worked with me throughout the process & they answered any questions I had! I would highly recommend using XS due to the remote observations! Can't thank them enough!
