Hello Shakey.

Re your previous comments on several posts concerning our EAL part P course. I'm assuming your probably a competitor of ours.

However for the information of any genuine person considering our centre for their training. I think it worth sharing with you our most recent EAL inpectors report.
He stated only 4 weeks ago, and has similarly done so consistently since we started running Part P. I quote "Tradeskills4u continues to perform well delivering excellent quality EAL qualifications, they take quality control very seriously"
Perhaps worth mentioning we were the first centre to prepare inexperienced people before the Part P course by introducing the foundation course, it not only includes lots of practical testing practice, it ensures people are prepared well for the Part P.

Your right Shakey when you say " you pays your money, you takes your choice"
'That's why we're the No.1 electrical training centre in the South East'. Not my words. EAL 's Dept Head .

Regards
Carl Bennett

Hi, Been looking at the level 2 & 3 2330 course with these. Has anybody done this course with them? if so how was it? Would be grateful for any feedback on this as I have only found reviews on other courses by tradeskills4u i.e 17th edition part p etc.

Thanks

This sounds good.

I have been thinking about doing there domestic installer course, get a job in this field again (have some previous experiance) then once I have my hand in again look to do my c&g 2330 (but ill do at collague maybe, not a slate on ts4u, just a location thing for me)

I have just completed my Part P, Inspections and Testing and 17th Ed at Tradeskills4U and having initially had my doubts, these guys are definitely worth every single penny. they are not just there to get their rates up, but to ensure you are well and truly competent. To Steve - thanks for everything.

I have just completed the 13 day multi course, 5 day basic, Part p and then wiring regs. I found the pace quiet intense but I was impressed with the instructors and the facilities.
Yes the tea is awful and parking is a bit of first come first serve but there are parking facilities around the area .
As a recently qualified plumber, NVQ2, I know that even after a 2year course I am not an experienced plumber and that I need to build on my knowledge with pratical experience. It is the same with passing the various exams at Tradeskills I now have the basics to get some experience so I was quite satisfied with the centre and would recommend it to anybody looking to retrain.

I intend to go back to complete some more courses

Do it mate you won't regret it, i didn't. Started in January this year finished in August. Although i had a long old trek everyday 120 miles there and back loved every minute. I did 2330 Lv2 & 3, 17th and building regs.

All the tutors are extremely knowledgeable and really help you to understand things you get stuck on.

Definetley gets a thumbs up from me, is a pukka facility, friendly atmosphere, great tutors and was worth every penny!!

Do it mate..

Hi,

I spent 7 months from Jan to Aug 2009 at Tradeskills in Crawley doing 2330 Level 2 followed by Level 3. Along the way they threw in the C&G 17th Edition and the C&G version of the Building Regs (the C&G version of the EAL VRQ).

I just sat my 2391 - results out mid December 09 and I think it went OK. The 2391 is aimed at people with testing experience but I found that straight after the 2330 Level 3 it was not much harder than a level 3 exam.

In total it cost me about 7K GBP but well worth it in my view. The tutors and teaching facilities are excellent - the coffee machine sucks but there is a great cafe-deli around the corner. Several of the staff came from Crawley College - including the ex head of Electrical and it would be hard to find someone better at teaching the regs and electrical science than him.

If you are serious about electrical work then don't do the 10-day course. After 7 months on 2330 I feel competent to tackle installation and inspection & testing, but you could not possibly learn what you need to know in a 10-day course.

Regards,
Fin

I did the 13 day course a while ago now (seee earlier in this thread) and tried to work on a self employed basis. I found the burden of a regular mortgage payment and advertising costs too much so have had to make some changes. First I now do electrics part time aiming at the domestic market. I can work evenings and weekends which is generally liked. I have had to get another full time job which is in lecturing mechanics as it happens. On top of all this I also do some sports coaching. All these together keep my head above water financially but really don't leave me much in the way of free time.
I don't contribute to the forums as much as I would like to but it is difficult. Hopefully I can move my full time job nearer to home which would help but 3 jobs is a handful for most. Add in time for the kids etc.
Suffice to say I am a member of ELECSA and am currently working part time doing domestic electrics. I have not dropped off the face of the earth and hope to contribute more in the future when life calms down a bit.
Thanks

Good for you, Ian, you obviously have a strong work ethic! You may feel knackered most of the time, but be proud of your achievements. I hope things improve for you - I'm sure they will given time. Just keep sight of your ultimate aim, which presumably is to be a full time electrician with a good reputation (and not having to work all hours).

Crawley - not been before and will need to stay over...

 

[plugsandsparks]

I gave TS4U top marks for their training. Three days and two nights of intensive work but was very structured and the trainer was very good and even helped me out with a tricky installation l was going onto next. Food is either outside with a drive by van or their is a really good burger and bacon butty stand, called Rockets - Bacon and egg sandwich plus cup of tea for £3.30 - bargain. Stayed in the Corner House Hotel single room with a double bed for £35 which was 5 mins drive - double bargain.

 

[Phil]

which one near leeds are you going to and i will recomend somewhere near

 

[beatrixtiff]

Hi all, after reading about how good the bacon sambo's etc are, im sold! ha, only joking.
Seriously though, has anyone done the one day update 17th edition course? Or has any reactions to it?
