The plastering course was excellent The tour Neil is passionate and a true master of his craft
He has the ability to impart his knowledge and his passion for his craft to the student
The course was run in a very structured manner and examples were given and relevant.
I highly recommend this course
I was a bit apprehensive going into electrical training at age 48. Keith, our tutor, was very helpful and broke everything down, so it was easy to remember. I was good with electrical theory but slow with the practical. Keith was there to guide us all the way; he always had time to help, even when we had already asked the same thing three or more times.He really goes the extra mile to make sure we get through and pass. He is also a bit of a showman and keeps you entertained with his singing. I particularly enjoyed his magician like act when he demonstrated how to saw through SWA cable to release the metal splines. A pleasure to train at Ableskills. Steve Finnegan
Andy was a brilliant tutor, very knowledgeable and professional.
I can’t recommend George highly enough as an electrical installation tutor. Thanks to his excellent teaching, support, and patience, I successfully passed both my Level 2 and Level 3 Electrical Installation qualifications.
George explains even the most challenging topics in a clear and easy-to-understand way, always taking the time to make sure I fully understood the material. His knowledge of the trade, combined with his practical experience, made the lessons engaging and relevant.
He was always approachable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. His guidance gave me the confidence to develop my skills and achieve my qualifications.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and dedicated electrical installation tutor, I would highly recommend George. Thank you for all your help and support!
I'll like to say that this is a very good institution with a well equipped and have very knowledgeable instructors who will help you through your courses, i fully recommend them
Had a great learning experience at able skills the office staff were extremely helpful in helping me decide which courses to undertake to reach my goal. I chose the gold card electrician route as part of my CPD where I gained a lot of knowledge from my tutors as I progressed through the each of the courses. I also undertook the 2391 inspection and testing course which helped me further my role into the electrical industry. I would highly recommend Able skills to anyone looking to get hands on training in the trades industry the staff are extremely helpful and the tutors a fountain of knowledge.
Joe in the plastering course is friendly, best instructor I’ve had in a while that if fully understanding of what people know before the course and helping getting out of habits from other plasterers
I have thoroughly enjoyed the course from start to finish. My instructor, Steve Peters, is an absolute expert in his field—he's an "electrical Jesus"! His knowledge is outstanding, and he goes into every detail, explaining everything clearly and patiently until everyone understands.
I can't thank Steve enough for the support and guidance he gave us throughout electrical gold card journey. His teaching style made learning enjoyable and gave me the confidence to develop my skills.
I also want to thank Able Skills for providing such a professional and supportive learning environment. I genuinely loved my time there and would highly recommend Able Skills to anyone looking to pursue a career in the electrical industry.
Top quality training and tutor. Covered a lot of ground in a short space of time. Very happy with what I have learned in a week and have gained confidence.
Doesn’t assist properly especially those who are back and not friendly bit grumpy .
Andy was great, made me feel very relaxed and very knowledgeable
I did my plumbing NVQ with Matthew and he was great instructor and loved working with him.
I booked a prep day for an electrical course and had a trainer called Steve O, loads of useful information and engaging, biggest compliment i can give is that i attended a prep day at another large training provider that my company had booked, and this was far more useful, thanks steve, i would definately recommend steve at able.

I did Level 2 NVQ I bricklaying with Simon as tutor. Brilliant course with great instruction by Simon who has 40 years of experience for you to tap into. Looking back from day one to the end of the 8 weeks it’s amazing how much you improve and what you become capable of doing. Loved every minute of this course well put together and very hands on. It progresses you gradually developing your skills to completing projects that you’ll see on day one entering the workshop, but quite honestly you’ll probably think are beyond you.
Great course, great teaching, you’ll learn to competently lay bricks and blocks.
Thank you Simon

Ive just completed a part time, combined level 2 and 3 C&G electrical course. Our tutor George ran a great course, fostering a supportive learning experience from himself and amongst us as classmates.
The set up at able skills is reliable and professional, and I’m happily continuing my further electrical qualifications with the firm.
