Disappointing and poorly structured course
The 4-day electrical foundation course left me thoroughly disappointed. While it covers a lot of theory, regulations, and calculations essential for rewiring or similar tasks, it’s far too complex and rushed for a beginners' course. The practical side was frustrating due to worn-out tools and materials—like side cutters that couldn’t strip cables and terminals too damaged for proper connections. Even testing became pointless, as the faulty equipment confused the instructor. Additionally, the lack of engagement from the instructor and the poor structure of the course made learning nearly impossible. At £395, this course didn’t add much to my electrical knowledge; honestly, watching quality YouTube tutorials would be a better investment.

Hi Kevin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
The Electrical Foundation Course is designed as an intensive programme, covering key theory, regulations, and calculations required for those looking to progress into electrical work and further qualifications. Given the amount of content delivered over four days, the pace is necessarily fast, and we always recommend that learners review the course outline and pre-reading materials sent in advance to ensure the course matches their expectations and learning style.
All tools, materials, and testing equipment are checked regularly to ensure they meet training and safety standards. While we appreciate your comments, this is not representative of the usual experience reported by our learners; however, we will look into this.
Our instructors follow a structured syllabus aligned with current regulations and aim to support learners throughout the course. As with any technical training, individual outcomes can vary depending on prior experience, engagement, and expectations.
We understand that this course may not be the right fit for everyone, and we value all constructive feedback as we continue to refine and improve our training provision.
