What makes us the right choice?

Firstly, we present great facilities. Our facilities are packed full of tools and equipment, you will not need to bring anything with you, we provide everything. We also give our students their own space to work in individually. We present a space for students to learn and develop in that is as close to a real, on-site environment as possible. Guided by our instructors we aim to give you space to learn in a controlled environment. The best way to learn is to get involved, that is why we aim to be as hands-on as possible with our tiling courses.

We also present industry-recognised qualifications. There are many governing bodies out there and you want to be making sure that you are gaining a valuable award for your efforts. Our tiling courses result in City & Guilds qualifications which are highly viewed by the industry. Able Skills is an accredited centre securing approval to deliver qualification training from City & Guilds and BPEC, for Electrical training, we are also an IET Centre of Excellence. Making us a great choice when looking to gain qualifcations that will actually help you to start a successful career. Do not buy into the hype of short courses and opt for quick ways to gain training as they could result in meaningless awards.

Additionally, we are very flexible when it comes to how students pay for their courses and how they train with us. We allow students to pay in weekly instalments instead of up-front and we allow for alternative training options such as taking courses solely over a series of weekends. When we return to business as usual, we will be ramping up our ability to provide training over the weekend and in the week by hiring additional staff to get everybody back on track with their courses!
