Below is feedback from people who have attended our plumbing related courses.  All feedback forms from everyone who completes our courses are available at the centre.

What I liked about the college was: Friendly staff & tutors, enough space to work in, provision of all tools and materials needed, facilities.  The most interesting was practical – seeing and doing things for yourself.  The most useful were classroom activities to back it up and test knowledge.  Darren Sharp, Plumbing and heating course

The college is a friendly place focused on ensuring that the learner experience is enjoyable, understandable and transferable from the classroom to the workplace.  Although a novice in plumbing I did not feel at a disadvantage and the tutor was skilful in adapting his approach to accommodate the varying skill levels of his students.  This has been a tremendous experience.  the practical exercises have provided an excellent simulation of likely scenarios in the workplace and home.  The tutoring style is such that every student is encouraged to give it a go without worrying about getting it wrong and learning in a positive way through mistakes.  D Martin, Plumbing and heating course

As a teacher in the road haulage industry I am familiar with various teaching techniques.  i thought that the tutor on this course excelled in every sense.  The planning, delivery, knowledge, materials were excellent.  Simon Hackney, Plumbing and heating course

I just wanted to send you a thank you especially Alan Marshall who was our tutor!!!  I started a plumbing course on 10th December 2012 with very little experience or knowledge of plumbing and by the end of the course could plumb in a bathroom and fit a central heating system……without Alans considerable expert knowledge and teaching methods there is no way that I could have done this!!!!  So just a huge thank you to the college and in particular to Alan Marshall……  Wishing you a very Merry Xmas and a happy new year!  Regards  Chris Pryor, Plumbing Course

Mr North, Plumbing course

Excellent instruction.  I did not expect to learn as much in a two week course.  Colin Richardson, Plumbing course

I have just completed the 2 week plumbing course under the guidance and tuition of Alan Marshall.
I’d like to take this opportunity to say how delighted I am with the quality of the course and the knowledge I have gained from it. I feel the main reason for this is without doubt the level of commitment shown by course tutor Alan Marshall. Alan has a depth of knowledge with all aspects of plumbing that is second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. If anyone on the course had any difficulties, Alan was always at hand to talk them through things and guide them along until they understood.  Upon completion of the various modules in the course, it was extremely rewarding to stand back and appreciate that I myself had actually done the work. Something I would not have believed possible before the course.  Please pass on my kindest regards and huge thanks to Alan for all his help and expert tuition.  Many thanks also to yourself for assisting me when booking on this course, and also to David Hare for arranging these courses. I have every intention of broadening my skills further by attending a plastering course & electrical course in the near future. Maybe even the tilting course !  Sincerely, Bryn Willetts, Plumbing course

The course was extremely well taught and all demonstrations allowed me to understand the theory which had been taught during an excellent course.  Edward Rooke, Plumbing course

Instructors are experienced and knowledgable.  Steve did well to get quite a lot of information across and balance it with the practical side; this helped sustain concentration and interest.  Roger Pearson, Plumbing course

I have just finished off today the two weeks plumbing training course at your wolverhampton centre, I just wanted to let you know this has been far most the best plumbing training course I have ever attended, Very high training standards and value for money.  The tutor Alan Marshall is not just a master of the plumbing trade he is also a phenomenon tutor, he makes learning fun, and the way he portrays his teaching is out of this world, Alan Marshall is not just a Master Plumber he is a Master Tutor, He goes the extra mile to ensure the student has fully understood the full process of plumbing, and ensures each and every student gets individual attention. The amount of plumbing knowledge I have gained with in this two weeks is amazing, I can only only Thank Alan for this .This gentleman is a credit to your company.  I am so pleased with the way I have been trained as a student, I will be looking to booking further courses with your training centre in the very near future, as I have attended colleges in the past and you do not even get the attention or training I have received from your training centre.  Once again I would like to personally thank Alan Marshall (master plumbing tutor) for all what he has done for me.  Kind regards  Shaun Yaqub, Plumbing Course

It is clear that feedback plays an important role in monitoring and evaluating services and I reviewed a large number of feedback questionnaires and analyses which confirmed that you collect feedback and all showed high levels of satisfaction.  Extract from Matrix Assessment Report

I understand how water and heating systems work. The problem solving has been very useful. The tutor had the time to go over things with you if needed and explained things very well. He made the whole course very enjoyable.  Annie Phillips, Plumbing Course

Good class group. I feel confident and my plumbing knowledge has improved. Good course  Ms Bradshaw, Plumbing Course

This course was a valuable investment of my time because I know nothing about plumbing and I prefer to learn in a practical way. The course content was excellent for the basic plumbing – the course covered all you need to know. I have looked into quite a few courses which all seemed expensive or theory orientated.  Mr Halvey,  Plumbing Course

I could complete the required tasks without being rushed. Very informative. I feel confident to complete a plumbing job because I’ve taught the right way to it with greater ease. I will definitely recommend this course to others.  Mr Newbon, Plumbing Course

The course taught me the basics of plumbing. I am confident to do these skills at home and for friends. The tutor is a credit to Construction Skills College Ltd. He is a very friendly man who always checked on you and helped you. I will recommend the plumbing course, especially because of the price it costs now for a professional.  Mr Scarratt, Plumbing Course 

Very good course. I’ve been taught a lot in one week. Very good investment. Very good instruction. If you wanted to know something, nothing was too much trouble for the instructor. Highly recommendable  Mr Wilkes, Plumbing Course

I found the course to by really good, picking up a lot of useful tips and ideas. I didn’t know anything about plumbing before this course so my understanding has been increased considerably. I feel a lot more confident now after attending the course.  Mr Brayford, Plumbing Course

I found the course very helpful. There were a lot of areas covered and I was pleased with the helpfulness of the tutor we had. We were kept busy at all times. The course is hands on so it’s good experience actually doing it rather than just reading about it.  Mr Sheldon, Plumbing Course

I learned how to fit a bathroom, bend pipes, solder and use speed fit. If anybody was interested in plumbing I would advise them to come to this course.  Mr Wemyss, Plumbing Course

I found the course spot on. As somebody who questions everything, and having to be shown things at least twice, I came out of the course knowing enough to give me confidence. I like the fact we were allowed to make mistakes therefore important facts were firmly pushed home.  Mr James, Plumbing Course

Plumbing is something I’ve never done before and will use it to expand my business. Any questions or instructions were given clearly and the tutor always took his time to make sure I would understand. I had no idea what to expect but the course covered more than I thought.  Mr Jones, Plumbing Course

I looked at fitting a bathroom suite at home and also some friends have asked me to do theirs so now I have a good understanding of the basic skills. I enjoyed the entire course. It was worth the cost.  Mr Green, Plumbing Course

I have gained a good knowledge of plumbing. From not knowing anything about plumbing to being able to fit a bathroom suite is a considerable increase of my understanding of the subject. The tutor was around to help if we needed it. The course is well worth attending even if just doing your own domestic plumbing. I have really enjoyed this course and I would recommend it to anyone.  Mr McMullen, Plumbing Course

I learned new skills and will help in my current role at work. Every day problems can be solved easily without the need of calling professionals. The course was in depth and I have every confidence doing everything we covered.  Mr Dyas, Plumbing Course
