Our Clients Say
I have recently completed the nvq level 2 in plumbing and heating. This is the only course I could find that was flexible meeting my needs of juggling a full time job having a partner that works and having kids. Everyone was helpful and friendly.

Kevin AtkinsGoogle Review
I am currently on the level 2 diploma course in plumbing. The Academy works well for me having a family and a full time job collage was not an option. The staff are friendly and know their stuff. Practical sessions are great and the theory revision sessions are very informative they don’t just teach you to pass exams they explain in detail and give past knowledge and experience that will help you on the job in the future.
They provide you with the city and guilds level 2 book and provide you with revision sheets and online presentations which will help with home study.
In a few words flexible, professional and friendly
