Gas refresher
Completed my Gas refresher at USG, the tutors were very down to earth and made the experience very relaxing. A good broad of knowledge from the team. Only criticism would be that the course could have been completed within 3 days.
ACS and Mocopa resits
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Helped me through my resits and made the experience fun.

Only good things to say about this training centre. I have just completed the 2391-52 (and passed) in a week, with 2 days for exams. The set up is great, the tutors are switched on and really know their stuff, class sizes are small too so you can get all the help you need, free parking and 35p Lattes, what more could you want!? Shout out to our tutor Carl who is spot on and Molly in the office who organises it all for you!! I have booked 2x more courses for Feb and March off the back of this one, thanks guys!
