Optima Reviews
"Just completed my Level 2 2365 practical with Adam, course was delivered in an easy to follow way with excellent tuition throughout. Adam was supportive and accommodating through the whole of the 10 weeks."
"Adam's been great. Supported me from the beginning to end, helping me understand it as well as the practical side. He got me through Level 2 and Level 3. Anyone who wants to go down the same route, I recommend Optima Training."
"I recently completed the 2391 Inspection & Testing workshop with Adam Kerrigan, and his teaching was excellent. He explained everything clearly, made the complex parts easy to understand. I'd highly recommend Adam to anyone preparing for the 2391."
"Big thanks to Adam Kerrigan and the team at Optima! Adam was super helpful from start to finish and made the whole NVQ process easy and stress-free. Managed to get mine done in less than 6 months thanks to their support. Great company, great people – couldn't recommend them enough!"
