Optima Reviews
"Finished of my NVQ Level 3 with Adam at Optima Electrical Training Manchester, also did my inspection and testing practical with him. Real world knowledge shown in the City & Guilds format. Super helpful throughout my portfolio process, observations and examinations. Very greatful. Thanks for your patience, help and time. Regards, C Colclough."
"Been doing my 2391-52, had a really good course, taken a lot away from the people here. Had my theory with Stephanie and practical with Adam. Both really clued up and knowledgable and a credit to the company! Thank you."
"Great course. Adam Kerrigan the tutor delivered the course in an easy to understand manner. Smaller groups so we had the time to look at the tasks required and get help as needed. Really friendly and approachable team."
"One of the best electrical training colleges in the UK, which is well structured and has dedicated support staff throughout the course work and practical sessions. The overall structure of Optima is highly organised and efficient, which is very suitable for both new students and experienced persons."
