• "Not happy as I paid £850 for this inspection course and was let down by them... don’t waste your money here and go somewhere where they will teach you better and listen to you!"
• "I kept telling David and his son I’m not ready as this is far too difficult for me to take the test in 5 days."
• "We all said we don’t feel ready but we were told you will be fine... all 8 of us sitting the test failed!"
• "I phoned to start a beginner electrician course and I was asked by David’s secretary who’s his granddaughter if I had experience on holding a screwdriver or changing a plug... I passed my part P and domestic electrical course but when it came to inspection course... I kept telling them I want to extend my exam date but they wouldn’t listen."
