I’ve completed both a Business Improvement Techniques course and a Leadership & Management course with XR Training.

My lead trainer Clive Jones has been nothing short of fantastic! I would highly advocate XR Training to work with any company for training purposes, they’ve always been able to find the right course for the right staff member and they work closely with staff to get the most out of their course.

During the Business Improvement Techniques course they found a way to include not only the learners but also the whole team, opening the floor for new ideas and cohesion between members. They introduced new ways of working and helped push the right practices for us to get the most out of our staff.

Clive worked with me through my Leadership & Management course, helping me to hit the necessary evidence-based targets and achieve my qualification. Whilst it took longer than usual due to Covid-19, Clive went out of his way to ensure that I could still hit the deadline by organising Zoom sessions for when we couldn’t have face to face meetings.

XR Training ensures that all students are looked after and can complete their courses safely and at the correct speed for them. They have multiple processes in place to help students who may be experiencing difficulties in their personal lives – not just on the course.

I, for one, would definitely do more courses with XR Training and would highly recommend them to any other company.

I am currently enrolled on my level 3 fabrication and welding apprenticeship with XR Training. I completed my level 2 with them in November 2020.

Being older than the average apprentice I have always been keen to gain recognition for the skills I’ve developed in the job I’ve been doing for years. Doing an apprenticeship was the best way for me to do this because I could stay in my employment – but it was important to me to get things done fast. XR Training took this into account and my assessor, Jack Marsh, made time to see me one-on-one outside of usual training days to mentor me through my qualifications quickly and effectively.

With these qualifications I hope to improve my job prospects and as a result, have a better quality of life in general.

I am very grateful for the support and guidance I’ve recieved over the years, and feel I have gained strong knowledge and a good understanding of a variety of engineering topics – not just fabrication and welding.

I am enjoying how my apprenticeship is going, I have benefited from it in many ways, learned new skills and gained more experience that I never would have had otherwise. I’m happy with the training I’m getting and with the tutors, it was easy to build up a good relationship with them and I’m 100% confident about the future.

I believe my apprenticeship has benefitted me massively from the practical side of my welds and fabricating workpieces to the theory and knowledge behind the welds.

I have just entered my level 3 and I’m very happy with the training I have been provided and the progress I’ve made. The delivery has been very good which helps to make learning and understanding what I’m being taught much easier. The support from my tutor has been excellent and helps push me to progress.

My apprenticeship has helped me gain confidence in my work and I am both confident and excited to get further into the industry. I have gained many new skills since joining at the start of my level 2 and I have gained experience which has helped to boost my skills and confidence in welding.
