Candidate Review

Dear Able Skills


I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all, and also to update you on where I’ am now 24 months after completing my City and Guilds 8 week course in Plastering.


After completing my course at Able Skills I became a Self-employed Plasterer and was operating as a one man and a van on a lot of domestic jobs . The course gave me the skills and the confidence to operate and the more work I got, the skills that Jo Holloway and Spencer James had taught me put me in a great position to win more work. I quickly got a good name for myself in the South West of England and later progressed on to commercial contracts. I finally started working for Mercury Construction has a Plasterer and Renderer this was very interesting and the skills and foundations taught to me at Able Skills put me in good stead.


I then completed my Site Managers course and was then promoted to Site Manager in charge of the finishing trades. I must say with all my heart that without the professional training and commitment of Able Skills I would not be where I ‘am today.


I fully recommend all trade courses at Able Skills because not only do you learn the trade side, you learn lots more about the construction industry, and gain recognised qualifications.


To that end I would like to thank the team at Able Skills especially Jo Holloway and Spencer James for their professionalism.


Thank You
