A great training establishment with knowledgeable tutors and admin staff. It has been such a smooth and consistent journey from start to finish. I would definitely recommend it to others colleagues at my work place for future career development and gaining qualifications.

From initial enquiry through to receipt of my certificate mttraining were great. I had initially contacted a company a lot closer to me but because Craig was so responsive and informative i decided to go with them. On the day of training our assessor David was equally as good. Although it was a test environment he was extremely helpful and managed to make you feel completely at ease. I had nothing but a positive experience. Highly recommend!

I completed the EWPA Carpentry Level 2. It was carried out in one day plus taking a few photos and filling in some forms. The forms were pretty straightforward and Craig also offered some advice filling them in. The practical test was carried out with just myself and one other carpenter. We weren't in a rush to finish the little stud wall and chatted our way through the day. David the assessor was down to earth and helpful. I've received my certificate from Multi Trades 3 days after completion. So I will now call CSCS and get my blue card.

I recently had to do a EWPA to gain a level 2 NVQ in bricklaying due to the changes in the cscs card system. I would highly recommend to anyone in the same situation to do the course with mttraining, the course is well organised and the instructor Ryan was great guy and thanks to Craig who was very helpful with the organising of the whole thing.
