I've been an electrician for many years and been on many courses at various places but can honestly say The Electrical Academy has been the best. Very friendly, very helpful and the course tutor was knowledgeable and articulate with his explanations. I did the solar pv and EESS course and enjoyed the week.

I completed my AM2 at The Electrical Academy Maidstone and I whole heartedly recommend them. I've attended various courses and exams at 2 other providers in the south east and they are the best by quite a long way. Speaking from personal experience, some centres do tend to treat you like a number, not the case here. A very friendly and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in the door. Which really sets you at ease when undertaking important, career advancing exams! Tutors and facilities were equally fantastic, I'll certainly be back in the near future to enrol in some of their courses. In an industry where progressive qualifications are so important, it’s really nice to find somewhere like this!

I have done several qualifications with The Electrical Academy since they started several years ago. They are knowledgeable, professional, and well equipped. The facility in Maidstone is excellent and well located. Moreover, and most importantly they understand that their learners are people and not just numbers on a balance sheet. In my industry there is a need for continual professional development and at some time or another most of us have been to a poorly skilled and scantily equipped training centre and thought to ourselves “surely this could be done better”, well it can and these guys and girls have done it better. I don’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Studied City & Guilds 2365 level 2 here. Overall one of the best education establishments I have been to (Since leaving school I have counted 5 places including this place excluding day courses). A couple of minor issues to note here, 1 course attendance dates got altered a couple of times before and during this course of study which had caused me issues with time off from my current workplace. 2 Health and Safety module was an issue because I was unable to find all the relevant information to be able to revise this subject. Otherwise I would of rated 5 stars. Hope to return to do my City & Guilds 2365 level 3 in the future.

Can’t recommend these guys enough. Have done my NVQ,AM2 and 2391 here and will be back for more. A centre that genuinely wants their students to do well not like the rest of them out there. All the staff there are brilliant 👍
