Real Stories from MultiSkills graduates

Today I’m very excited to finish my Civil Construction Plant Operations course. It was a wonderful experience. The trainers, students and staff are welcoming and cooperating. I learnt a lot from this training.

– Sayidka

I’ve been coming to Multiskills for the past few months and although construction is an area I’m very new to, every time I walk away feeling confident in the skills that I’ve learnt on site. Each trainer has a different yet effective style of teaching but regardless, you’re always in good hands. I just finished my Basic Rigging with Denis who was very patient, supportive and encouraging (like all the other trainers I’ve had so far – Sally, Dave and Jamie). Thank you all for making it a great experience so far!

– Maxine 

Did my basic rigging here recently and Denis was a great instructor, really clear instruction and teaching method. Felt in safe hands the whole time.
