We have also continued with our 100% success rate for external electricians whom have chosen ReactFast Training to update their qualifications. Chris Habbersham and Kevin Flood took the 1 day 17th Edition Wiring Regulations Update exam on Saturday achieving 100% pass rates. Both electricians said the course was excellent and would be recommending it.

Congratulations to group L who have now completed the ReactFast 6 week intensive Electrical Training Course.

Rupert attended the ReactFast Plumbing Course at our Birmingham Training Centre in June 2007, and now has his own successful Plumbing Business.

“All the staff including office staff, were friendly, eager to help, never too busy to spend time with you and very well informed.

It is 08/09/08 today and I am booked up solid until 22/10/08. I have four quotes waiting to accept, which could take me into November and that will give me approximately £5000 profit over 8 weeks, which considering the current economic climate and the fact I have only been trading 12 months, is pretty damn good!

I wanted to set up my own successful Plumbing Company and that is exactly what I have done. You cannot put a price on your freedom!! Having no one to answer to but me is priceless.”
