Universal Skills Group Avis 

Good course. Thorough and well run.

Very good training center where I have done my gas and electric metering apprenticeship. The staff here are great with the teaching making everything very accessible and easy to learn. I had Mike Campbell as a tutor and he went above and beyond to make sure we all understood everything and everyone's opinion could be heard. Tutors Adam and Matt G had us for assessments and were very fair.

Very slow start to the course was genuinely good thinking of not completing it but once MIKE CAMPBELL took over everything changed for me, he actually put the time in to get me where I needed to be so can’t thank him enough, also ADAM BROOK top bloke helped me out so much, can’t thank them both enough, everyone in the training has been spot on and have done what they said they would do at the start which was get me though the whole experience so big thank you to everyone

I am currently completing my Smart Metering apprenticeship with Universal Skills Group, and the experience has been top-tier. The facilities are modern and the course is very well-structured, but the real standout is the staff.

​A special shout-out to Mr. Campbell, who is honestly the superhero of the training centre. His teaching is absolutely wonderful and he has a way of making everything click. He’s like a fine whisky you just love, and honestly, he is the Spiderman I love to listen to! He goes above and beyond to make sure every apprentice is confident and ready for the field. If you’re looking to start a career in the utility sector, this is the place to do it!

USG has been a great place to learn over these past 6 months whilst doing my apprenticeship, Micheal Campbell,
our tutor, has not only made it a great learning experience with in depth knowledge and a great style of teaching but has also made it a happy and fun place to learn throughout. All staff have been great that I have been lucky to be involved with such as Adam Brook, Matt Giles and Katy Garside

Before training started it was like falling into an abyss with no clarity in thought. However the training centre had some fantastic staff. They guided us through the whole process with ease. This is definitely an experience where it can be said "if I was successful then anyone can do it".

Big thanks to the entire staff. One of the best crew I've ever met.

The training centre is top notch all the staff are very friendly and willing to help, my trainer Mike Campbell has an endless amount of knowledge that he has passed onto us in our training journey

I recently completed training with Universal Skills Group with Mike Campbell who was incredible and honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. From the start, the whole process was professional, well organised, and really supportive.

The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to explain everything clearly, making sure you actually understand the work rather than just rushing through it. They create a really positive learning environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and getting hands-on experience.

What really stood out was how much they genuinely want you to succeed. The support, guidance, and practical training were excellent and have given me real confidence moving forward in my career.

If you’re considering training in this industry, Universal Skills Group is a fantastic place to do it. A great team, great training, and a really valuable experience overall.

Great CT course

USG has been a great centre for my training. The staff have been friendly and helpful in every situation. Two men in particular carry this motif; The prophet Michael Campbell, and his loyal disciple Adam Brook. These men make it their mission to spread wisdom and knowledge to any willing individual. In particular I appreciate Adam Brook for his help as a tutor, as well as being a half decent bloke.

Couldnt fault my whole experiencefrom start to finish its been amazing, i feel like iv gained all the skills necessary to go on and achieve my goals....all members of staff are highly skilled throughout all areas covered, a special mention to adam brook my tutor guided me through the whole course brilliantly and was always there for me when i needed him, i feel like he made the whole course enjoyable and id do it all again aslong as he was my tutor again 😀

Over the last 6 months, I’ve been training at Universal Skills Group, Wakefield to complete my ACS and MOCOPA. Every member of staff within the centre has been a massive help in supporting my journey. My tutor, Adam Brook, has been the ideal tutor - mixing classroom work nicely with practical work to create an enjoyable learning experience. I wouldn’t have been able to get through it without his support.

Adam the tutor was amazing, helping me through the course giving me guidance when I needed it. His teaching style was perfect as he adapted it to everyone’s needs and learning styles giving everyone the same chance to succeed and pass our exams. The company was great and facilities was up to good standards.

Great experience over the 6 months of Training all the tutors were super helpful from day one. Special shout out to Adam.B(the main man), Mike.C and Matt.G. thanks guys hopefully see you all soon

I recently completed my Smart Meter Engineer apprenticeship with Universal Skills Group, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience.
From start to finish, the support was brilliant and the course was easy to follow. It gave me the skills and confidence I needed to step into the role feeling fully prepared.
Adam was a fantastic tutor, always friendly, patient and happy to help. He really took the time to make sure I understood everything and supported me all the way through.
I’m really grateful for the opportunity and would highly recommend Universal Skills Group to anyone thinking about becoming a Smart Meter Engineer.

I have been an apprentice at universal skills group in Wakefield for 6 months as a smart meter apprentice. I came into this knowing nothing at all, but felt reassured, engaged and saw my confidence grow with the help and support from the staff. Professional set up with fantastic staff who are always there to assist and help, with a big shout out to Adam B who was an amazing tutor!

I've just finished a week's refresher course to help me with my job, the trainer John F was amazing, taking his time to explain every aspect of what we were doing.
Amazing facilities and amazing staff, very welcoming and helpful all of the time.
Thank you USG

The best place to learn with outstanding staff

These folks ran my ACS and MOCOPA course for my work in 6 months. Excellent staff, always approachable and let you check your understanding for the work. I think the programme itself was extremely well structured with it being split between coursework and field work. John Fazackerly who ran the course was absolutely fantastic he gave every single one of us the push we needed to be our best selves and get qualified. Thank guys! Hope you'll be doing my RTS training.

Had a great week learning. John was very knowledgable
