Left without a tutor after lunch. He just disappeared and left us to it. Very disappointed with the way it was taught and the content.
Poor.

Bob and Richard were fantastic. Center is very well equipped. Lunch was provided in the form of a roll and crisps. Plenty of tea and coffee available. Was well worth the journey up to do my ACS here.

Excellent service

Andy Massey helped with the teach , Bethany Tarr helped with amy problems. Absolute pleasure to deal with , and thank you both so very much.

Excellent course, very knowledgeable lecturer. Highly recommend.

I recently had my yearly electrical inspection with assessor Lisa Burge who was fantastic! She made me feel at ease and was helpful throughout the entire process. Thank you for everything.

From TTE Electrical

I had my first ever inspection, after building it up in my head and stressing Tim the assessor was fantastic, easy going and really knew his stuff and quite quickly put my mind at rest.

The day was laid out clearly and everything went smoothly.

All OK, the exam is expensive for what it is, although I did get a mock thrown in. Paper had some typos which many people would have found confusing, some relevant information seemed to be missing from the questions, and some questions appeared ambiguous. Probably would pay to get someone technical to proof read these before issuing.

Easy access to the portal to take the course

Hi all , I have just finished the BS5839-1 2025 course. Our course was held at the Dunstable training centre. We had a class of 12 candidates of all levels of electrical & fire alarm engineer backgrounds. Our tutor was called Greg. On arrival you receive two 300 page bound folders & Greg goes through every page on the course. The course has just the right level of time between breaks of which you will need and be grateful of. There are 3 breaks during the day with a good quality lunch provided , little tip don’t hang around talking if you want any of the hot stuff as it goes quick.
You will require a copy of BS5839-1:2025 or Greg or the tutor can lend you a copy . The course is based on learning the two bound folders information and cross referencing to the BS.
There is some time allocated within the course for questions, I would recommend keeping these to a minimum as there is a lot to go through and not a lot of time.
You will be given a mock exam during the training to familiarise yourself with the exam format on a provided PC . Everyone in our class passed this , so quite a euphoric feeling, I passed and still had questions to answer . This is where exam technique comes into play . You only have 50 minutes in the exam to answer the questions and they are not in order so you are back & forward in the BS like someone possessed .
Answer all the questions , as you have a one in four chance of you are not sure of the exact correct answer.
As mentioned before the course is over 4 days , I personally think it would be better over 5 days so you are not so rushed . This however, may have been due to the many questions our candidates had for Greg myself included that slowed up the course .
Ok finally , Bring a photo ID for the exam . Answer the ones you know off by heart in your head first , flag the ones you don’t have a clue to and go back to them at the end . Don’t give up !
The exam is Twice as hard as the mock exam , be prepared to look for things not covered in the course , but the answers are in the BS somewhere .
We found out that only half our course passed , it is tough guys .
That said , I learned loads from the course & I’ve been in the industry best part of 40 years . Be prepared for loads of paperwork in the future if you’re using this course to be BAFE accredited.
Greg’s a top bloke if you get him you will be ok .The Dunstable centre is nice , clean & has good facilities & lots of parking.
And yes I passed , thank god .
Good luck everyone, I hope this helps your choice of course. I’ve tried to be as honest as I can .

The facilities were excellent well organised staff were very accommodating
The assessment fills my requirements exactly

Very good and interesting course Greg was very knowledgeable on bs5839 and made it fun to attend

It is very good to being part of NICEIC but few things are bit hard to get on to it. Excellent

I attended the 2391-52 course at Certsure, the delivery of the course by Andy was excellent.

The assessor conducted the inspection in a highly professional, fair, and constructive manner. The approach was clear, proportionate, and supportive, with guidance provided where appropriate. The assessment process felt collaborative rather than adversarial, and the inspector demonstrated strong technical knowledge, professionalism, and respect throughout. This made the assessment both productive and positive, and reflects well on the standards expected of the NICEIC. Having a new inspector that does not speak down to you was a breath of fresh air, Thanks to Ian Tooley a gentleman.

Great venue good location
Training materials given were really good enjoyed my week of training

The course was given by greg . By adding humour he kept a 4 day course entertaining . Funny guy . The course books are fantastic and we use them daily . Not often you can say you enjoyed a course and learnt a lot at the same time . We will be sending more operatives on this course as definitely worth the money . Will be undertaking more courses delivered by this course lecturer .

Informative and helpful staff. Ease of procedure, knowledgeable and helpful assessor

Nigel did a good job explaining everything. The lunch was very nice too.
My only criticism would be that the NIC don't appear to host any training in the south west. I am 30 minutes south of Bristol. It would be great if some of the courses were a bit closer
