My Bootcamp Experience
“It’s been a really positive learning experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity. I look forward to applying my newfound skills in the workplace and continuing my learning journey.”

“It has been a really positive experience, although quite intensive. I haven’t dwelled on it much, which, in my view, is a positive as it allowed me to focus on the course without distractions & complete the programme quickly”.
“While I had some experience in electrical work from a previous job, it was primarily based on self-learning through YouTube and my former boss’s guidance. Seeking a more structured approach, I left that job and decided to learn a trade, particularly in electrical vehicle charging ports, to future-proof my skills and gain a formal qualification.”
“Absolutely. The course has provided me with the knowledge and language to communicate effectively in the electrical field. It’s reassuring, and I now feel comfortable taking on technical tasks.”
“It’s been a significant change. Despite initial expectations of focusing on charging points, the course covered basics as well extensively, which, considering the complexity, was a sensible approach. I’ve learned a lot in a week, and I plan to continue learning and seek employment in the field.”
“It was refreshing to work with different people, in my previous role I worked in small team of the same people for years. Teaming up with diverse individuals was a positive aspect of the experience.”
“The instructions provided were good. Our mentors were always willing to spend extra time with us after sessions & during lunches addressing any queries. Maintaining a smooth flow of lessons was emphasised throughout, they wanted us to complete quickly but at our pace which contributed positively to the overall Skills Bootcamp experience.”
