Very good teacher, he was very helpful and made me feel relaxed and confident on the 5 day FGas course.
Martin Norton

Rob Whybrow
From starting the 5 day F Gas course with very little knowledge of refrigeration the course has given me an excellent understanding of the principals and fault finding.
Joe Axelrod
I have just received my F-Gas certificate through, and wanted to say a massive thank you for another truly amazing course.
Andrew Frogson
The 5 day F Gas course is probably the best course I have ever been on, and I have been on many.
Stephen Fitzgerald
I would like to pass on my thanks to all, as each persons individual needs were met, which is sometimes not possible and this makes for excellent tutors.
Ian Chittick
I visited your training centre last week to attend the F-Gas training course and I just wanted to thank everyone involved at Ellis Training for all their help to get me through the course. I have been to other training centers and the standard of training and technical knowledge in comparison to yourselves is very poor. Although the course was quite difficult the way it was set out and explained gave a complete novice like myself the ability to learn and understand the systems involved. I will certainly be recommending your training centre and I hope that I get an opportunity to visit you again for more training. Thank you once again.

The F Gas Cat 1 training offered by Ellis Training Centre is taught in such a professional way that they make it suitable for all levels of technician and engineer. The layout and good facilities sets a nice training environment and everything you need to know about the F Gas requirement and more is taught during the week. It’s a course we recommend.

The 5 day course provided a good overview of the course material for the new F Gas regulations and City & Guilds 2079.
Kevin Bright
I thought I must drop you a quick email thanking you for such a well run course. The enthusiasm expressed by all the lectures for the subject was great, and this made the course very enjoyable.
Lawrence Workman
We have sent our engineers to Ellis Training Works since its inception and found the level of training to be far superior to that experienced at other training organisations. We have trainees finishing their courses and being able to immediately demonstrate a very high level of understanding.
Paul Newman
Excellent course pitched at the right level for all skill levels. Thank you very much.
Del French
A big thank you to all of the staff at Ellis Traning Works for taking me from being a complete novice on refrigeration to being a holder of the FGas Category 1 (C & G 2079) qualification in just 5 days. Excellent hands on and theoretical training from all trainers and all delivered by people who obviously know their subject inside out and impart it to others in a down to earth and friendly manner.
Trevor Davies
Excellent course have learnt a lot on the understanding of refrigeration and air conditioning.
David Heron
Great teaching, great facilities.
Mick Brooker
May I take this opportunity on behalf of Optimum to thank all at Ellis training for the quality of training that myself and our engineers have received this week on our 3 day F-gas course. The course was well presented, delivered and most importantly received. I have been in this trade for some time now and it goes to show how all of us can learn where quality lecturing is given. But I would expect nothing else from those lecturers involved.
Dennis Gwynne
Just a quick note of thanks and appreciation for the excellent City & Guilds 2079 F Gas Qualification course your company are running. To date 3 of the 10 engineers we have booked have successfully completed and gained the relevant qualification. Two of the candidates Matthew Stapley & Mark Key are very experienced refrigeration engineers.
Both of them thought the course was not only very well run, but very informative and interesting. Even after 20 years each in the industry they both said they had learned something new and quote. “Brilliantâ€, “Best course I have ever been onâ€, “Knows his stuffâ€.
Also having the option to book the 10 course dates and then send which ever engineer we wanted has made life a lot easier to work around holidays, major projects etc.
Joe Collins
Many thanks to you and all the Ellis Training team for making the F Gas City & Guilds 2079 course so enjoyable and informative. I attended the course ahead of our employees to try and ascertain which of our engineers should attend the three and five day course. I am sure it will come as no surprise to you that given the amount of information that needs to be taken on board in such a short period of time, I feel that the majority of engineers will need the five day course. My colleague has already been in touch to secure future spaces. Companies deciding not to take this training will be taking a major risk.
Dave Parsons
The course was conducted in a friendly and relaxed environment. I found the theory side of the course to be refreshing with regards to the rules and regulations and on certain elements of theory not used in my every day role as an engineer. I would recommend the course to those that have not gained their F Gas certificate already.
Chris Hill
Hi there, thank you very much for the fantastic training that you provided for me recently on my F Gas course. I thought that all of your tutors were extremely helpfull. Especially I remember the pep talk from John just before we sat the exam, I believe that his advice on our approach to sitting an examination was ever so helpful and enabled me to maximise the marks I achieved.
Danny Lowe
Clear and concise teaching by a great team. Many thanks.
Allan Turner
Very relaxed and friendly staff. All good.
Peter O’Donnell
Due to my lack of experience in this industry I thought this course [F Gas Cat 1, 5 day] was superb. For a beginner everything was covered. The best lecturers I have ever had on a training course! Everything was explained superbly. Thanks so much for all your help!!!
James Marsh
Fantastic, to be taught by ‘the best in the business’, would recommend to any one wanting to do an F Gas course. Thanks ever so much for your time and effort, it’s been a pleasure to do the course with you guys.
Graham Salmon
I really enjoyed the course, I will continue recommending Ellis Training to people I know who want air conditioning or refrigeration training in a friendly, relaxed yet efficient environment.
Chris Watson
Just a thank you note for the Cat 1 F Gas course completed today. Every single member of your team are a real credit to you. I’ve been on courses at other facilities and to be honest found them really boring and hard work. What a fantastic teaching technique you have. I really enjoyed my course and will definitely recommend you to my colleagues and see you in the future for further courses. Thanks again.
Fraser Hale
Just like to thank the staff for all the help and support provided over the three days of my recent F-Gas course. Really enjoyed the experience – excellent presentation of both the theoretical and practical aspects.
Joseph Gordon Mills
Tutors are clearly very intelligent and their way of breaking down complex processes and theories, like thermodynamics, is fantastic, they make it simple and more importantly understandable. Thank you very much for your time and more importantly patience!
Kurt Hargus
I learnt a lot and would recommend work mates to attend.

This is the second time I have been to a F Gas course and compared to the other company this was by far more in depth and concise with ‘real’ facts, unlike the other who didn’t have a clue apart from how to charge….money that is!

The tuition and the way that the tutors passed on their experience was first class, have had a great two weeks on the New Starter course.

Well set our course, helped not being in a classroom all day, having practical in the afternoon. Good to have advice on examinations before you go in (helps settle the nerves a bit).

Very enjoyable overall, have got what I wanted out of the 5 day fgas course, to be able to connect and make diagnostic decisions on the heat packs (refrigeration packs) operation and capacity performance.
Anthony Collins
Found the course daunting for three days but if you knuckle down and take in as much as possible you will pass and look back and see that it was worth it. Also you will be that bit cleverer and wiser.

I really enjoyed the wide scope covered during the bespoke brazing course. Much appreciated

Could I ask you to thank John, Mick and Ben for the superb level of training and guidance last week. I learnt, and more importantly, understood a colossal amount last week, for which I am very grateful. Keep up the great work, I would not hesitate to recommend Ellis Training.
Don Tompsett
I came up to Ellis Training to complete my practical C&G cat 1 2079 on the 28 06 11.
