New Special Offers Now Available

We currently have 2 fantastic offers on that are running from October 2019 to 31st January 2020. We have a ex-student 10% off offer and a 4th week half price offer. Please be aware that if places fill up these offers will end before the 31st January.

For more details please see our TOP OFFER.

4th week half price offer!

Over the winter months of October to February we will be running our very popular 4th week half price offer. The offer is 4 weeks worth of training but the 4th week is charged at half price saving you at least £225. The 4 weeks worth of courses must be completed within 12 weeks from the first course starting. This offer includes undertaking our 5 day courses, 5 day advanced courses (second week courses) and 10 day courses. You do not have to complete the 4 weeks consecutively either, you can spread your weeks out over the 12 week period. Please be aware that places are limited and are on a first come basis.

How the offer works:

  1. Call the centre and discuss course dates and options
  2. Book suitable course dates and pay £400 deposit (£100 deposit per week/date booked) The deposit will be £500 if kitchen fitting is included.
  3. The remaining balances are then due on the first day of each course.

Typical example A: (more examples further down the page)

  1. Pay £400 deposit for 4 weeks of courses
  2. 1st week = 5 day tiling course (pay £350 balance)
  3. 2nd week = 1st 5 days of 10 day plastering course (pay £350 balance)
  4. 3rd week = 2nd 5 days of 10 day plastering course (pay £350 balance)
  5. 4th week = 5 day plumbing course (pay £125 balance)

Total cost = £1575 including vat (£1312.50 excluding vat) A saving of £225!

The offer above is just a typical example but you can choose any 5 day courses to fit the offer. You could even choose 4x 5 day courses in 4 different trades or even 2x 10 day courses and you will still make the same saving.  The 4th week must be completed within 12 weeks from the first course start date, if it is not then you will lose your 4th week deposit. Thats the offer!

If you would like to add on a qualification these are charged at extra costs. So the example above (Example A) could be made into Cskills level 1 certificate in plastering for £300 extra because you are just paying the additional qualification fees.

Courses available:

  • 5 day tiling course
  • 5 day advanced tiling course (second week of the 10 day course)
  • 5 day plastering course
  • 5 day advanced plastering course (second week of the 10 day course)
  • 5 day plumbing course
  • 5 day advanced plumbing course (second week of the 10 day course)

  • 5 day bricklaying course
  • 5 day advanced bricklaying course (second week of the 10 day course)
  • 5 day kitchen fitting course (Please note: The kitchen fitting course is £625 per week whereas all other 5 day courses are £450 per week. The course will still be offered in the deal but please bear in mind the extra cost for the kitchen fitting. We also take a £200 deposit instead of a £100 deposit for the kitchen fitting course.)

Typical example B:

  1. Pay £400 deposit for 4 weeks of courses
  2. 1st week = 5 day plastering course (pay £350 balance)

  4. 3rd week = 5 day carpentry & joinery course (pay £350 balance)
  5. 4th week = 5 day plumbing course (pay £125 balance)

Total cost = £1575 including vat (£1312.50 excluding vat) A saving of £225! Usual cost without the offer = £1800

Typical example C: Including 1x Cskills level 1 Certificate.

  1. Pay £400 deposit for 4 weeks of courses
  2. 1st week = 1st week of 10 day level 1 plastering course (pay £650 balance to include £300 qualification fee)

  4. 3rd week = 1st week of 10 day tiling course (pay £350 balance)

Fantastic 5 star multiple course review for YTA

A fantastic 5 star multiple course review for YTA on Google has been received following the completion of several YTA Training courses. Tiling, carpentry & joinery, plumbing, kitchen fitting and plastering courses completed by Anthony Nolan – an Electrician form Wales.

Having looked at various training providers I decided to try YTA, I have an electrical background and my objective was/is to be able to save money by renovating my own property and fit my own kitchen. That may be ambitious as I did not have experience of joinery, tilling, plumbing, or kitchen fitting, (although I had done some ‘plastering’ before) I spoke to Graham on the phone and we discussed a realistic development plan. With YTA, I did the 5 day joinery course, the 5 day plumbing course, a 2 day wall tiling course (specific to kitchen tilling) and a 2 day plastering skimming course ( with a specific practice session to skim over textured surfaces) and I recently completed the 5 day kitchen fitting course. As I am 57 years old and have worked in the construction industry I feel I can offer some advice to people that may be considering learning some construction skills. The instructors at YTA are all master tradesmen with decades of experience within each of their own areas of expertise, Lawrence carpentry, kitchens. Lyndon plumbing, electrical, Dave plastering, tilling. Plus Graham has an extensive plumbing background they were all very easy to get on with, bags of patience and are always willing to impart their knowledge. The courses are well structured to ensure progression and confidence. I believe courses offer excellent value for money and a great investment for people considering changing their careers or widening their income opportunities, with the option to attain valuable recognised qualifications if required. The facilities are excellent, easy to get to with adequate safe free parking, I travelled from N Wales and stayed in affordable (starting at £20 per night) farm house accommodation, within easy walking distance of YTA. During training time coffee, tea, decent biscuits are on tap throughout. For lunch break (45mins) there is a fridge and microwave cutlery and crockery available, plus close by plenty of options such as subway, MacDonalds, sandwich shops, Starbucks, personally I opted for the Fish and Chip shop just around the corner. According to Graham it is highly rated, especially by non local people!!! To finish this review, all I will say is, I was impressed, the other people doing the course whilst I was there were also happy and I believe you would be too. Thank you

Wow! What a fantastic 5 star review Anthony. Thank you. You certainly have worked your way around the training centre on a few different courses and we’ve all enjoyed having you with us. Glad you enjoyed those fish and chips too! Thanks once agin for such a superb review.

Turn to YTA for your fast-track route to a site carpentry NVQ Level 2 qualification

Provided that you are already an experienced joiner who has spent at least five years in your trade, you don’t have to invest a great amount of time and money into acquiring an NVQ Level 2. In fact, you can simply book our Cskills Awards Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Wood Occupations (Construction) – Site Carpentry QUA900 via the one-day Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA) route.

Yes, you read that correctly; you really do only need to spend a single day at our training and assessment training centre if you arrive ready to start at 7:30am. We will then be able to complete the entire NVQ carpentry assessment before finishing the day at about 4pm.

What is the EWPA route?

It isn’t only our carpentry and joinery NVQ Level 2 courses for which the EWPA pathway is an option. Indeed, this NVQ assessment route was devised so that seasoned workers could achieve their NVQ Level 2 in their relevant trade by simply undergoing a practical assessment, and we also have EWPAs available in such fields as wall and floor tiling, bricklaying and plastering.

This route enables you to have the skills that you have gained in your trade over the years assessed in a single day, or no longer than two days if required. As long as you pass this assessment, you will then have the qualification that you need to attain the blue skilled worker CSCS card.

We’ll ensure that you can get on with your professional life

With its three mandatory units covering general workplace safety, efficient work practices and the movement and handling of resources, together with any three of a series of other units addressing such subjects as the installation of components and the maintenance of non-structural carpentry work, our Site Carpentry QUA900 EWPA route is an extensive, but swift one.

All parts of the NVQ – including witness testimonies, the practical assessment, professional discussion and direct questioning – must be completed to the necessary standard if you are to attain this qualification. But once you have, you will be able to immediately get back on site earning a wage.

In fact, if you aren’t able to get on site right now and are therefore out of work, we aim to complete this assessment within two weeks from when you first get in touch with us. Once you have paid your deposit for this course, we can get you registered and you will be able to apply for and gain a temporary card lasting for six months until you complete the EWPA.

We hold NVQ EWPAs every week, even over weekends – so why wait any longer to make this next crucial step in your carpentry career? We’re among the UK’s most trusted training centres for carpentry & joinery NVQ Level 2 courses – so don’t hesitate to call our professional and friendly team today on 01274 682199, or to complete and submit our simple contact form.

More 5 star reviews of YTA Training!

At YTA we love hearing your your reviews and we’ve just received two more fantastic ones, keep them coming in!

Chris Highley – Completed 10 day tiling, 5 day plumbing and 5 day plastering courses.

Absolute pleasure to work with. I have sat the full 10 day tiling course follows by a 5day plumbing course and also a 5 day plastering course. The tutors are all down to earth and easy to get along with, they make sure to keep assisting if and when required, the skills you’ll learn are more than just basic necessities but more so the skills, tips and tricks that only years of experience can bring. Everyone is more than welcome to explain queries in depth. I’m more than looking forward to return and complete the kitchen fitting course next. Can not recommended YTA as a whole enough!!

YTA: Many thanks for such a lovely 5 star review Chris. We look forward to see on the Kitchen Fitting course.

 

Tony Pemberton – Completed level 1 Award in Plumbing 10 day course.

Great course content. Great instructors. Nice relaxed learning environment. Lyndon, my instructor, pushed me enough to challenge me but not too much as to overwhelm me. I feel confident I can put into practice what I was taught. Would recommend this training centre to anyone I know. Thoroughly enjoyed my time here.

YTA: Thank you for a great 5 star review Tony. Glad you enjoyed your time training with us on the plumbing course.
