Jason nuttall – Alcester
19/07/2024

I attended the floor skills carpet level 1 and 2 , our instructor Darren ash is very knowledgeable and his teaching was second to non, the course covered all sides of carpets from stairs to bullnoses and joins which Darren explained perfectly, the course was made better because of how Passionate about the flooring industry he is and how technically skilled he was, definitely recommend this course.

Real enjoyable course. Very informative. Staff took the time to help the individuals when needed (not everyone struggles at the same point). Would recommend to anyone looking for the information to do the job as a contractor or as a contracts manager to give an idea of the time it takes to do the job and what is needed to ensure the job is completed with no failures at a later date.

good useful tips and advice

Robert Taylor – Middlewich Cheshire
19/04/2024

Attended 5 day carpet fitting course for new to the trade. The course is set at a slower pace giving plenty of time to take everything in. Darren the instructor is helpful and shares good useful tips and advice. Even if you have a good basic grasp of carpet fitting i would advise going for the 4 day option speeding things up to a faster pace


I would definitely recommend

Shane – Cardiff
19/04/2024

Very into detail course It is a lot different to what my dad showed me how to do things If you think you know it all and haven't been on the course I suggest you try the course and you'll see how little you know. Darren was very helpful and showed us multiple ways of doing things I would definitely recommend.

Absolutely outstanding set up

Jakub Bosko – Kent
20/12/2023

Been on other courses when I first moved to UK. What can I say? If I could turn back time, I would have chosen floorskills from the start. Completed three courses with floorskills now. If you have not been, this place is on another level, absolutely outstanding set up. Can clearly see why floorskills is leagues ahead. To witness top name manufacturer technical teams on a course at the same time as myself at floorskills reinforced that I'm in the right place if this is where the best brains in flooring also use for training.  Thank you, Matt, Ashley and Sam

Santosh – Gloucester

I recently had the privilege of taking the flooring course and I am incredibly impressed with the experience. The course provided a comprehensive and practical approach to learning about various flooring techniques and materials. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and provided hands-on training that allowed me to develop valuable skills. The course curriculum was well-structured, covering everything from preparation to installation and finishing techniques. The facility was equipped with state-of-the-art tools and materials, further enhancing the learning experience. I highly recommend this flooring course to anyone interested in pursuing a career in the field or simply enhancing their DIY skills. It exceeded my expectations and I feel confident in my ability to tackle flooring projects with skill and confidence.

Eye-opener on what a proper training facility is

Simon Earls – Newcastle
29/09/2023

Gave floorskills a try after reading feedback on forums along with my manager recommending after completing estimating course, wish I had moved over to floorskills years ago. Amazing training facility, by far the best I have been to. Instructors blew me away with their knowledge and skills. Already booked more LVT courses even though completed else where. If you have not been to floorskills you are missing out. Eye-opener on what a proper training facility is.
