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.

Advice on pre exam was good so as people knew what to how to tackle exam. Stages of principles were laid out in the right sequence so as it was not over powering.

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 course is run in a very professional but friendly “laid back” manner. It helped me to relax and therefore remember more information. I would recommend Ellis Training Works to any engineers.

Tutors excellent, very approachable, with a good sense of humour that goes a long way to helping the nerves.
Simon Brooker SLB
Appreciate the 'old school' delivery and attitude, plus the obvious level of knowledge and experience of the staff.
Lee Davidson Lee Cooling Ltd
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.

Allan Turner David Blakey Services Ltd
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.
Mick Brooker Optimum Group Services PLC
I really enjoyed the course and found everybody very helpful. Tutors explain everything very clearly. I will hopefully come here again and recommend you to anybody that is looking for training. Thanks for everything.

Anthony Barrett
I am very satisfied I attended this course, F Gas 5 day, because I really developed my knowledge and got new information for the future of my job. Thanks a lot.
Andreas Politis
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!!!
Peter O'Donnell Selex Galileo
The 5 day course provided a good overview of the course material for the new F Gas regulations and City & Guilds 2079.
With the afternoon practical as well as the morning theory, the course was well balanced for even the people who don’t normally work on refrigerant or A/C systems.
A big thank you to the training team.
Stewart Brown Selex Galileo
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.
Chris Hill C C H Refrigeration Ltd
Excellent course, very friendly and helpful lecturers. Learned a lot in a short space of time and the facilities are superb.

I truly had a great experience at Ellis Training Centre the training has opened me up wanting more due to the simple way in which the subject was broken down and I'm more comfortable with the knowledge gained.
Chris Clarke Sutton Cooling Services Ltd
Great course, I will be able to put much learnt into practice in the field. Thanks
Martin Norton 3CL
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.
Del French Selex Galileo
Firstly I would like to thank you, I recently attended the F Gas, Split air conditioning installation and commissioning and Service and maintenance courses and found the courses and tutors to be excellent. I would also like to know if it would be possible for me at this stage to start the City and Guilds Technical Certificate level 2 and then progress on to the level 3 at a later stage?
Mark Hines LM Plumbing and Heating
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. “Brilliant”, “Best course I have ever been on”, “Knows his stuff”.
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.
Keep the good work up
Dennis Gwynne Andrews Sykes Group PLC
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.
This year all our staff have needed to gain their F Gas accreditations. Ellis Training is the leading training organisation in our opinion and we have seen what a worthwhile qualification it is. Our engineers, many with years of experience, have gained a great deal of knowledge on subjects such as how systems operate, how pressure enthalpy charts show the performance of a system as well as understanding the need for efficient systems in today’s world.
When you listen to John you can see he is passionate about refrigeration and the technology behind the subject. His enthusiasm and forthright views are what makes him different from other trainers.
Lawrence Workman Herts Cooling Ltd
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.
Joe Collins Associated Cooling Services Ltd
Many thanks to you and all your staff for helping me pass the F Gas course last week, it was good fun and also good personal achievement too.
Once again many thanks to the Ellis Training team. Very much recommended!
Steve Glasby
With regards to the recent F Gas course that I attended recently. I was very impressed with the standard that Ellis Training provided.
I feel that all elements are covered, such as the reception, training, break and lunch etc. The centre provides a good clean and safe environment. The reception staff are keen to assist. The lecturers are knowledgeable and teach to a calm and relaxed standard, that does not intimidate.
I feel that the course covered the both parts of the examinations to above pass rate, and the manner in which we were taught will help me to continue my knowledge of the F Gas rules and practices during my working life.
It seems that a great deal of thought has gone into the set up at Ellis Training and this is to be commended. Once again I thank you for providing a fantastic service that was worth every penny.
Rick Baxter Natural AC LTD
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.
The workshop facilities were very good as was the technical hand outs at the beginning of the course. I will have no hesitation in recommending your facility to other companies and engineers.
Well Done and Many Thanks
Kevin Bright Eton Associates
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.
