May 06,2021Callum was incredibly helpful in not only getting me in touch with the company I currently work for but sharing advice and checking in before and after my interview as well as the end of my first day of work. Couldn't recommend NowSkills more, very supportive and useful service.

Apr 02,2021NowSkills helped me get work as an apprentice in less than a month of contacting them. I'm very pleased with this as they put my application forward to many different employers and I got to choose one that suited me the best. I'd definitely go with this company because they want to help you more than any other recruitment agency would, from my own experience they are top of the list. Consistently communicated with me. I'm very pleased with the them

Jan 29,2021After being made redundant due to Covid-19, I felt it would be much longer to find employment once again. I applied for NowSkills in November and by December I was an apprentice in a local company. I have nothing but absolute praise for all the people that aided me in getting my apprenticeship, mainly Quincy who was my handler, and Rebekah who was also excellent!

Dec 02,2020An amazing company who always put the person first unlike others which will try and throw any apprentice at you. Rick is a down to earth, considerate person who has helped me thoroughly throughout the process of me finding my new apprenticeship and it's a breath of fresh air to find someone who isn't robotic and just doing the bare minimum to get through their day. A truly great person.

Nov 26,2020The now skills team have been amazing when dealing with with me in a timely manner and always keeping me informed and up to date, I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an apprenticeship. Rick Shaw was amazing with finding me a placement, always made sure I knew what was happening and even rang me before interviews to give a boost of confidence. Now skills are excellent!

Nov 10,2020I started my Level 4 Data Analyst Apprenticeship in February 2020 and I am due to finish August 2021. Excellent and outstanding Apprenticeship Provider to be with. The support given has been fantastic. The signposting to online and classroom learning has been impeccable. Tutor support is first class.

Nov 04,2020Bit of a long review but I hope it's useful. I completed a level 3 apprenticeship in software development. My overall experience with NowSkills is very positive, I have learned a lot from the tutors and each of them has my utmost respect. The classrooms were spacious for the number of people and they created a comfortable productive environment. Each of the courses taught me a large amount, my favorite was based on databases done by Sunnia. It went into great detail and I walked out having a far greater understanding of databases both SQL and NoSQL, which helped massively over the rest of my apprenticeship and after it. Upon competition of my apprenticeship, I am now fully employed by a research and development company and am working with cutting edge technology. At the end of the apprenticeship, I had an issue with my synaptic project caused by an error I hadn’t encountered. I managed to resolve the issue but it took up a large portion of my time, even with this set back I was able to pass the apprenticeship. This was in no small part due to Sunnia’s advice and aid during the creation of my portfolio which pushed my overall grade to a pass rather than fail. I would highly recommend this training provider and thank them for everything they have done for me in the last year and a half. From January 2019 to October 2020

Oct 14,2020I used Now Skills to start my apprenticeship scheme and rick set me up with a company where i got the job and smashed the interview. He helped me achieve this lots by sending over information to help, regularly calling me to check how I was doing regarding it and helped in any way possible. He has done an amazing job, Thanks Rick and the rest of the team that helped me throughout this

Oct 11,2020Gained employment fast, plus I recieved good guidance on the process. As someone who has left university and has been out of formal education for 3 years, an apprenticeship felt like the next logical step to forwarding my career. NowSkills explained this to me further, Paul and Quincy's tailored guidance on the matter lead my application and interviews to be well informed, which resulted in gainful employment succinctly. Additionally, the skills offered and job match fitted me perfectly and I was able to make the right decision. I would recommend NowSkills to other new software/industry creators.

Oct 05,2020I'm really thankful to everyone at Nowskills mainly Quincy as he has helped me find a really good job. Nowskills have gotten back to me very quick when I applied and two weeks later I was already at the company, they have been quick to respond to any questions I had and helpful with anything I needed help with.

Sep 16,2020The process was very straight forward from start to finish (many thanks to Quincy and Paul). Very responsive and extremely helpful, resulting in a job offer! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Jul 09,2020I have been a Digital Marketing apprentice for 8 months now. In that time my NowSkills tutor, Amy and my employer have really lifted my confidence in myself. The "off the job" learning courses have been informative but not overwhelming for a complete novice like myself. Amy, my tutor has been supportive every step of the way. Regularly checking in and answering questions quickly, no matter how big or small. With this apprenticeship I have found my passion and I am really looking forward to the career this apprenticeship is enabling me to pursue. Thanks NowSkills!

Mar 06,2020Great service, helped me find an apprenticeship opportunity very promptly. The representative I was mainly in contact with was Quincy who was very friendly and attentive - he made sure I had everything I needed before each interview and helped with any questions or queries I had. I was also provided with some helpful resources from NowSkills which enabled me to work on different skills within the specific field. Over all a high quality service and a great experience!
