I?ve just completed and passed my Mechelec course that I did over the past 3 years in my apprenticeship with gulam bakawala as my teacher, thanks to his teaching and constant push to do more than the minimum I?ve managed to acquire this qualification and start my career, great guy and solid teacher.

I've recently just sat the VDA full route training and accreditation course at S & B training academy. My Instructor James Woodman's method of training can only be described as exceptional. He turned what can be an anxious and daunting experience into an enjoyable and relaxed one. His knowledge is incredible and he explains all areas / aspects of the course easily without over complicating things. The training was delivered in a way that was easy to understand the task ahead and what is expected of you to get you through successfully.Any questions that were raised with James were answered clearly giving me and my peers a greater all round understanding when unsure.I would like to express my thanks to all at S & B especially James Woodman for making my experience with them a great one!Keep up the fantastic work everybody!

I recently attended the VDA accreditation.I was told before I attended that it was a challenging however James explained everything very clearly and made me feel at ease giving me the confidence to succeed.I highly recommend the courses at a and b training academy and James as an assessor.

I have carried out my last three IMI accreditations at S&B and have always had a positive experience. I have always found James Woodman to be knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend S&B for any training needs.

Recently completed Light Vehicle Inspection with James Woodman. A very interesting course and I learnt so much over the 2 days I spent here. James makes everything so easy and explains it just how you need to know it! Would 100% recommend!

I went to S and B college while doing my apprenticeship, they were very helpful all through out and especially when it came to my EPA, I was struggling with one of my theory exams, so my tutor Ben spent a whole week helping me prepare for my exam and I then passed it

Recently carried out VDA accreditation, very positive experience, something that i and im sure others never look forward to having to do. However James made me feel at ease and gave me the confidence to succeed in this stressful situation. Highly recommended courses at S&B Automotive Academy.

My time at S&B was an undoubted success overall.I achieved a Distinction in Level 3 Heavy Vehicle, and all of this was made possible by Martin Smith, of which I owe a great deal of gratitude to.He is one of the most knowledgeable professionals I have encountered during my time in the industry, not to mention an exceptional lecturer , and will certainly go down as one of the most influential people in my own career in years to come.A special mention also goes to Nick Lewis for his reassuringly laid back, but incredibly in depth teaching.Martin and Nick, thank you for your patience, care and perseverance.

My time at the college has been good, they have facilities that help develop your learning massively. Majority of teachers take the time to help where needed. My issue is that I feel there is not enough time taken in the workshop throughout the 3 years here but apart from that, this college is highly recommended.

Upon finally finishing all my exams id like to recommend my lecture Jerry Coole (paint department) he has gone above and beyond helping to get me through the exams and making sure i had everything in place thats needed. A brilliant lecturer with tons of experience and knowledge.The overall experience at s&b unfortunately wasn't great due to both covid (which couldn?t be helped) and the amount of lectures we have had over the 4 years, However jerry did a brilliant job with our last few blocks and helped us gain the knowledge and confidence needed and get up to scratch in a short time frame. Honestly Cant thank him enough!would definitely recommend the paint technician course.
