Testimonials

Don’t just take our word for it…

 

ATS Group are an extremely professional organisation.

They were tasked with completing 41 bricklaying NVQ’s for our workforce, across the south of the UK. They were completed in an acceptable time-frame and throughout both their office staff and the assessors were a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for training or a form of NVQ assessment, I would give these a try.
