What Our Clients Say
I have just enrolled on my NVQ and the process was made very straight forward by Asim Hussain, thank you so much for all your help.
Asim was really helpful, providing timely responses and explaining every query clearly!
Asim Hussain was really helpful and he gave me all the information that I needed and I also managed to fill in the application with his help
I’ve recently completed my QCF Level 5 in Leadership and Management in Adult Care with Access Skills, and I can honestly say it’s been a challenging but incredibly rewarding journey.
The course content was thorough and relevant to real-life practice, giving me the tools I needed to grow both professionally and personally. It was hard work – especially balancing studies with running a care business – but absolutely worth the effort.
I want to give special thanks to Dawn, who was absolutely fantastic throughout. Her guidance, encouragement, and expert knowledge made a real difference and helped keep me on track during the tougher parts of the course. She genuinely cared and went the extra mile, which I’ll always be grateful for.
If you’re thinking about doing your Level 5, I highly recommend Access Skills. Be prepared to put in the work – but know that the support is there, and the outcome is well worth it.

Always replied to my emails promptly.

Just under two months into my course, I’m truly amazed at how much I’ve learned as a medical practitioner. The course is exceptionally well-structured and offers valuable insights not only for professionals in the health and social care sector but for anyone who interacts with adults whether as friends, family members, or caregivers. Conflict resolution and management are essential life skills, and this course has highlighted just how relevant they are in our daily lives. I highly recommend Access Skills to everyone. And I cannot conclude without thanking the excellent support team most notably Brighton.
Asim Hussain made my experience so seamless. Service was excellent.. very satisfactory.
I communicated with Accsess Skills Ltd just for enquiry purposes, I found myself committing to a course and even completing forms online. I attribute this to skillful marketing as well as expert customer care. It was easy for me to come to a decision because of the time taken to advise and inform me about the programmes on offer.👌Keep up the good work 👏.
I have been in contact with Asim Hussain for a few months now. I had a lot of queries around which course and training would be best for my career progression and Asim has very patiently taken the time to help me choose the right one. I am now enrolled in the NVQ 3 and look forward to begin my learning. I highly recommend anyone planning on taking up courses with Access Skills to go for it as they are very professional and guide you in the right manner.
