I also learnt the proper process and the right way to install. Jason is very knowledgeable and experienced tutor. He is absolutely amazing. Very Very highly recommended for beginners or even someone who have had not so much hands on experience with air con.
Vic SinghOwner
2024 - Heat Pump Installers Course. Jason goes over and above to make sure people understand what, when and how. Jason’s passion for the industry is certainly known and passed on through his teachings with nothing but the students best interests in mind. I completed my split systems and fillers license through Skillsure, with Jason, and I could not recommend Jason and SkillSure enough.
Aaron KembleDirector
April 2024 - Refrigerant Fillers Course. This is a very good course. To the point. I left the course with a better understanding and an app, which guides you through checks, calculations, right through to disposal of recovered refrigerant. Jason gave a very good delivery of the material. He kept the course interesting through his long experience in the industry, anecdotes and some good British humour.
Charly FreyOwner / Operator
