5 Minutes With Matt Wileman, London Gas Trainee

The owner of a building business, Matt Wileman was looking to add gas engineering to the services offered by his business. To do so, Matt enrolled on the Options Skills gas training course, becoming a gas trainee. Matt was able to take advantage of the flexible training options provided here, fitting training around managing his business.

Becoming a gas trainee with Options Skills allowed him to expand his skill set and earning potential. He can undertake work that he would have previously relied on a third party to do. Upon qualifying, Matt has been able to cut back on the heavy lifting he once did in construction. Instead, he focuses on gas work.

Here is what Matt Wileman had to say about his training with us:

“I have been the owner of a building business covering the Tamworth and Midlands areas for the past 20 years. I had been searching for a gas course on the internet and contacted 3 different businesses before joining Options Skills.

The lecturers did a good job of giving us the core gas safety knowledge we needed and the confidence to go out with our mentors. The trainers at Options Skills are very approachable, there when you need them and strict but fair.

The gas course gave me the freedom to train around my business and get qualified. Now that I have completed the training I plan to cut down on the heavy lifting from construction work and undertake more gas work. “

Upon leaving Matt Wileman summed up his training with:

“The gas course gave me the freedom to train around my business.”

Matt trained to become a fully qualified gas engineer with Options Skills at our London training centre. We also have centres in Birmingham and Manchester. People from all over the UK and overseas travel to train with us.
