Feedback from our Learners

Testimonials

I found ADP while searching for ARPL electrician courses, and they were the first to respond with a friendly call after my email enquiry. Nicolette and the staff were welcoming and helpful, and Mr Muyaya shared his extensive knowledge generously. The training was fast-paced, enjoyable, and valuable. Ma’am Lerato helped with important trade test details, while Lenah kept us focused on fault-finding and drawings. I am grateful for the training, which prepared me well for future opportunities in the electrical field. ADP is truly a cut above the rest.

I found this training very thorough. Someone I work with recommended that I come here. When I arrived, I found lovely, kind, and loyal teachers, Lerato and Mr Muyaya. Their teaching skills are very impressive. I was really struggling, but they were patient with me, and I really appreciate that. I will continue to be kind to people, just as they were kind to me. I never really had parents to educate me. May the good Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Stay blessed.

It was a wonderful experience studying with ADP Electrical and Training. They have professional facilitators and enough resources to produce well-informed, skilled artisans. I appreciate their help and support throughout my training journey. Thank you, ADP. May God help the training centre continue to grow.

Tumelo

This was a good experience in my life, working with professional staff who were ready to help. They are strict but friendly, with sufficient knowledge to support students. My wish is for them to expand across South Africa to help more people. I would like to thank everyone, from administration to facilitators, and everyone who works for ADP, for their good work.
