Able Skills acts as a credit intermediary and only offers credit products for DEKOLtd via Omni Capital Finance. Credit provided subject to age and status.
All loans are subject to status. You must be at least 18 years old and a permanent resident in the UK. Customers from outside the UK cannot apply for finance for Able Skills courses.
Monthly repayments are taken by direct debit. Your finance agreement starts from when you receive your confirmation details (usually when you book the course) and you don't start repaying your loan until a month after this date.
In line with distance-selling regulations, you have 14 days from the date you sign your agreement to change your mind about the loan. If you simply wish to change your mind about the loan but still attend your course, you must contact Able Skills and pay for your course in full using an alternative method. Please bear in mind that if you are not accepted for credit finance, you do have the option at Able Skills to pay as you train – interest free. Once the new payment has been verified, Able Skills will cancel your credit agreement and DEKO will return your original deposit.
Founded in 2008, DEKO is the UK’s fastest growing provider of point of sale consumer finance.

How do you know which training provider to choose when there are so many to choose from? Some areas to consider could be:
4. Can you visit the Training Provider without an appointment?
Able Skills is an accredited centre securing approval to deliver qualification training from City & Guilds, EAL, CITB and BPEC, for Electrical training, we are also an IET Centre of Excellence. We are amongst the few training providers who can offer you progression and if qualifications are your choice – take you from novice to expert.
All of our Instructors are time served and construction specific qualified but each tutor has also achieved the required teaching and assessing awards. All of our Instructors work full time at Able Skills and only deliver the courses which they are qualified to do. We are very proud of the staff employed at Able Skills; please visit our staff page to see potentially who your instructor may be. Having full time dedicated staff allows us to run all of our courses all of the time in dedicated training areas.
All of the training available varies in price; we are not the cheapest but we are not the most expensive. We do believe in providing a value for money service and we have no hidden costs, no extras to pay and all of our costs include VAT. We do believe that everyone should have access to training which is why we offer the most reasonable payment plans.
We are open 7 days every week including Bank Holidays (Excluding Christmas) and we welcome visitors to our Centre at any time. We do not require you to make an appointment; please feel free to turn up to look at what we do, meet our staff and chat with existing students. From a location point of view we are well situated for road, rail and bus links and if you consider that we are worth the journey, we have our own accommodation which is local to the Training Centre and complete with all amenities.
Able Skills has been providing construction training since 2002.
We do not hard sell, cold call or visit your home – We do not employ a Sales Team!
When you call or visit with an enquiry, we will always make it clear as to what you can expect from the training you are seeking and also provide you with details of what your options are should you choose to take your training to the next level.
We are aware that not everyone is seeking a qualification but we continue to ensure that even these programmes are taught by qualified instructors so you are assured that you are treated with the same dedication as those training for qualifications.
If qualifications are your aim, Able Skills has the relevant approvals in place to progress you. We can offer qualifications at levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 and as an NVQ assessment centre we fully understand the processes in place to obtain an NVQ. Some training centres will lead you to believe that an NVQ can be achieved within a training environment or without underpinning knowledge, this is not the case. For the correct guidance on achieving an NVQ, please visit the relevant pages within this site.
If we can’t offer you what you want, we will tell you and try and redirect you to the best of our ability. We can guide you in the right direction once we know what you are looking to achieve, your options vary dependent upon what trade you are interested in, whether you are considering employment or self-employment and what kind of time you have available to you. We know the construction industry well and consistently remain up to date with changes and practices to ensure the highest level of training is available at Able Skills.
We hope that this has helped you choose the right Training Centre for YOU
"Did the JIB Gold Card package, incredibly good value for money, great lecturers, good facilities. I learned so much more than I thought was required to become an Electrician. Excellent support from the centre, it was all really good and I'm really pleased. My company will be using Able Skills for any training needs moving forward..."
