WHY CHOSE EAS MECHANICAL?
EAS' training centre was established to address the lack of quality training options for beginners to time-served engineers in our industry. We introduced a straightforward vision for training with the available schemes at EAS to ensure you receive the best outcomes in a cost-effective manner.
By running small groups (maximum 1:14), EAS can focus more on delivery, providing a superior overall learning and development experience. We have found that apprentices respond well to our learning system, which allows us to better manage the group's development and challenge those who excel. We promote a mature learning environment where everyone works as a team and is included.
What sets us apart? For apprenticeship delivery, our commitment to you, the employer, means that each morning you will receive an email confirming if your apprentice(s) have not attended college. We will review progression with you personally or with a supervisor every 12 weeks so you know exactly what has been delivered, if there are any issues, and what needs to happen in the future to help your apprentice(s) flourish. We listen to and act upon your concerns, and we encourage you to visit the centre for a cup of tea and a chat. This not only provides you with peace of mind but also lets your apprentice know we work together.
Our results speak for themselves. We aim to be significantly above national benchmarks.
You won't hear any complaints from your apprentices about not having tools or materials, that's for sure. Nor will they be taught strictly by the book, sent to the library, or sent home because the tutor didn't show up. EAS has listened to employers' feedback on previously used providers, and these points are always raised and actioned. We promise this will never happen unless something drastic and completely out of our control occurs.
THE CENTRE
Located in the heart of Northampton, the EAS Mechanical Ltd training centre offers government-funded apprenticeships in Plumbing & Heating, Electrical Installation, Building Services Engineering Installation (Heating and Ventilation), and Gas for individuals employed locally and beyond. All qualifications are delivered to Level 2 and Level 3 standards, and are enhanced where possible by various manufacturers showcasing new products or technology. We also encourage candidates to enrol in regional competitions to really showcase their skills, potentially leading to international opportunities with World Skills UK, as we achieved in 2018.
Theory delivery takes place in the classroom, where candidates can enjoy comfy chairs and are allowed drinks and snacks. Our workshop is equipped with the latest Ridgid tools on the market, and we have all the materials needed to hone those important skills and ensure progression on the course. Please feel free to pop in and have a look around!
EAS also provide an extensive range of short courses for existing operatives.

“Using EAS Mechanical has been the best thing we have done in a long time. We were not sure whether to take on another apprentice as we felt weren't getting the service we should have done. Luckily I noticed EAS whilst at the merchant, popped in for a chat and by July I had a new apprentice. We are doing really well and he's nearly finished his Level 2 so the next step is to get him training on his Level 3 and Gas"
