Railfutures Reviews 

Course lead by Jalal Ahmed has been ran smoothly and comprehensible, got loads onboard on class which im really happy about!

Since starting rail futures, I learnt a lot about the railway thanks to my trainer jalal Ahmed, who was supportive throughout the course. Thank you

Jalal Ahmed was my tutor for the rail futures course and it was a brilliant and informative course.
Jalal delivered the course professionally which gave me the knowledge needed for a future on the railway. Overall the course was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and jalal is a fantastic tutor.

I wasnt expecting much from this course but i was totally proven wrong... i have learned more than i thought i could On the railfutures course. My tutor Jalal Ahmed clearly has a passion for seeing people succeed. And delivers the course with care to all levels of understanding. And would break things down if we struggled with a particular subject. I believe that this course is a real life changing opportunity. Thank you Jalal Ahmed and railfutures

Jalal Ahmed helped me with a lot of my work as I have dyslexia he made me understand the work better and help all of us as a class with the practical and help us all understand how the track life is

I really enjoyed my time on the course Jalal Ahmed was an amazing instructor patient and had great knowledge of the railway answered all queries I had thanks Jalal Ahmed was brilliant

I was one of 8 to complete a rail futures PTS course in Newham college in London this year. We then went on to a two week course at Higham park. Then nothing. Had we trained with another provider like Mcginley's we would get an interview and a posssible job but with Rail Futures it was like falling off a cliff edge. A month after completing the course not one of us have been offered even an interview, let alone any work.. One recruitment agency said to me they dont know how providers get away with training when there is no work. Stockwell employment agency said they have stopped working with Rail futures.....I think rail futures are simply taking advantage of government money.

I wasn't sure whether to attend the course as I haven't been in education for many years and I struggle to retain information but this course has been an eye opener.

I would like to give credit and a huge thank you to my tutor Jalal Ahmed. He was so patient and understanding during the course. Jalal's railway knowledge is impeccable. When I fell behind on the work he was happy to give me one to one session to help me catch up on the work.

I highly recommend this course and Jalal as your tutor if you want be taught and start a new career.

Thank you COPC and Rail Futures

I was sat in Salisbury Job Centre Plus, unemployed wondering what job to do next? When I received a call from Rail Futures Network Ltd.

It resulted in me enrolling in City of Portsmouth College, the outcome is I have gained two qualifications NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Rail Engineering Track Maintenance and Level 2 Certificate in Rail Engineering Underpinning Knowledge. I have a wealth of practical experience on a range of tasks including use of small plant and a plethora of tools on both a 9m Standard Gauge Test Track and also a functional 1.5 Miles Narrow Gauge in Hollycombe.

I would definitely recommend anyone fit with a good work ethic interested in a career change, gaining new qualifications, skills and experience that will get you hired, to speak to Rail Futures Network Ltd, make a positive change, it is the fast track to skilled employment.

Had a great time on this course. There's been a great learning environment from the start in both practical and class room sessions. Our teacher Al is very knowledgeable from personal experience and ensured we are all well prepared to start work on the railway.

Jalal Ahmed is an outstanding trainer tutor and mentor. He made the NVQ Level 2 Railway Engineering course easy to understand, supportive, and genuinely enjoyable. His knowledge of the railway industry is top-level, and he takes time to explain things properly. Thanks to Jalal, I felt confident in my work and fully prepared for the assessments. Highly recommended.

We had the best trainer jalal that made all the days worth coming in and we all had a right laugh along side learning the importance of the railways I would 100% recommend this course and trainer ( jalal ) to anyone that is stuck in what to do with life and can be a great outcome and change your life for the better for sure also made it easier for u to understand things and talk to

Jalal has been incredibly supportive throughout the entire course. Jalals knowledge of railway operations, safety procedures, and industry standards is outstanding, and he would always explain things clearly and in a way that’s easy to understand.

What stood out most was his patience and was willing to go the extra mile by helping me understand fully, or giving real-world examples from railway practice. Jalal was always approachable, professional, and genuinely committed to helping me succeed Thankyou Jalal you were the mutz nutz

Jalal Ahmed made this course an absolute blast to be part of. He was a knowledgeable instructor who always went above and beyond to help and assist. Dont think I've seen a better tutor and hope that our paths may cross again again.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on this course including both the theory and practical aspects of it. Couldn’t have asked for a better tutor to help us through this course, Jalal (our tutor) did a very good job in ensuring each and every one of us was up to speed with the knowledge and no one was falling behind, his additional knowledge of the occupation was extremely helpful in not only how to obtain work after the course but in which directions to strive to develop your career in the industry. Having employers visit to give us an idea of what work would be like was extremely helpful in addition we had a former student who was previously in our position talk to us and show us his path and the tickets etc he has obtained in the year he has been in this line of work this was great eye opener as to what can be achieved with the qualifications obtained by this course. The additional support from the college itself was very helpful.Kimberly Sayers has been open to all questions and queries showing great professionalism and punctuality when it came to communication between sponsors and getting that information to us as students as quick as possible. Overall great course with amazing people to teach it.

Great teacher Great advice thankyou jalal.

Jalal Ahmed is approachable tutor full of knowledge, he was like a friend to all students during the course. I enjoyed the course specially the practical side of it. the college helped us and provided everything we needed for the course. Will recommend this course and Jalal Ahmed.

Jalal did such a great job with teaching us. He’s extremely patient and always ensures that everyone understands the learning. I’m extremely grateful for having him as my tutor and I would recommend anyone to take part in this course.

My tutor, Jalal, was very knowledgeable and supportive. His attitude and compassion towards every student was amazing.
I looked forward to every day of the course because of Jalal's sense of humour and charisma.
I would also like to thank Kim who diligently supported our class with all the admin and paperwork.
