Railfutures Anmeldelser 

I enjoyed the course and learnt a lot. Jalal was very informative and a great teacher explaining things so I understood. Very good.

Jalal Ahmed is a great tutor anything I was stuck or confused on he would explain in a way that made sense to me. We done everything at my pace which made it much easier for me to learn and overcome any obstacles I was facing

My experience in the rail future course was superb, out teacher Jalal Ahmed was outstanding, helpful, knowledgeable and over all amazing at teaching and really engaging us with the theory and practical side of the rail, I wouldn’t have wished for a better teacher!

I recommend this course 100% to all who are eager but hesitant as you will regret not taking it, Jalal, Claire and Kimberley have been so supportive and helpful in all aspects of the course making sure we are comfortable and on track.

We’ve had employers come and see us which was very motivating and so pleased to have that opportunity to ask questions about the job.

Again I must reiterate our teachers ( Jalal Ahmed, Claire and Kimberley was the main reason that really pushed me and made me love what I was learning and really made things great

The lecturer jalal Ahmed was super helpful to everyone on the course the Highbury staff Clare and Kimberley were very easy to talk to and very supportive we’ve had employers offer us jobs

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for such a wonderful course and for the exceptional guidance provided by our teacher, Al Kane. This course has been an incredible opportunity for anyone passionate about pursuing a career in railway engineering. The course itself is outstanding—it not only equips students with the necessary skills to earn a good living as railway engineers but also ignites a true passion for the profession.

Now, I want to share my thoughts about my teacher, Al Kane. Throughout my educational journey—be it high school, college, or other courses—I have never encountered a teacher like him. We have a diverse group of students in this course, with different backgrounds, religions, age groups, and many of us speaking English as a second language. Despite these differences, Al Kane’s approach to teaching has been nothing short of extraordinary.

He is incredibly passionate, patient, and understanding. His teaching methods are unparalleled—he treats every student equally and ensures no one is left behind. Although this course was condensed from 13 weeks into just 6 weeks, Al Kane managed to deliver a wealth of knowledge in such a short time. His ability to teach complex concepts clearly and effectively is truly remarkable, and he made sure every single student grasped the material.

Thanks to this course and such a talented teacher, I am confident that many of us will go on to become skilled and passionate railway engineers.

Thank you again for such a wonderful course and for providing us with an amazing teacher, Al Kane.
Best regards

Very good experience, very good teaching.

This course has been good and hopefully will help in the near future as I would like to do this as a career, I’d like to say a big thanks to our tutor Al Kane as he’s really made an effort and he is very much appreciated and he never fails to make us feel like we are more than capable of doing any task he sets out for us, he always boosts our confidence and is always looking to help us individually and as a team. If it wasn’t for him I’ll be honest I don’t think I’d be as happy or confident in the work that we do so I’d like to say a big thanks to our tutor for always supporting us and teaching us the course. 👍👍👍 living legend !!

The course was amazing and the tutors were great in their methods of teaching.

This course is superb, a brilliant kick start to a new career, giving you the tools and knowledge you need to embark on your journey into your first job on the railway. The course tutor Al is extremely passionate and knowledgable in equal measures, this shines through in his teaching. Cannot recommend highly enough!

I have started this course on 9th September at Stanmore College and it’s one of best experiences in lifetime. Learning about Tools, Machinery and Safety at work is really Enjoyable also it’s really helpful as well. My Tutor Al Kane, is Expert in Railway and Teaching us very clearly and also teaching in a way that everybody enjoys to learn.

It's been a good experience so far . I've learnt maths and different techniques . My skillset have increased. I've learnt how to work safely, how to use different sets of tools . And the course has been structured well by the tutor Al kane. Brilliant teacher, he's shown me and others different ways of understanding stuff and has gone over subjects that may be our weakest point . Also his delivery and attitude has been fast class and every lesson has been a great learning curve .

I have had a fantastic introduction to learning about the Rails. I have progressed in a major way this past 6 weeks.
The learning is very intense but without doubt very rewarding.
I couldn’t thank my tutor anymore then what he deserves, Jalal Ahmed was a fantastic person to learn from about everything to do with the rails.

Jalal made my experience learning about my new career very easy, although having doubts at first he soon made them go away and made things clear and simple for myself.

Also would like to thanks Claire and Kimberly, for always being there answering any questions I may have about the course or any advice I was seeking.

Thanks again to you three, what a great experience. Would highly recommend to anyone who is thinking about a brand new career in the Rails.

I'm just doing the course and it's been a great experience. Jalal Ahmed has been a great tutor. Claire and Kimberley have been very helpful with sorting out any issues I have had .

My experience with Railfutures is extremely positive, I studied for the level 2 rail engineering at COPC-Highbury campus and my trainer was Jalal Ahmed. When I heard it was in a class I was hesitant but Jalal made the course enjoyable and didn’t feel like a chore. He explained everything in detail which made it super easy to understand, Claire Attika & Kimberly sayers was also a huge part of the program, went above and beyond to help us with any enquiry. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to get into working on the rail.

Everyone at the city of Portsmouth college was extremely helpful in aiding me with any issues I had on the course. My tutor Jalal was very honest and transparent about the work at hand and wasn't shy about answering any questions any of us had all throughout the course. Sending a big thanks to Claire and Kimberly for all their help behind the scenes. My overall experience was smooth and seamless and I expect to follow on with gainful employment due to the efforts that everyone has made.

I have just completed the course at Highbury campus with Jalal Ahmed, who was hands down the best teacher I've ever had. A good man, good for a chat, good for a laugh and good at his job, the type of teacher that feels like a friend first without losing his student's respect or cutting corners on the course. The course itself was well presented, interesting, quite fun at times and the only real difficulty is remembering the odd specific detail, I'm looking forward to hopefully making a career with it and grateful to have attended.

I come on this Rail futures course which was recommended by a friend of mine, I find it really helpful. In my opinion it could be the best thing I ever done as the Teacher jalal is every helpful and I find it really easy to work with him. The help I got from Highbury college and Rail futures made the process really smooth.

I have completed the railfutures course at COPC, highbury campus. My teacher Jalal Ahmed alongside his colleagues, Claire Attika and Kimberley Sayers were all professional, helped me with any questions and made the whole course extremely smooth. My teacher was never shy to answer questions and he was friendly and easily approachable.
Huge thank you to all!

Jalal is the best trainer and tutor in my educational expiernce, beyond supportive and goes far and beyond with making sure we all understand and progress

I wanted a career change a few months back and a mate told me about a course to get me onto the railway so I jumped at the chance and gave it ago, I joined the course which was being done at Highbury college and was being run by a trainer called Jalal Ahmed who was extremely helpful from start to finish on the course and broke everything down and took his time to explain things & went above and beyond to help everyone on the course, answered any questions we had and even stayed late to help us out if we ever needed it.
