Been looking for training and have found ATL...

Wondering what the perspective within the industry is.
My last job has died and to be honest the industry I am working in isn't somewhere I want to stay.
Looking to retrain in the renewable energy industry and found ATL.
Obviously they are keen to sell themselves, but I wondered what people's experience of them and the service they offer has been... plumbing would be a part of the training I would take up but what's ATL's reputation like amongst professional plumbers?

Really appreciate feedback if anyone has the time.

Much obliged.

ATL Where?

Its actually home training online with a few weeks practical at the nearest ATL facility... most plumbers and other industries like electrical all say hands on is where you learn, so I'm wary... but I wanted to know what their rep was like amongst people actually working in the industry?

Do you know them? Have any views on them?

i don't know if it is true but i read elsewhere on here that ATL had gone into receivership

I done my City & Guilds Plumbing course (from Train 4 Trade Skills) and it was based at ATL in Featherstone (near Pontefract)
They were very good - excellent tutors, place & equipment
I finished my course in Jan 2012, so dont know about Steveb's comment
