S4 - The safe Operation of High Voltage Power Systems (Full High Voltage Authorisation) Reviews

Couldn’t fault course venue, equipment and lecturers. However i believe the CBRE documentation could do with some improvements

The course is excellent, only one thing requires improvement. The course materials need to be provided to candidates at least one week before the start of the course to give candidates to go through them, as the course period is short.

Everyone was polite and the two gentlemen running the course couldn’t do enough for us. I learned a lot and would like to thank all those who work at the faraday centre!

Davie & Eddie were very professional, knowledgeable and delivered the course content in a relaxed manor. I'd like to know what Eddie has for breakfast, wow, what a character.

Good course, with friendly and knowledgeable lecturers who always seem happy to help. Certain parts of the course felt a bit rushed through. But on the whole they spent time on the more important aspects. I certainly feel a bit more confident following this course.

Well run and comprehensive

I have been to all of the providers and enjoyed this course. The facility and lectures were excellent, Andy was great. A couple of suggestions only regarding the cbre element. A better understanding of the paper work and Rules. I came to the course with alot of HV experience but as a new joiner to cbre wanted to come away with a better understanding of thr cbre way. I didn't really come away with this but possibly more questions. I don't think this is down to the lectures and think delivering thr Faraday standard course would be excellent but I think cbre could possibly provide better guidence for thr guys to deliver the course. Model terminology, fully filled out safety documents and safety switching programmes so candidates come away with exactly how cbre want them to conduct them selves in this role once coming says from the course. Also also of candidates from cbre come from data centers and the network doesn't have any systems they will likely come across. Motors, fuses and with drawable switchgear. If Faraday set up a typical data center system. Ups generator with parallel systems would give candidates more relevant experience coming away from the course with the systems they are likely to see. Either way great center, lectures and food. Enjoyed it.

Would be nice to switch to electronic switching schedules in this day and age. Also can we get a fizzy drinks vending machine for cold drinks. Overall good course well delivered.

Staff very helpful couldn’t do enough for me when had small problem with Taxi sorted out that day for rest of week. Lecturers always happy to take time and clear things up you not sure about on one to one basis. Lots interaction with equipment going to be using. Plus putting over how important these courses are for our safety and others by following procedures and not taking short cuts. This done by showing clips of incidents and the aftermath. A all round good and worth while course.

Steve delivered the course very well and handled the discussions around the content very well always took the time to ensure the correct outcome was achieved and I believe all present gained the required knowledge required to operate as HV AP’s for CBRE. A big thanks to Faraday and Steve for a really worthwhile and interesting course.
