City and Guilds 2391-52, Initial and Periodic Inspection and Testing of Electrical Installations Reviews

John was a fantastic tutor and I have no complaints about him whatsoever ever and hope to see him again. However The Course is not long enough! This course should be at least 3-4 weeks to be able to actually learn and absorb the information. This shouldn’t be called a course as you’re not learning anything, only how to pass an exam. Too much information to take onboard in such a short time. This is more about making money than it is about educating electricians to be able to verify the safety of an electrical installation. This is at best a refresher course. The documents that you can sign after doing just a four day course, which could potentially cause harm or at worst case death. This is absolutely criminal. A wrongly filled in document or wrongly identified installation could land you prison if filled out in-correctly. How can you say that in four days you can competently teach all this information to a student. If anything this has put me off testing in my career as I don’t get paid enough to have this sort of responsibility on my head with such little training. I am an experienced Electrician of 11 years.

Tutor was extremely ineffective at being a trainer. This was the worst course I have ever been on. I wrote an email of complaint and was told management would contact me but they have not. Two students walked out on 1st day due to the tutors lack of training ability and I walked out on day two - he was crap. I'll never attend that centre again.

Having recently completing a self funded domestic electrical course and achieving an average of 85% on all online exams with another provider I decided to try technique after reading their advertising on the website I felt confident to achieve the above course I knew it would be challenging but I was determined and committed to try my best though hard work and commitment arriving on Monday morning I was greeted by lovely people and briefly shown around my first impression was a cold unfinished unit with areas resembling a building site the classroom was completed but lacked any helpful information like testing procedures on posters to cater for new learners who wanted to be taught the correct procedures and get hands on tuition to guide the learner though the process required to complete the course to a learning standard but sadly this didn’t happen the course was rushed though and although any questions asked to the tutor were answered I felt that important information were lacking and the word fail was frequently spoken and the frequency of failure of the course very apparent it would have been nice being shown the correct procedures of testing hands on from experienced tutors demonstrating and sharing his skills to support our learning experience but sadly this week I wasn’t shown that and felt left in the cold regarding these important procedures with the reassurance that you could pay extra to have more time to practice but this is ok if the learner had the knowledge to do the completion of testing and inspection unaided hence the reason why we come to learn Steve was a great guy very friendly but more guidance would have been helpful I’m sorry to say I won’t be recommending your company for training I hope this insight is taken onboard And this feedback is reviewed

Course should only be advertised for experienced electricians. Knowledge of three phase and 18th edition is not enough. For people with less extensive electrical background, a two week course length would greatly improve it and enhance the ability of students to pass. Nowhere near enough information was provided by Learn Techniques about the details and make up of the course. Having access to a reading list beforehand and online mock tests would have greatly benefited.
