PLC 10 Reviews

Overall I enjoyed the course. If I had any issues understanding the subject, the tutor was more than happy to help me. Gained some basic knowledge of inputting into a PLC. Would have preferred If we had some more hands on with in-depth machines that we may be using in industry.

well explained and supportive tutor

Good food.

The course was a good introduction to PLC's. Slightly disappointed that there wasn't much opportunity to use more in-depth systems instead of just pushbuttons with lights. But it has provided a good base knowledge.

During the course there was a number of technical issues with the equipment. Although the tutor did all he can to resolve the issues they kept re-occurring on the equipment. This became particularly frustrating during assessments when a lot of time was spent waiting for equipment to come back online. Apart from this, when the equipment worked, it did support learning well. The instructor was very knowledgeable and I feel like I have learned a lot during the course.

enjoyable course

good course well instructed

First week could have been better, there were too many students, and trying to teach Siemens and AB at the same time meant most instructions were not relevant to half the class all the time. Perhaps a day focused on AB and a day focused on Siemens, with all class on matching architecture for that period would work better. Then the next 3 days students choose which system to continue with.

PLC Course could of been better, i came with no knowledge to write a program so i'm happy with that progression. however first week there was 11 people which was too many candidates. 6 were on simens and 5 on allen bradley, so the first week was very confusing because the instructor had to explain functions for both per 1 instruction. so essentially half of your learning day is irrelevant. if it was planned out better and the equipment was up to date, i could of progressed further.

Overall course and teacher was very good. Just wish there was a location closer to home. Course was slightly too long because everyone finished the project work early. Luckily our teacher decided to teach some things not on the curriculum. Very satisfied
