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.
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
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.
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
Overall I found the course very challenging. The ladder logic was difficult for the first week, but I started to grasp it later in the second week. The instructor was very knowledgeable, so far as finding it difficult that has to be down to my aptitude level. The facilities are very good with lunch thrown in as an added bonus. Thank you.
very well run course with exceptional knowledge from the tutor.
