City and Guilds – Programmable Logic Controllers Reviews

Excellent, only drawback is im a slow learner so personally it takes me longer for stuff to sink in. But 10/10 on everything.

Well presented course that covered a more in depth way of looking at PLC and programming, the course certainly expanded my knowledge and helped me to understand information that before I struggled with a little. Would recommend the training centre as all questions were answered well with easy to understand answers and instructions. If we had more time it would have been beneficial to use both programming software and hardware from the multiple manufacturers, but for the purposes of the course understanding the logic was more important than what software was being used.

all in all i thought the course was exactly what it should have been, it served as a great introduction to PLCs.

Elliot was very good at relating his knowledge of both Siemens & Allen Bradley PLCs to the class so I felt like I gained alot of knowledge on both systems even though I was only using the S7 device.

I enjoyed this course but I think personally i might have needed more training to fully understand the subject.

Course provided a good overview of programming PLCs including the basic principles of logic and programming. There were aspects which were mentioned and not covered, i.e. use of the pneumatic rig to demonstrate PLC control. Elliot is very knowledgeable and very familiar with interfacing with PLCs and the software, which is the area I was most interested in. I did have a question relating to a PLC I am familiar with regarding BTW, BTR commands in Allen Bradley which he was unfamiliar with. Some aspects of the course were, in my eyes, taught in quite confusing way, for example number base systems. The lunch was okay for myself but nothing special. One of my colleagues however had his dietary requirements disregarded on two separate occasions.

Very good course, I was happy with the basics early on and would of liked to explore more complex areas of the program if time allowed. Elliot was very helpful throughout.

specified i wanted training on TIA siemens, was told over the phone that will be tailored for, never looked at TIA

The training sessions were very disorganised and i had to constantly prompt the trainer to cover the topics for the course i had booked. The trainer was constantly cutting the sessions short and did not seem to have the knowledge to cover the topics of the intermediate course i had been booked on.

Course was good to grasp the basic steps in PLC . however the systems used were older than the ones currently in place and would have been good to deal with the new systems at some point in the 5 day course. the 10 day apparently has time for these
