A good course given by 2 experienced and enthusiastic instructors, good facilities. Only criticism would be that some of the equipment and practices are now quite dated eg switching in front of boards and been able to apply earth switches without satisfying interlocks / castell key system

Less focus on Faraday rules which don’t apply to most other companies and more focus on the principles of switching would improve course.

The course is well structured. Our lecturer Steve is experienced, knowledgeable and a truly nice guy :) I would say that the naming of the equipment could be shorter e.g TX 1 as opposed to Transformer 1 etc as I couldn't fit full addresses on the permits or switching schedules :(
