Good to have plenty of practical training on the switchgear and the site had the equipment we had on site.

Eddie is a lovely guy with plenty of knowledge. He has plenty of stories with relevance to the course which he has gained over his many years experience. I have previously completed the S4 course and have moved employers who wanted me to come and do the S9. With having previous experience and knowledge above the S9 I did sometimes find it slow, however it was nice to get some refresher training and I did still learn from Eddie. It's nice to get lunch and refreshments included. Some food was better than others. Overall a good experience and nice to be able to network with others within the same field as me.

Good demonstration of how to safely isolate and secure many variations of HV switchgear. Good training on how to correctly write switching surveys for isolations and regeneration of supplies. I have gained more technical knowledge and more confidence going forward.

Jason was amazing lecturer, so helpful had loads of knowledge to help someone that has never done this before. He made the course fun, making you want to be there. Made me feel more comfortable and confident going in to my S4 course after.
