MAR4/OS4 – The Safe Operation of Marine/Offshore High Voltage Power Systems (Full High Voltage Authorisation) Reviews

An ok course, could do with updating to factor in new technologies, methods of teaching. Lecturers were experienced, competent and always helpful. Facilities were clean and comfortable, free tea and coffee But Did not need to be 5 days, i would say 2/3 days max would suffice. Suggest sharing course plan (day by day breakdown) and notes with example questions included to complete prior to commencement so students can see where they have knowledge gaps and then focus on those during attendance. In fact attendance is really only needed for the pratical training and test. Would have appreciated more time on practical equipment. In a room full of many (20-30) pieces of switchgear, i operated only 3. Some of the switchgear was broken not operating as it should, which was disappointing. I understand the format is necessary as the only way to get some people over the line but think a pre course test may help seperate/filter competent from ignorant/less academic types. Pre Course communication was poor needed to chase for clarification and there was still confusion when I arrived (not notified about pre attendance site safety induction, lunch arrangements)
