BUP – Basic Electrical Upskilling Reviews

The course is not worth £2100 + vat. The lecturer knows absolutely nothing and had to ask for help from 3 other trainers and still couldn’t help us set the circuit board up, they thought it was hilarious that it was costing our company £1000 per day for the four of us. Him showing us what to do was jabbing wired in all over the circuit until he found the correct terminal, which obviously I couldn’t do without causing serious issues back at work. In the 2 weeks I was at the faraday centre he was telling us to drag out our breaks and get stuck in traffic to waste some of the day as it’s death by power point and he’s sick of it. He is a hv experienced electrician and quoting him he knows nothing about lv but is trying to give us training, which is an absolute joke. We have learned absolutely nothing but according to the lecturer you don’t need to know anything as you don’t need to be a good electrician just a lucky one. We were told to just fill the time and do what we wanted one day in the second week as he was sick after doing 200+ slides in power point presentations which isn’t surprising as the whole first week and 3/4 of the second week was power points. For most of the fortnight i was there the lecturer was on his phone or on his computer booking a holiday to Germany. I could go on and on but I’ve wasted enough of my life on this to go back to work with no extra skill at all.

Very good course! Practical was good!

Great course, facilities good, lecturer brilliant. Really enjoyable first week

I think more practice low voltage testing and wiring would be great otherwise great course

Very in-depth practical and theory training during course, personally I felt have gained even more more knowledge about electricity and electrics in a short period of time due the time spent by the instructor and his patience during the course. Excellent

Great informative course, great catering services and polite staff in the centre

Worthwhile, informative course

Have additional power supplies for board testing.

Contents of the course are well put together and put across extremely well by the trainer.

Great practical training on wiring a control circuit and the making modifications etc.
