Seriously, this was the worst course I have attended in my 40 year career in engineering. We should not be invoiced for this; we lost 4 man days and learnt almost nothing. There was not enough preparation and we had only finished the induction by the time we took first break at 10am. The course materials were poor and must surely have been written by someone with no experience of ROV or subsea vehicle systems. The equipment did not function in the practical area. There was no structure to the course at all. The instructor clearly had plenty of electrical experience but in power stations or DNO environments, NOT in marine, especially subsea vehicles. Any questions I asked were skirted around, I suspect because of lack of knowledge in the specialist area.

Great lecturer. Made you feel at ease and allowed a small element of fun which is good in a learning environment. I would love a proper cup of tea. A kettle and some tea bags wouldn’t go amiss

I know there is a lot of necessary syllabus to cover but the course would benefit from a bit more " hands on" content to bolster the learning objectives
