The Faraday Centre Reviews

Good course, would like more practical sections. Level still a bit high in some parts for a Viridor AP.

Coarse original was set at APO level but the instructor amended it to SAP level

The course was very well delivered with a very knowledgeable trainer. However, from a viridor training perspective for APs I believe there should be more practical involvement in the course and maybe a little less legislation.

Arrived to find had been put in AP course instead of SAP. Course content needs revising to reflect AP roles and responsibilities. Day 1 was all on PowerPoint and about legislation which I believe is covered by Uniper in our SRT1 & SRT2 courses. Day 2 content had been amended to include some PSSR bits. The idea of deciding precautions to be taken from a drawing/in practice is done by the SAP at viridor and this content is way advanced for our new APs. I'd suggest that this course gives out isolation certificates and asks the delegates to perform isolations on running systems. Content about HSG 253 was good and relevant and I did learn from that. Course title reflects LOTOTO which the ERFs do not run with. We have permit office and roles. Old documentation shown in course from in excess of 6 years ago. Viridor logo very old and likely from a MRF site. I would happily be involved in amending the course content. Instructor was brilliant, cannot fault John but this course isn't right in its current format. Thank you

Great course and learnt a lot. Tutor very knowledgable and answered any questions I had

Great foundation to the key basics of generators

Knowledgable tutor with lots of experience. The course perhaps could’ve been designed better to deliver the required information.

Very well delivered and informative.

Well presented by very knowledgeable lecturer. Nothing was rushed and he ensured I understood the content if I was unsure.

Unfortunately the course material wasn’t what the lads from EDF were expecting. We were expecting a more LV related course but this was focused on HV. The course given to us would be ideal for employees looking to become SAPs. I think if the organisers through EDF had consulted the technicians on what we required a more suitable course could have been achieved. Norman was great and obviously a very knowledgeable guy and the facilities were spot on. Hopefully we can be back for a more suitable course
