The Faraday Centre 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.

The course was not specific to the job role that we do and the content has no relevance to our role. The course should have more content that we can use in our job.

The course printed materials contained the information I wished to learn, however the tutor was not knowledgeable enough to do anything except show the power point slides. The tutor did not attempt to explain the slides, or even read them out, merely presenting them on a screen. The tutor did not attempt to cover all the modules in the course materials, and would have terminated the course at the beginning of the second day except that we requested to look at Harmonics. (which he could not explain, merely showing the power point slides). VERY disappointing course; would have been good if the tutor matched the materials. The tutor was pleasant enough, but was not the right person the deliver this course.

I didn't find the course relevant in regards to what I will be doing in the workshop.

In general it was a great course and i took benefit from it .

Great course
