The Faraday Centre Reviews

Good to have plenty of practical training on the switchgear and the site had the equipment we had on site.

Eddie is a lovely guy with plenty of knowledge. He has plenty of stories with relevance to the course which he has gained over his many years experience. I have previously completed the S4 course and have moved employers who wanted me to come and do the S9. With having previous experience and knowledge above the S9 I did sometimes find it slow, however it was nice to get some refresher training and I did still learn from Eddie. It's nice to get lunch and refreshments included. Some food was better than others. Overall a good experience and nice to be able to network with others within the same field as me.

Excellent facility with a good variety of switch gear. Very knowledgeable trainer (Gary Wilson) Sign post system on switch gear identification eas very confusing and would be a concern if in real life.

Knowledgeable instructors. Plenty of kit to work on. Would have liked some more time on protection, but we told the instructor we are all HV SAP trained so they maybe assumed more knowledge known already. Tutor was happy to re visit any areas we asked about. And asked each day if we wanted to see anything in particular or any things we need to go over. Nice Q and A session at start of each day to help prep for exam. Not keen on the signpost system for id of circuits . Doesn't seem to present in any current industry, but a hang up from steel mill of old. In all, helped to re affirm some fundamentals and refresh the memory.

Overall S4 course and course materials are good. Learned switching programs and operation are helpful to work on field. ( commissioning of the Generator and BESS system)

Thanks

Good knowledge from Dave. Good course atmosphere

Effective and applicable for daily work

The course was good and to the point. Very good to start switching who hasn’t done before

Explanation surrounding the assessment exercise would benefit from some more detail, it’s slightly ambiguous.
