The Faraday Centre Reviews

Good overall course, good material, practical equipment and good delivery

Excellent course presented by experienced professionals in the field/industry, clear concise and valuable practical experience on a variety of switch gear and apparatus. Will certainly recommend to colleagues and professionals.

More could be fit into the time slots e. Finishing later 430pm

Good amount of theory and practical. Well presented course.

Excellent course. Very beneficial for my role. Could do with more variety of relays, ie differential, distance protection.

Overall the course was good. Possible improvements to consider: crib sheets for each piece of equipment i.e. each tester and each relay. The crib sheets could include menu structure of each item. Other improvements could be to have more structure to the Tues to Fri sessions. Perhaps half a day max on each relay allowing time to see more of the equipment.

For the advanced training course it would be nice to do practical testing of the advanced protection features. E.g. Distance protection, Differential Protection, directional overcurrent and reverse power testing. Also I think it would be beneficial to go through the connections on the test block rather than being pre wired, I think it would be beneficial to have candidates wire the test blocks themselves to better help understand what cables are required for different tests.

Informative course. Delivered well

Good course, clear explanations, good venue and food. Not all content was relevant to me but relevant content was delivered well.

I enjoyed the knowledge that the lecture shared with me and it was very informative and he explained each bit very well but the only issue I have with the course is that I work for a company which is an IDNO, we own multiple electric networks all over the country, very similar to your DNOs such as National grid and northern power grid, the course was very much based on what we would call private networks, where as we own distribution substations which have an RN2D HV switch and then either an ACB or 3 sets of main fuses per cable which will feed the houses and street lights, the ACB section was covered very well but there wasn’t anything on mains fusing. Overall i enjoyed the course but I think there should be another course for switching and fusing, unless I was put on the wrong course.
