I got more knowledge about electricity hazard, risk and control precautions. It very useful to lead our electrical activities to perform safe side. Improved my knowledge by course.

Training was really amazing . learned procedure in isolation and reinstate programe , very helpful and i follow this in my future . Thanks for trainee he clear all my doubts Thanks to IAN Thanks Faraday

Great course, in-depth of knowledge and experience. Would highly recommend

Lecturer very knowledgeable and helpful. Course possibly too in depth for the job we carry out.

The course was not tailored to out needs as operators. It was more aimed at electricians and technicians

The course was aimed at electricians but our job is being an operator who can isolate certain things for our job role.

too in depth for what we needed

Issues with content supplied by company, trainer very good

Course put together well, possibly include a few more test methods / examples. Overall, fantastic insight to cable sheath testing.

Did not learn one thing on this course! The course isn’t worth 1p never mind the £2000+ my company was charged! 90% of the course was PowerPoints with lecturer just reading through them for hours! Lecture asked us to take extended breaks to waste time. When asked questions the lectures answer was always the same “I don’t know I worked on HV not LV” which is not helpful! 1 day we spend 6 hours wiring in a single timer as lecture “hadn’t a clue how to do it” even after asking for help himself and then being shown by 3 other lectures still no clue! The few practicals we did were not even planned out and the lecture didn’t know how to do them!!! As a group we would get stuck and ask him for help to be replied with “honestly guys I haven’t a clue”. How is this the environment for learning! The course is about upskilling but PowerPoints don’t increase a persons skills. When fault finding the lecture would pull the wire out and jab it into different terminals to see how it would react but this is not realistic to be doing in our jobs as this would cause tripping, blown fuses and huge downtime! The lecture when informed by all 4 of us that he wasn’t teaching us at all and we all don’t understand the diagram he replied with “you don’t need to understand it as you don’t need to be a good electrician you just need to be a lucky one”. The lecture also said that we shouldn’t use multimeters but instead got us to test machinery with equipment from the 1960s not realistic for a modern work environment. The lecture also spend the last 3 days sitting at his desk booking a stag do on the PC taking the diagram we needed to view OFF the big screen to display his Germany stag do flights. When we informed the lecture and another lecture in the room that this course was £250 a head so £1000 a day for 4 of us they both couldn’t believe it and began laughing hysterically. All in all this ‘training’ if you can call it that has been a total waste of time and money not 1 thing learned and no skills improved now all 4 of us are having to go back to work after 2 weeks with our work gaining nothing from the money invested!
