The Faraday Centre Reviews

This week is more practical, how ever still didn't learn anything on the relays the lecturer doesn't know how to set the relay timer and when one off the lads asked if he could set it up first and explain how it's done he said "he can't be arsed I only have a week left" he also said that he doesn't know anything about this course cause he never teachers this course and only knows HV and always does the HV course which another lecturer is doing who usually does this course meaning that we where purposely given the wrong lecturer...

This week was all power point presentations some had far too many slides and basically no practical I didn't feel like I learnt anything this way and there wasn't a proper explanation to what was being shown... Some power points we where told just to read the book of notes ourselves while lecturer was scrolling through his phone there was also topics off the course skipped and put lecturer said he does HV not LV so we didn't learn anything really involving LV which is what we mainly needed for our jobs no one can learn this way even some questions asked couldn't be answered for the most part...

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.

Great course

A very knowledgeable instructor who made the course very interesting

Second time having Chris As an instructor and learnt so much, great knowledge and gets on with the lads great Highly recommend

What more can be said about this man. He's a credit to your organisation. Your lucky to have such a down to earth passionate and well knowledged person within the industry. Definitely not paid enough. Fantastic course yet again! Many Thanks.

Course has insightful information, allows group to work freely and openly to share knowledge.

Good balance of humour and learning content Didn't feel like death by powerpoint

The course instructor is really a thorough person and made sure to highlight the most important things throughtout the course also a lot of general knowlegde and experiences around HV.
