I think Keith should be able to complete the practical side of the course during the actual course over 6.5 days. The way it is done at the moment doesn't allow the practical test to be done in a timely manner (there are several months wait in Manchester!?!?). Also the practise test rigs are in no way reflective of the actual rig for the examination process causing a certain amount of anxiety for students and a higher potential to fail. I almost feel like this has been made overly complicated to increase re-test revenue. Keith as a tutor was enjoyable and friendly and was great at explaining badly worded questions so the student could determine the correct outcome.

I enjoyed this course but I think personally i might have needed more training to fully understand the subject.

Very good course, I was happy with the basics early on and would of liked to explore more complex areas of the program if time allowed. Elliot was very helpful throughout.

Course provided a good overview of programming PLCs including the basic principles of logic and programming. There were aspects which were mentioned and not covered, i.e. use of the pneumatic rig to demonstrate PLC control. Elliot is very knowledgeable and very familiar with interfacing with PLCs and the software, which is the area I was most interested in. I did have a question relating to a PLC I am familiar with regarding BTW, BTR commands in Allen Bradley which he was unfamiliar with. Some aspects of the course were, in my eyes, taught in quite confusing way, for example number base systems. The lunch was okay for myself but nothing special. One of my colleagues however had his dietary requirements disregarded on two separate occasions.

Very good and informative course. It was challenging but each stage was broken down. It gave a good view of PLC systems and there is plenty of opportunity to train on different platforms depending on need. The venue was very good aswell with lunch provided aswell as free coffee.

As a beginner I have enjoyed this course and I feel that I have learnt lots in 2 weeks. This has given me a good understanding of PLCs.

Clear and concise course which I thought was very easy to follow with the student pack and excellent tutoring and support by Thomas Simpson. I don't think I would have passed if it was anyone else.
