Technique Training Ltd Reviews

Some equipment was found to be faults and could do with being replaced, to much to fit in the 3 weeks, was a bit disorganised sometimes, not enough time spent navigating the 18th edition book, I felt like the tutor thought we were all qualified electricians, this was not the case, alot of time spent on things we didn't need to know for the exam.

The equipment is old and it may be time for an update of the computer, screens, key boards and PLCS. The constant engaged tone that was omnipresent in the room was an unwelcome distraction, often breaking my concentration. The presentation of the material was done very well, Eliott was a great orator. However, the course content was covered too quickly for me. Also we were told that the content of the course was primarily for learning fault finding. We had no exercises in looking at completed programmes and finding faults. The main method was building our own problems, full of faults that are only there because I mis-understood function and I did not find this helpful. The written presentation was a bit poor. The explanations were excellent but again a bit fast. I could have done with a slow walk through for things like flasher circuits and how to reset programmes and jump back to main programmes, from subroutines. Over all I found Eliott cordial and approachable and I could ask him to fault find my programmes, that he fixed, without fail. If he was slower wit the presentations, he could pass on better some of his excellent skill in fault fining and rectification. This course was the week of the Queen funeral so we lost a full day.

The tutor was good. Although went into too much detail on certain subjects and found it a little boring. Believe the course should be 3 days then test on the 4th as I felt drained as well as the other students doing the test in the afternoon. Believe I would of scored a lot higher this way.

I found that the time management from the instructor was poor in that we spent a lot of time waiting for him to finish on the phone so that we could ask for help. I found the Thursday on the second week to be a lot of sitting about when the exam could have been brought forwards or had additional training. Course content was relevant and useful. PLC rigs were well set up. Would have preferred more training on the practical PLC modules I.E. grab and lift etc.

We enrolled on the PLC intermediate course and appear to have been put on the second week of the plc 10. we feel we did not get what we booked as per the course description or content

Travel up from Birmingham to a course payed for from my employer. Day 1 involved a mock paper and a general chat between 12 learners .by the afternoon 2 left and walked out.Day 2 involved checking over the paper and not much input from the tutor. This carried on all week and by the end of the course I feel I didn't really learn alot. And looking at mock papers all week don't do anything for anyone and a can say that all 9 others on the course with me felt the same .

I would require more basic level of knowledge from tutor at the start of the course. the course seemed to skip around and miss the basic bit of knowledge to be able to understand the subject. Also to many students in one class, would have been better if one tutor for siemens another for allen bradley.

I good opportunity to re-acquaint myself with PLC Technology and programming. There was a big leap from the learning on the first day and the Project, and feel this course would benefit from a couple of structured learning topics in between. This would likely reduce the mistakes and time lost in the Project.

Elliot was helpful with the course contents and received some useful learning points. However i was hoping to progress onto more complex PLCs in the second week and explore more complex aspects of the PLCs (e.g networks, analogue functions, complex programs) as advertised on the internet. It was apparent early on that the course was very much set and there wasn't much flexibility to progress beyond the set contents of the course.

I asked for additional help with after work reading material, so I could study back at the hotel, no hand outs that where useful, usb had less than useful material on it and the zip files wouldn't open, very disappointed in the course, feel like I wasted me resettlement grant and I'm contemplating cancelling my second course with you.
