Technique Training Ltd Reviews

I had an excellent experience on the 5 day F-gas course. Tim was very informative and gave me vast amounts of confidence and knowledge not only to pass the course, but to also apply it in real life situations. Thanks very much Tim!

Good location not hard to get to through traffic and good free parking. A lot to cover but explained well. If you have done the 3 day 18th edition course you will be used to the pace and the amount of information to go over. Instructor knowledgeable and approachable to answer any questions. No longer providing lunch.

The course length is just about right, albeit that there is a lot to take in, in a short amount of time I feel that it is achieved well by the tutor. Mark Appleyard did an excellent job at conveying the information and went into a more in depth explanation of anything we were unsure about. Overall I feel the course is very intensive but does work well provided you have the previous knowledge and experience of testing.

Mock exams have should have an answer sheet with references to the page numbers where to find the answers. More structure in course is required, ie when a formula is being presented it would be good to write down all the page number where to find the relevant factors.

Fantastic course! Tim was very knowledgeable and shared everything he knew in a patient way. Would definitely recommend

Tim was an excellent tutor; he patiently answered all my random questions without making me feel silly, he was very encouraging and worked hard to make sure we all felt ready and confident for the tests. He even treated us to some banjo playing at the end of the course! Being a woman in a traditionally male dominated environment I was never once made to feel out of place or awkward. From day 1 all of the staff made me feel very welcome and relaxed.

Have attended a few courses now and this was as good as the others with Learn Tech.

Steve was a great instructor, with him still both working and teaching in this field, added a level of confidence and information that would be hard to surpass. I now feel very confident in my steps forward and the additional information that Steve provided will help me in my future career.

It's tempting to be negative about this, but the tutor did a very good job in the time available to him. The problem is that it's not really enough. It's five days, of which much of the fourth and basically all of the fifth is taken up sitting exams. So you've essentially got three days' teaching, with only a couple of hours dedicated to the practical assessment. Most of the contact time is devoted to prepping for the theory exam - all well and good: none of it's rocket science but the pass mark is 75% and C&G's questions can be equivocal and oddly worded, so don't underestimate it. You can see the problem, though: without previous, relevant experience you're not going to be prepared for the practical. If you're a practicing electrician or you happen to have done the test procedures before - even just once or twice - then it's fine. But if you're new to testing and inspection, then there's a good chance you're going to find yourself in the situation I was in: carrying out the tests and filling in the forms for essentially the first time in your life, under exam conditions with the clock ticking. It's not a nice experience!

Tutor had in depth knowledge of the subject and had been in the industry for many years prior so could answer an vast amount of questions and relate it to field experience. I've come away learning a great deal. Any questions were answered, anything not understood was explained again patiently and the small class sizes made it a comfortable learning environment.
