Technique Training Ltd Reviews

Andy is a great tutor.. Very helpful. What more can i say

Good course. Delivered in a relaxed manner by a tutor with good industry knowledge.

Course was a good base knowledge of PLCs. Could have had more interaction with the PLCs in the robotic arms/conveyor set-ups etc.

The course has enabled me to gain a better understanding of PLC's and how they work. This will be very beneficial for my future role.

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.

Found that we were out of our depth a little on the project and that there wasnt much supportive help. Moved too quick through areas that were needed on the project. Equipment is now outdated and not the newest for Siemens which was one of the reason i attended this course.

Course delivery, even though we lost a day due to Her Majesty's funeral was excellent and never felt like we were rushed. Tom was excellent at the content delivery considering the 'dry' content of Standards and knew the standards extremely well and was able to answer all questions. Lunch sandwiches were very nice but I would not consider a sandwich on its own as Lunch Provided. It would have been better if a selection of soft drinks (even bottles of water or a water cooler) was available with additional snack items such as a back of crisps or a fruit pot was included in the lunch. The provision of tea and decent quality coffee was great.

Quality and level of learning provided was to a good/appropriate standard. The trainer (Tom) was patient with all students and more than happy to provide help and repeat information when required. The trainer also provided real world examples of uses of the standard to make the information provided relatable and therefore more memorable, which helped with the exam. To make improvements on the course I would have liked to have completed mock exams on the computer as opposed to being on paper to better prepare me for the exam.

Course was to be 3 days in length in order to cover all content. Paid for 3 day course. Course was cut short by a day due to HM's funeral. Update email received stating that remaining 2 days would be longer in order to make up for lost time - this was not the case. - No extra time provided. Lost 1 day and my result reflected this lost contact time. Computers for exam need updating / modernising. Very slow connection time. Some computers didn't work.

The course lecturer Andy was very good in teaching the subject, he made it a good laugh aswell keeping people engaged, he was very supportive and answered all our questions. I Was happy with the length in training however for others with no experience it could be seen as too short. The facilities and lunch were very good. I was impressed with the service provided and I plan on returning for courses at a later date. Thanks
