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.
Equipped great PLC equipment, Tutor is very kind and supportive which i learn a lot after the course.
Great course. Would like more content on the physical rigs (controlling conveyors & pistons etc.)
Very informative tutor/s, well delivered training package that would prove useful as a solid foundation for future work opportunities involving PLCs.
COURSE: VERY WORTHWHILE COURSE AND I FEEL THAT I NOW HAVE A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF PLCs AND LADDER STYLE PROGRAMMING. ENOUGH TO PERHAPS DIAGNOSE FAULTY PROGRAMS OR EVEN START MY OWN SMALL SCALE PROJECTS. VENUE: VERY GOOD LOCATION AND SERVICES PROVIDED. AS A SMALL BIT OF FEEDBACK ABOUT THE FOOD PROVIDED AN ADDITION OF MORE VEGETARIAN OPTIONS SUCH AS (V) SALADS OR WRAPS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED
Course was very fulfilling, exactly what i expected and will be leaving with extensive knowledge regarding PLC software writing. Tutor (Elliott) was very helpful, explained the information required very well and took the time to go over things that myself and others weren't sure about in more detail. Only concern is that the course could possibly benefit by being slightly longer, in doing so it means that more examples and information in greater detail could be talked about during the class time that could help individuals with the Project Assignment aspect of the course which i personally found the most difficult aspect of the course. Overall, great experience, great tutor and i appreciate the hard work, time and effort that has gone into the course.
A worthwhile course which is a great introduction into PLC programming.
Overall the course was very good, my only improvement would be to make the course a little longer to allow more thorough learning of all plc types
