Technique Training Ltd Reviews

Should have had an A1 copy of the drawing to allow us to scale. Don’t think it’s right that candidates should have to pay and source for there course content

There should be pre -course learning, there is a lot of technical information that is hard to understand. There are also 2 X tests that are not mentioned in the JI's .

The course is covering a technical area and to expect a 0 to hero in 2 weeks is laughable, more time is required to cover fundamentals and execution

I contacted Technique prior to attending the course to ask which course would suit my needs. I was directed towards this course, which on completing it did not cover the topics I hoped to learn about. This is no criticism of Elliott, the tutor, who taught an interesting well presented course, but I would have preferred to join in the second week without the first. Additionally, there was no exposure to RS Logix5000 which would have suited my personal needs better.

I found the description of the course to be miss leading to what was actually on the course, the 18th edition is not what most people in the trade came for, all refrigerator engineers on the course including myself were under the impression that it was a week of refrigeration electrics, and the 3 days of 18th edition was a waste of our time and money

Having attended the course for 1 day, I found my fellow students all currently working within the electrical trade. Although I’m a qualified electrician, I’ve been out of the trade 31years. I found the Regs book almost impossible to navigate, and soon felt like I was bottom of the class. The rate of delivery was too fast for me personally. I think the course is more suited to people currently in the trade, not someone who’s been out of it for so long like me. At the point of booking personally I think I would have benefitted from more info, more time to prepare. If I’m honest, I’d probably need a week just to familiarise myself with the regs book. The tutor Andy was sound, knows his stuff. He’s just got to get through his delivery which imo doesn’t cater for people like me who’s been out of the trade for so long. Everything was 100mph, I was constantly asking what page we were on, struggling to keep up. I eventually felt overwhelmed and that there was no point in continuing, I left early the first day. £495.00 wasted and a dream shattered.

The was a nice one but due to time factor I couldn't meet up full expectation

I would recommend sending out pre course reading material for anyone who has no experience with PLC's. More fault finding needed on course. More setting up of equipment needed on course.

I feel like 2 weeks of just using push buttons and lighting LEDs is to much. Maybe do the first week on the push button boards then move on to the conveyer belts. Also I feel the course needs a part in for the installation of PLC's most jobs roles attendees are looking to go into would include that and it would be nice to be prepared for that.
