PLC 10 Reviews

Very happy with the course and the way it was presented.

All issues experienced during the course were dealt with by the instructor. my level of understanding was at a good level throughout.

lunch is really good and having a water fountain and coffee available for free is good.

the only think id want which help me with learning is maybe a power point aid/ example so that after I've had a try and then I can compare to the example so I know I haven't gone off in the wrong direction.

Additional Lunch Options For Vegetarians/Vegans Would Be Ideal But What Was Available Was Good, The Course Itself Was Excellent, Well Presented And Easy To Follow If You Have No Prior Knowledge

interesting and useful course for most engineering industry, a good amount on knowledge is needed before attending the course, this will allow the content to be understood better and the student to get more out of the course. time should be allocated for extra teaching in the case of students struggling with the course content.

It would be better if there was only 1 system used instead of 2. As the tutor was teaching two different systems at one time it was a bit of cross reference going on.

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.

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 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.
