City and Guilds – Programmable Logic Controllers reviews

4.6 (271 reviews)
AI summary of reviews

Hands-on PLC rigs and live examples make the learning easy to understand, attendees say, while knowledgeable, patient tutors explain concepts clearly and support questions across different ability levels. They value the structured progression from basics to practical projects, useful handouts and a friendly atmosphere. The course builds confidence in ladder logic and small automation programmes that transfer to workplace tasks, although some find the pace brisk and want more time for exercises.

Well presented course. However i feel the course notes could provide a little more for revision after each days learning. Some examples of program techniques to consolidate may prove useful.

I think the amount to learners in the class was too high , in week 1 we had 12 , week 2 had 11. With this course being intensive there should be less people in each class so the tutor is able to have more one on one time with people that need extra guidance.

Very good course. The dockets given out could include a little more information for beginners such as how to set up self resetting timers and how to kill circuits.

Course was good and I feel I have learnt a lot. I started with no understanding of PLC programming and feel now I have grasped the basics! I do however feel the number of pupils in the class was too high as a bit more one to one time with the tutor would be more beneficial.

Course criteria stated that 'typically', 2 to 3 systems (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi) would be covered, however each person on the course was only able to access one hardware manufacturer setup during the course. Our course progressed quickly (we had all but completed Day 3 assessments by the end of Day 2) and I felt that more could have been covered in the given time. Aside from the above, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and found our tutor to be exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
