A useful practical course but spread too thin. The group size (6) and the midday finish on Friday meant we got 3x 30 minute brief isolation scenarios in across the 3-day course.

Course had fantastic potential, served it’s purpose well, Delivery was shambolic, from presentations that should have been at the start being delivered at the end, to course notes and activities being planned out during the course and multiple runs to the printer being carried out each and every exercise, there was very little in the way of communication between us allowed or facilitated, with all questions resulting in confusion and confrontation, normally due to a misunderstanding or misunderstanding or miss hearing, on the end of the lecturer, very hard work from start to finish and completely not necessary. Also the centre has equipment that we as a company use as do others who were on the course but we never did any work on that stuff. Again could be more useful if handled better. Also due to comments being read out and discussed after submission I have had to remove comments due to the confrontation my peers received. This would be better not addressed, and could and should be anonymous

Gary was fantastic and knowledgeable and Chris provided extra to me. I do believe it would be better done in a shorter space of time however. Facilities and venue were great staff were very polite . Was good to have the facilities to get hands on

The practical was very helpful although I expected more on the theory side, explaining the diagram symbols etc with it being a basic introduction.
