Excellent tutoring by Norm. Lots of engaging stories and knowledge from a long career of Electrical work. He gave us better insights into ‘why’ we do things the way we do, not just the bog standard approach a lot of electricians take. The course itself was too full of fluff. Lots of stuff none of us need to know about work as an AP on site. This course should be split into electrically trained persons and non trained persons. As a lot of this information was covered 10 years ago for some of us during our NVQ, AM2 and 2391. More focus needed to be spent on the practical side. More exposure to switching different types of switchgear within a LV environment. The size and scale of the practical facility at the centre was underused for the time we spent here. As the price of this course was near double what other centres were charging and me being self funded I found the application process to be extremely irritating. Having to download, sign and reupload documents that should really be accessible from the site portal was a headache. I am planning on doing the HV course within the next year but due to the price it may not be feasible to do here. Happy with the environment, very smooth and easy once through the door, a good atmosphere and friendly/helpful staff.

Some course material is out dated due to updates. Some exercises were missing info that would have helped overall understanding. (This was raised at the time with the lecturer) Generally. Very good. Excellent facility and friendly staff.

The course should be a shorter duration and there should be more practical training rather than class room, the price doesn’t justify for the course content, it could be a lot better.
