Positives - Well presented course notes, very professional and friendly instructor, excellent practical room. Negatives - course notes contained many errors, both grammatical and information errors. Course was not specific to offshore operations or the equipment we work on. Course was essentially a repeat of SAP 1 & 2. Instructor was not given enough time to adequately prepare for delivery of the course. Lack of communication/ liaison with RWE offshore safety Rules team seemed to be the root of the problem. RWE Operation Safety Rules in the course notes were not the current version. All in all, the course needs a complete re write to be more relevant to our work activities. We were not able to physically do any practical, live testing... we need to practice actual, live testing, not just watch it being done.
The lecturer, John Stanley, was well mannered, knowledgeable and informative. The course would have assisted me better if practice example scenarios were provided and how the schedules and the permits are to be written to comply with the CBRE structure of how they would like them to be completed. Feedback from all exams I have completed would assist me to where I may have gone wrong would be much appreciated. Kind regards, Marc
The training is not suited for a new/potential authorised person as it doesn’t emphasise on calving schedules, valving diagrams and how to write permits and isolation certificate. The training is suited for experienced AP’s, SAP’s.
Lecturer was good.. Course was based on old rwe rules. Food was very poor
Course content was quite condensed for only 2 days. As someone who hasn't worked with most of the test equipment before it was helpful to have hands on experience.
Good course, but not the usual amount of practical exercises as in previous S5s. Perhaps the higher number of candidates on the course prevented this?
Despite being a bespoke course it did not really fit the operational environment under which we operate. That being said it did increase my knowledge of high voltage operations when high voltage switching is used. The questions in the exam were not really covered in the content of the lectures and as such personal study was required. This could have been made more explicit from the outset to give the candidates forewarning of the challenge they face. The questions in the paper also had a high level of ambiguity and this led to significant difficulty in interpreting what the examiner wanted as an answer.
Overall very good course. As a bespoke course it could be tweaked closer to what equipment we actually work on. Also better to have material on our systems.
Bespoke course contents needs review beyond the section titles. Matching up the practical and written assessments with our objectives for the course is needed
The S12 is too similar to the S4 with not enough HV to HV and HV Multi Feed Content. I didn't get out of the Course what I hoped for and should have booked the S5 instead.
