The Faraday Centre Reviews

Very good facility Very good layout of the various types of High Voltage switchgear practical demonstration carried out by lecturer was first class course was slightly let down by how the classroom training was delivered because some of the swichgear was new to me I felt we should have been shown the switchgear demonstration first then given the classroom training on equipment .overall I felt the course was very good the facility excellent the lecturer very good

Lee and Chris are very professional and patient

Very good course

I thoroughly enjoyed the course, maybe if anything the course spends a little too much time on the EAW Regs and not more on substations specifically. That is my only slight moan, Russ was brilliant, extremely thorough and knows his stuff inside out. We also had a few laughs during the day, with the safety inspection element of it really good. I would highly recommend this course and venue to any colleagues going forward. thanks for the experience.

Possibly a bit to heavy of the calculation side but overall very interesting week

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.

Overall, good course with some good flash simulations. Some DNO bits, G59 etc out of date but suggestions made to update to G99

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.

Only complaint would be the use of 2 sets of rules

The course have been very good it bringing out the salent points I need to assist me in my progression to an AE
