Tutor was good but didn’t quite teach us the relevant information for the course.
Tutor was good but didn’t quite teach us the relevant information for the course.
The training sessions were very disorganised and i had to constantly prompt the trainer to cover the topics for the course i had booked. The trainer was constantly cutting the sessions short and did not seem to have the knowledge to cover the topics of the intermediate course i had been booked on.
Tutor was very knowledgeable however I disliked the teaching methods. PLC is a complicated subject with lots of different way to attain the same outcome. The main thing that I disliked is that if a piece of coding you did was wrong, the Tutor would correct it for you instead of showing you what you did wrong so you don't do the same mistake again. Felt the tutor brushed over some subjects too quickly such as Hexidecimals and using the shift tools. I'm still leaving the course uncertain with what they are. I thought the allocation of the versions Siemens and Allen Bradley would be 50/50 however for me it was 90/10 Siemens and other pupils had it vice/versa so for any companies that use Allen Bradley, I will be at a disadvantage. Overall I think the course would be better if spread over 3 weeks instead of 2.
The delivery method was probably the poorest I have experienced and I have done numerous courses and class room trained new meter fitters. The content was simply read word per word from the book. With all due respect for the person, there is no presentation or delivery skills whatsoever. Very disappointed.
As a complete novice the course the course is too advanced and too fast paced - probably due to time limitations. Course was advertised as being suitable for non electrical people wanting to retrain. In fact it is too advanced and the pace to quick for non electrical to understand what they are trying to achieve. With little time available to describe in layman’s terms what is being done or trying to be achieved. Novices like myself would benefit from Sections such as - This is a circuit and this is what happens. Dawn is extremely knowledgeable but I feel simply doesn’t have the time available to go right back to basics and support novices such as myself
This was my third training with TLS. I will say the Mod 1 and TIM10 course were excellent. However this course was a sham. The delivery of the class overall was poor. Information given was confusing and incomplete in content. In my class of seven students not one of us was confident of attempting the online exam. Multiple attempts had to be made by all of us to complete the written part of the practical test after being given conflicting and confusing information from instructors. An instructor told me an incorrect answer to a question that resulted in a third attempt at my written part. I'm sure I am not the only student on this course with the same opinion. I was contemplating leaving the venue without attempting the online exam because of the standard.
I was disappoint with the course content as it appeared to be outdated, and I got the feeling that I should not have bothered. If asked about the course by someone who was thinking about doing it, I would have to tell them that they would not get anything out of it. There is really nothing to be learned from the course. I feel that people would only do this course to "check the box" that you are told is an industry requirement.
