Great system of learning at the course. Not rushed with time for questions. Very supportive for my first HV switching course. Thumbs up

I’ve done this course a number of times and it can sometimes drag. The trainer made the course enjoyable and relevant to my job. I found his way of presenting easy to understand and he had a wealth of knowledge and experience that we could relate back to our own workplace.

There is more than enough in the course content to make sure we walk away qualified.
