In their own words

Collected from course feedback forms across the UK — typos, nicknames for Ian, and all.

★★★★★

"Having spent the last three decades as a lecturer in electrical engineering at Manchester University, I've heard a very large number of presentations and been on a lot of short courses. How did yours compare? Well, I think it was very good, well structured, easy to follow and very informative. Definitely in the top class!"

"Can't praise the course content and the trainer, Ian, enough. For my own level of experience the course was delivered at the perfect pace and with the right amount of technical learning so as to inform but not overwhelm. As a new business it was a bit of a decision for me whether to spend the money on this course having already completed a shorter, less detailed online course. I am so, so glad I did, worth every penny and I feel infinitely more confident about mine and my business' PAT testing capabilities. Thanks Ian."

"Very engaging and pleasant. Ian was very knowledgeable and took his time to make sure people understood. It was also fun, light hearted at times but serious when it needed to be. Highly recommend."

"Your tutor Ian is a *STAR*. He had 3 very nervous electrically uneducated students. His manner and approach was brilliant. The theory side was educational and delivered in an easy to understand way. We have owned a Fluke 6500 tester for nearly a year and were still confused how to work it. Once again Ian knew the machine, its functions and how to work it. This helped with the practical side and with his guidance it was a breeze. Our 17th Edition electrician recently took the PAT City & Guilds course [CG2377] and struggled. Your course was so much easier to understand & looking back it would have been a much better course for him to have been on. Once again, thanks for all your help and assistance getting us all to a standard and eager to go into the world of PAT testing. Once again a BIG thanks."

★★★★★

"Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Well paced and clearly explained. Loved the flow chart provided. Ian was very personable and engaged all of the students. Course better for the fact that there were not too many students, which ensured that we all were given the attention that we needed. I took my own tester and as a result was able to practice under supervision and clear up any ambiguities and issues I had before being let loose on paying customers."

"Despite having previous experience, I learned a lot from this course. The "sequence of operations" sheet is useful, and the "suitcase of death" was a very helpful suite of accessories. Having a suite of different PAT tester types was very helpful, as it could inform choice of subsequent tester to buy and use."

"I would have classed myself as an experienced electrical technician, having worked on aircraft avionics for 18 years, and I have been carrying out the PAT testing for the past 3 years at the school. Nevertheless, I found that there were still things that I had not appreciated about PAT testing and testing techniques and procedures. The course was definitely well worth doing."
