The most interesting / useful parts of the course for me was generally learning that wiring is not difficult but requires careful planning and to work in a safe manner. I would recommend this course to others, the environment, the classroom and practical was excellent, informal and very instructive. The theory was clearly explained and easy to put into practice. All the tools and materials were always present. Well organised and easy to get straight into the tasks. What I like about the college is that you are taught by professional tradesmen who are passionate and create a great learning environment. Great course, great tutor, what more is there to say. Thank you Dave.

The most interesting / useful parts of the course for me was in general learning a new skill. Tackling a useful skill that will enable me to be more self-efficient. I really enjoyed the effort and fiddliness of the wire stripping and fitting of the SWA cable, although labour intensive and I struggled, it gave me much respect and understanding. But, overall, each part was highly useful to me. I would recommend the course to others, gives great understanding. Allows for proper safety and installation works that would otherwise go potentially terribly wrong if most DIYed. Everyone helps everyone. It’s not just learning, its fun, doesn’t feel stressful or examined. Thanks, Dave, for giving me the confidence to do simple tasks and do it safely. It will benefit me greatly in the future, mush appreciated.
