Firstly I would like to thank you for the high level of quality that was received from the course I attended last week and the week before. The teaching was outstanding and the course layout was exceptional. I would recommend the course to anyone who is keen to learn this field of work. Secondly may I ask when the certificate from the course is most likely to be sent and where it is going to be sent to, as an adjustment in pay is resting on its arrival. Shaun Holman, MB Aerospace Newton Abbot Ltd.

Thanks to the Team at Technical Training Solutions for the St. Lucia Project. You all are definitely making waves in this Caribbean Island of St. Lucia! My thanks go out to the Electrical Team at Tech Training for providing and delivering well structured courses through competent tutors and effective teaching methods. The training provided me with relevant skills and sound knowledge to become well versed and more competent in my field. It was well worth trip from St.Lucia (Caribbean) to the UK. Thanks to the entire team at Tech Training for making my experience from start to finish a satisfied and comfortable one. Clive Antoine, Electrical Engineering Experts Inc, St Lucia

Just wanted to say thank you for a brilliant 2 week course! You have taken me from a person who had no real knowledge of how electrics in an industrial context worked to being confident in understanding how many electrical systems function and understanding how and why they can fail and how to fix them. Lee was an excellent teacher who had the gift of being able to explain how and why components worked together. Thank you again I certainly would recommend your company to any person who requires training in this field of operations and will not hesitate to send my staff to you for training in in this field of expertise. Tim Ogborne, Rotatrim Ltd

Extract from an article in Plant & Works Engineering magazine Feb 2017: Cereal manufacturer Kellogg is benefiting from line breaking training. Peter Carey, training manager at Kellogg's UK Manchester, is responsible for training of the factory’s 412 employees. He has been working closely with Technical Training Solutions for the last 10 years, helping to develop specific tailored training courses for Kellogg's employees. He comments: "Tech Training has provided a variety of training courses for our engineering, operations and maintenance teams over the years, including courses on mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, IET wiring regulations, five-day passport electrical safety training, and line breaking."

Peter approached Tech Training 10 years ago when the Manchester factory had a specific need for a safe line breaking training course. "As you can imagine, the factory here is full of pipework systems that transport steam, compressed air and hot process materials such as syrup around the plant. To comply with safety legislation and to reduce the risk of injury when cleaning, repairing or maintaining pipework, we decided to look for a suitable line breaking training course. However, finding a suitable course was much more difficult than we expected," he explains. After searching online, Peter came across Tech Training. Although at the time Tech Training did not have a specific training course on line breaking, he asked if one could be developed. "We did some training requirements analysis to see exactly what we needed in terms of specific training. Tech Training took this information away and developed a course from scratch that precisely met our needs".

Peter added: "Over the last eight years, more than 100 of our staff have attended the line breaking training from Tech Training and the feedback we’ve received has been excellent. Candidates enjoy the mix of theoretical and practical assessments, particularly the training simulation rigs, as they can go onto the factory floor afterwards and put what they've learned into practice by doing risk assessments on pipework."

Extract from an article in Hitachi Rail's FUSION magazine June 2016: "Colleagues in Ashford say they are better prepared to do their job after praising the standard of an electrical maintenance course, designed specifically for them. Training manager Alex McFarlin worked with Technical Training Solutions to provide a five-day practical schedule, tailored to replicate the daily work of our maintenance team. It was met with a great response, with Alex declaring the training, which has been completed by 70 colleagues, an overwhelming success. It includes tasks such as electrical device testing, identifying and fixing faults, and understanding connections. "Everyone has been involved from maintenance engineers to team technicians and from team leaders to duty shift managers." said Alex. "The best thing is being able to make it bespoke for our own needs, working with Tech Training to make it applicable to our everyday work. The skills that colleagues learned are very transferable to challenges faced on the frontline. It also included an element of electrical safety, which is vitally important and hugely beneficial." Within 20 minutes of starting, each group is up and tackling wires on a circuit board. "This was hugely important training and the fact they are learning by doing is all the better" said Alex. "It's designed for us, which is really important because we can relate everything to our day jobs" added maintenance engineer Wayne Taylor. Gary Vine, of Tech Training, praised the application and skills of everyone who completed the course, saying: "Everyone responded brilliantly and learned a lot."

"It's one of the best courses I've ever been on and I can't remember having learned so much in such a short time." - Rupert Yule

"It was really excellent, and led by a brilliant tutor." - Barry Carney

"The training was informative, and fun." - Steven Hall
