A very detailed and thorough course led by a very experienced and knowledgeable instructor. The course goes into good detail on the inspection and testing of lightning protection systems and equips people with the knowledge needed to understand how the systems are designed in order to know what to look out for when they maintain them.

Thank you Colin for the course, very much enjoyed the detail you went into each unit of new and old standards, along with drawings and extended diagrams.
Appreciated the attitude towards the course and us and made us feel like it wasn’t extremely professional and strict.
Again thank you for the course! 🙂
