Millbrook First provided all the training materials required and offered support throughout the whole process. Colin was extremely helpful in helping us to not only negotiate our way through the course but in assessing the current condition of our site and even helping to arrange an external contractor to carry out a full site risk assessment. Thanks very much Colin

Thank you Colin, see you on the next one

The course is well detailed; I would require more time on calculations although it’s good that I can still go back to the course at my own convenience.
I am based in Africa & I think we don’t take lightening protection seriously, it’s the first time I have heard of the types of different lightening protection system, looks very new to me. The course will be of great help to me. Most lightening protection systems are not even tested after the initial installation. Now I understand the importance of testing. Looking forward to advance on this & taking other courses.
Thanks

The training was tailored well to captured site understanding on LPS T&I course which has provided knowledge and skill acquisition. This will ensure properties are in compliance of lightning protection system within my area of work.

The course was really good and clear. Easy to follow and drop in and out off when needed. Feel it will be easy to navigate to go back in and reference when needed going forward.
This maybe just me, however I tried in settings etc but if there was an option I couldn’t work it out. Every time I stated a new unit the sound would revert to max, doing the course in an office I was wearing headphones.

The LPS training was well delivered and met its stated objectives. The session was professionally facilitated, with clear explanations of key concepts and requirements. The trainer demonstrated a strong understanding of the subject matter and ensured that the content was relevant to operational and workplace application.
Overall, the training was valuable and has contributed to improved awareness and understanding of LPS. The knowledge gained will support safer and more effective working practices in line with organisational standards.
BiG THANKS
