Hear what our customers have to say

We pride ourselves on receiving feedback following the delivery of our training courses.

Being an Electrical Engineer was surprised the amount of information required to specify the correct type of grease for a high speed bearing, amounts and frequency for reapplying. This kind of knowledge will be critical to our high speed oven fans.

James
Electrical Engineer

The MLA1 Lubrication Course was well presented and very informative with lots of Visual Aids which I find easier to understand applications. Planning being my work role has given me a better understanding for the value of Visual Inspections of critical plant we historically budget for replacement parts through time based Maintenance.

Matthew
Maintenance Planner

We have seen significant increase in our OEE since implementing a “Pro-Active” Maintenance Strategy looking at Root Causes of our failures on Critical Assets. This has resulted in reduced random failures and Expenditure. Great Course.

Rob
Maintenance Manager

The Toolbox Talks were great especially on grease guns and the effects of back pressures when over-lubricating. Using Grease Meters rather than “shots” created standards we can follow including grease nipples selected for different grease types.

Neil
Technician

My College course does not cover lubrication which is part of my job description. The Lubrication course completed by Richard was easy to follow with the toolbox practical’s really useful. He was very helpful and would recommend this course to other Apprentices.

Eifion
Mechanical Apprentice

The course covers everything required to implement a comprehensive and sustainable Lubrication Program on our Food Plant. One section on food-safe lubricants and their use was really interesting on the control requirements around BRC Audits which are critical to our facility. Since implementing we received an AA+ award and recommend the ML1 course
