I had been out of the engineering work field for several years, due to personal reasons, and I was looking for a way to regain my knowledge. This course matched my needs perfectly. I definitely am back on track to getting back into engineering again and the content of the course was very comprehensible if you have a background as an electrician or engineer.
Great content to learn at your own pace
The course is so insightful and I am so confident to open a control panel and know my way about. Hands on and practical.
I would like to thank you and your colleague for the Control Byte online course.
The course is easy to follow and so far has help me alot to identify components on the electrical wiring schematics and troubleshoot field devices field with confidence.
The course unlocked a lot of information that I was consuming over the past years and gave a sense of enlightenment
Looking forward to enroll in more of your courses
Very good
Alot of interesting components were taught about clearly!
It has strong content and very good delivery. It matched all my expectations.
This course helped me significantly to deepen my understanding of certain technical details. I was particularly satisfied with the course’s practical approach, which is something you don’t often encounter in courses of this type.
It was amazing!!!!
I wish the course had more hands on practical exercises to test student's knowledge. But overall I gained additional knowledge during this course. Thank you. Regards, Robert
Ok!
The basics course is full of information helping even more advanced prograamer to refresh on the the basics needed for keeping to the idustrial automation standards.
Good course, good entry level information on industrial automation
Wonderful and interactive course designed by Control Byte. Thank you team of Control Byte, wonderful platform to learn interactively. Thanks
for me it was a good match i was recaping on things i am working with though some i never knew them in details but now thanks to the course i have a better understanding of the things and components thank you.
Well-organized training...Real-life assessment project.
Very good.
Yes it described all the components and what the uses are. Didn't give full 5 stars because where i am situated we use Allen Bradley but it still is a great course!
Yes it was am glad i en rolled in it. I will keep reviewing every time for perfection :-)
it was a good course, and teachings were well explained
