“Training and development of our engineering staff has always been at the forefront of our business, working with ESS to identify the most suitable training was extremely straightforward with the course content clearly outlined and explained. ESS are very aware of the needs for the current engineering climate and the challenges that are faced. Delivery and execution was very flexible around dates and location etc. which meant little impact on our day to day operations. The tutor was very professional and accommodating making the candidates feel extremely at ease, some of the candidates had reservations about sitting exams being out of education for so long, but this very quickly disappeared and was understood by the tutor. We are very proud of our team having achieved a QQI accreditation. At all stages during the process from very early discussions to the facilitation communication between QQI and myself was really important and no question was left unanswered”
Aidan Smith – Group Maintenance Manager, Kepak Group.
“The instructor explained all the sections of the course very well and really simplified the mathematical equations along with the practical sessions to which have given me a very beneficial understanding of electrical safety and fault finding in my place of work”

“I am a production technologist and I work in the pharmaceutical industry. I found the Industrial Electrical Safety and Systems training course to be useful and a step in the Right direction for my career.
The course is very informative and hands on. The setup was second to none and the course was clear cut and well executed. I hope to do more courses in the Future with ESS.
The trainer Ger for the industrial electrical systems course was pure class and showed nothing but professionalism from start to finish.
Very approachable and puts you at ease from the get go. Sets everyone into a very comfortable position.”

“I felt it went really well. Paul is a great trainer. He has so much experience and can call on it for examples. Plus the videos he showed were very good. The fact that he gave the content on a USB was brilliant. I found the course very useful for me. In my secondary role as AM leader I have a few gaps that I need to fill in and that was one of them!”
Anne Howes, Covidien
Really enjoyed the course, found it extremely relevant in my role (as I’m new to it). Course content was very good, Tom delivered it extremely well. Look forward to doing some future courses with you.”

“Just a word of thanks to ESS and your trainer Michael Barrett for the above referenced course held in December. We had very positive feedback from the staff and operators who found it very informative and I believe gave them a new found respect for electricity. If they learned nothing other than that, then in my eyes it was a success!
I sat in with the class on the first day and was very impressed with the knowledge of the trainer and his delivery. I’d be grateful if you would pass on our thanks and comments.”
