This course is delivered by leading specialists in earthing assessment, design and audit and draws on their extensive expertise in the field.
Fascinating course due to the extensive knowledge of the presenter. Lots of myths debunked!! Enough knowledge attained to be able to challenge consultant designers and know the right questions to ask. Undoubtedly a good investment in time.

Definitely improved my technical knowledge of more up to date modern thinking & the standards used within the UK. Very informative, even though the formulas slightly taxing as I am 35 years since being in any educational, academic faculty. Presenters were very good & very approachable. Thanks.
Paul, 15-17 June 2021
Thanks a lot for having me over the past three days for this course. This was very well structured and super informative. Matthew and Nigel are very knowledgeable and helpful. I hope that I will be able to enroll onto some other courses soon.

Very informative and the knowledge was clearly strong through the teaching style. Both trainers were very personable, and I really enjoyed the course. Substation Earthing course allowed me to understand earthing concepts I couldn't have learnt as well otherwise through on the job teaching.
Matthew, 22-24 February 2022
I found the course very informative and interesting. I am an apprentice with no previous experience of earthing but thought the course and lecturers were great. Thank you.

I thought the course was very useful for my knowledge level and gave me a good understanding of the importance of earthing in the work that I do. The course has given me useful feedback/opportunity to raise concerns/queries in my workplace regarding the process we use in relation to earthing.

Great combination of practical experience/insight and technical background. Did not dwell too much on calculations as other courses have and both presenters very knowledgeable in their areas. Fantastic.
Robert, 8-9 February 2023
Overall, a good course that enhanced my current understanding but also highlighted other aspects I might not have previously thought.
Michael, 28-30 March 2023
The technicality of the course was suitable for me, all calculations were thoroughly worked out with good assistance and explanation.”
Carl, 28-30 March 2023
Great course, possibly the most I've enjoyed at EA (and that's saying a lot). Both Nigel & Matthew's knowledge & experience was excellent and were able to break it down and pass it over in a clear and understanding way. Will definitely recommend to friends & colleagues.
