“The certificate states that the “course explains the risks and controls needed when working with abrasive wheels”, and it does nothing more than telling you the risks and controls that need to be considered. It does not explain how to implement them or how you should or shouldn’t use abrasive wheels or much about how to maintain or check their safety. The course is not suitable to provide any level of competency in the use, maintenance or inspection of abrasive wheels without further training, and if it suggested it was anything other than a comprehensive guide to the legislation, then it is misrepresenting what it provides. In addition, there are several inconsistencies in the material, for instance when it initially lists the dangers associated with the use of abrasive wheels, it ignores the risk of entanglement - probably the second biggest risk, but it appears in later parts of the course. Some other dangers, such as the risk of burns from material getting hot during grinding (probably the most frequent form of injury) do not seem to be mentioned. I’m not sure if it is the sound on my computer/headphones but the voice-over (computer generated) had a hissing, lisp on ‘S’ sounds which becomes annoying when they frequently use phrases about “Sssspecssific risssk assssesssments for abrassssive wheelsssssssss…””

Hello John, thank you for your review and feedback! I’m really sorry to hear that you haven’t had a good experience. Our abrasive wheels training course is an introductory course (as stated on the website) to provide the theoretical knowledge needed to understand the legislation and work safely with abrasive wheels, including the control measures that can be used to eliminate and reduce risks. Taking this course alone will not make someone competent to carry out risk assessments, enforce controls or work with abrasive wheels safely. Competence means having the suitable knowledge, skills, experience and training needed to be able to carry out your duties safely. This training will need to be supplemented with face to face training on your specific workplace and how to use your particular control measures. Additionally, every workplace and work activity will need to be risk assessed and appropriate controls will need to be chosen. In this course we have explained the types of controls available and then it's up to the competent person carrying out the risk assessment to adapt and implement this information to their workplace, selecting the right controls for their activities and environment. If there is any doubt about implementing controls, it's important to consult the manufacturer or a specialist. We will absolutely take your feedback on board and look into it when we come to update the course. Additionally, we are constantly working with our audio artists to provide a good service for our customers, therefore, we will also keep the feedback in regards to the voiceover in mind for the future! Many thanks, Kaz (Customer Support, High Speed Training)

“The course is quite poor in actual use of the machine. There isn't any reference of how to sharpen tools etc.”

Hello Marcos, Thank you for your review and feedback, we appreciate it a lot. I am really sorry to hear that you found the course to be poor, this is not the usual feedback we get. It's very hard for us to provide information on specific machines as they can vary hugely and practical training would be required. We do however really value the opinions of our customers so I've passed your comments onto the appropriate team to see if there is something we can do for future users. Thank you again and we wish you all the best in the future.
