Excellent, would now feel confident to do risk assessments and design LPS for relatively small-scale installations I work on.

Course leader was very knowledgeable and engaging. As well as the presented content it was great to be able to get outside and undertake practical measurements.

A good course which would be recommended to others gaining an understanding of lightning protection. I would have liked a little more technical analysis of where systems had gone wrong, maybe supported by investigations. I will be recommending the course to other colleagues.
