Course Content

The course content is relevant to all types of machine control. The equipment we use varies between Leica MC1, Trimble Earthworks and Topcon 3DMC and is indicated in the course diary table for each course. 

The training takes place in the class room or by remote delivery and desktop simulators are used to give delegates the most realistic and safest learning environment possible.

If you would like to make sure that the course is right for you, simply pick up the phone and give us a call. You will speak directly with one of the tutors who will give you advice based on your specific situation. They will help you work out whether the machine control training will add value to you and whether you’d get what you want to achieve from it. Another way to get an idea if this course is right for you is to take our eLearning course. On the website you’ll find the link to the online courses. The course is £50+VAT.  The course consists of video lectures delivered by in house machine control expert, so you’ll get an idea whether the content’s right and also whether our training style suits you. If you buy the online course and then subsequently attend the course in person, we’ll refund that £50+VAT from your from your booking fee. So, you basically get the online course as a free taster as it comes its part of the course anyway.

We genuinely believe that we offer the best value machine control training in the UK in terms of quality, employability and time and cost-effectiveness. To ensure that we provide unrivalled added value, when you book onto our course, you will receive free access to our online course for a month after the course date, which comprises video demonstrations and step-by-step instructions and quizzes. The online course is smartphone accessible so you can refer back to any of the course content any time you are on site and would like a reminder.  More importantly, you can ask questions within the online course which our trainers will answer. In other words, you have access to our trainers even after you have attended the course. You will receive login details for the online course as soon as you book and pay for your training.

If you are unable to attend the course, you can register for our e-learning course instead. The e-learning course allows you to work through the content in your own time and at your own pace.

Alternatively, we offer one to one training. The benefit of that is that you get more individual attention, and that you can choose days according to suit you, even weekends if you prefer.

The course is assessed continually over the training day. Our tutor ratio is never so large that we cannot make sure that every single person is achieving the objectives as we go along.  We don’t move onto the next exercise until everybody is happy. We allow plenty of time for questions and reviewing the learning to ensure everybody is comfortable and confident.

If you feel like you’d like even more practice, at our discretion you are welcome to return on any of our subsequent courses for part or all of the week, totally free of charge. You can come back purely to re-experience the course or as the trainers assistant.
