I was intending to do one of the classroom versions of these courses with another lab, but taking a week out to take the course was an issue (especially with Covid lockdowns), so I thought I would try an online version. It was very reasonably priced compared to the classroom based prices my old lab was charging and I could do it at my own pace.
I got 84% at the end, which I was pleased with and I think I will go ahead and do a classroom course now too and try get my PCN certification.
Constructive feedback I would have liked a bit more visual elements to taking samples with a dipstick rather than just a written procedure. I spoke to the course tutor and he has since added a video specifically on this to the course which I thought was a nice personalised touch.

I don’t normally give high scores on reviews. The review scoring only allows 4 or 5, so I have given the benefit of the doubt and given the 5.
The course is a little challenging at first, but like some of the other reviewers have said you do get a lot out of it. I actually took a classroom course 3 years ago and this was a great refresher. I printed off the certificate to put in my record of continuous development.
My 1 niggle was you can’t skip sections and have to complete one before going to another. My preference would be to be able to read in any order and then take the exam, but the site does try guide you to go in the order it suggests. However at the end it did give a chance to revisit any section which I enjoyed going in the order I wanted. I guess the site chose to do it this way because you could technically go to the end and get the certificate without the training. If you don’t mind being given the order to learn in then the course is perfect.

I booked this with lots of expectations, the first unit felt a little bit recapping stuff I already knew and this is the dryest part of the course, so I was keen to race through to the good stuff. I know that first section is there because it is required for the ISO syllabus and that’s why it’s been added in, but for me the real interesting part was the tests and more importantly how to diagnose an oil analysis report. The ferrography stuff was the best section and I felt I learnt a lot. I have even sent off my first filter for analysis that has been having regular bypass issues as a result.
I would say a tip to those doing it is to set aside some time to do each section, I did try to do the first section quickly and I found I had to refer back later on and do it again as I didn’t read it properly the first time.
