What attendees say:
‘Having completed the basic technical training for Tridium and as we are starting to work with their products more and more, I found this course invaluable in furthering my knowledge and proficiency in using the Niagara software.
Not only did we cover many of the more in-depth technical aspects of the framework, but we learnt many techniques and correct practices that will greatly improve the efficiency and quality of my future work with the product.
In addition, the notes and Niagara project from the class will provide great reference material for future use.’
‘ Extend provided me with tools to more intelligently deploy Niagara in a manner that saves both effort and time. However, the course does much more than just building on the ideas explored during Thinktech’s Niagara TCP certification – it goes further and introduces concepts that are rapidly becoming staples of modern commercial buildings, including the integration of the most common non-BMS hardware and software protocols.
This choice means that the course, overall, provides a much more wholistic training solution that isn’t readily available anywhere else. ‘
‘ The course was very well paced and structured, I found the graphical aspects to be the most relevant for my current level and planned works, especially the template section, overall a very well presented and run course, I hope to continue with the N4 courses as my competency increases and look forward to the next one ’
‘ Pre-course correspondents and material.
Excellent. I was kept up to date about the course commencing with contact emails.
The joining email for the remote connection and live online meeting was clear, concise and the systems worked perfectly throughout the course.
Course Content.
Extensive. Not only touched on most areas required for BMS/HVAC, it paid attention to the smaller details within that topic.
The additional Labs to complete in our own time were excellent add-ons.
Course delivery.
Structure and speed were excellent. It was challenging enough to really make me pay attention, but was personal enough so as not to lose interest or concentration. Greg’s knowledge is fantastic and any question posed was answered extremely well.
Final Exam.
The most trying BMS course exam I have taken. Not only does it allow you to show what you have learnt, it encourages you to learn whilst doing it as the questions are posed to assist with further thinking. It is not a repetition of the weeks course. The structure of the questions differ to the weeks’ structure, so it is not a copy and repeat exercise.
This has been the best BMS course I have attended, and I cannot speak highly enough of Greg’s delivery, knowledge and ability to translate difficult material into understandable sections.’
