John Everest –
Would recommend to anyone who is leading teams/planning work etc
Can’t comment on the virtual delivery of this course as this review is retrospective to training completed in a classroom.
Course were well communicated by a good trainer, material and handouts were excellent and it were genuinely enjoyable considering the topic can sometimes be a little dry. Would recommend to anyone who is leading teams/planning work etc.
The ARMSA Team (store manager) –
Thank you for your kind comments, John. You are quite right. Several delegates have sat the face to face program which is a different experience to virtual classrooms. Thankfully, today’s technology allows us to engage with delegates in a host of different ways such as collective group activity, discussions and even video assignments. On that topic, one of our recent delegates engaged her Project Director on an assignment resulting in immediate improvements to the site management organisation.
Kenny Robertson, Deputy Project Manager, Vestas –
Designed for our line of work
This is truly a great course and gives some great insight into a vast number of topics. This course brings a good honest approach to the way we work and in turn, creates great group discussions on many topics. This course is also designed for our line of work which is really great as we can relate so much more to the topics.

New perspectives and skills
The course was very insightful, it gave me a different perspective on my roles and responsibilities. I learned some new skills relevant to my job role, I look forward to utilising these skills when the opportunity arises. Trainers presented the course very well. There were some excellent group discussions. The group tasks where enjoyable also. It is not easy to present or participate in an online course containing this amount of information, but ARMSA structured it well.
Simon Brejnholt, Technical Project Manager, Vestas –
Well structured and engaging course

Excellent online platform
Excellent online platform, very well organised and coordinated, instructors have good understanding of the sector and provide excellent first hand examples
Enda Gallagher, Regional Supervisor, Ørsted –
Packed with practical activities
Excellent and the way it is set up so you can easily participate in activities is excellent. The ease of using the portal is very good.
The only downfall is the lack of interaction which you would get in a classroom environment but this is not a fault of this course but one in general as people don’t interact as much in a large group online. Thanks very much to Khalida and Rakesh.
Khalida Suleymanova (store manager) –
Thank you, Enda. So good to hear this. We completely agree with you, it is difficult to compete with the classroom environment. Having said that, hopefully, the breakout rooms gave the opportunity to interact with other participants and the two to three hour slots still opened up the opportunity to get some work done during the day too!
Padmini Maheshwari, Project Planner, Ventient Energy –
Consistency is key – it helps apply the content to work
Be consistent with the course- take time to revise and make notes after each module. This makes it really easy to make use of the course when applying it to actual work.
It’s a good course, well-paced and instructors are pretty open to all sorts of questions- so enjoy!

Staggered delivery gives you time to digest the content
An excellent course and great that it is staggered over a few weeks as it gives you time to digest and fully process the content. Khalida is a fantastic instructor with a wealth of knowledge. Would highly recommend for anyone in the Wind Industry.
