Schematic Specialist Course
OK, so I don't usually leave reviews, but I feel like this is one of those times in my life when I need to take a minute and let anyone who is potentially looking into signing up know just how good the training at Bee Automation is.
I've been in the electrical industry for 20 years now, and it's all I've ever known. In that time, as you can imagine, there has been an unbelievable amount of training along the way.
Chris @ Bee Automation is by far one of the most passionate guys I've met. His training and the way he delivers it is First Class!
I honestly can't recommend this enough to anybody who, like myself, is continually looking to progress in their career.
Chris, I just want to end by saying thank you for not only producing a very detailed and informative course but more so for being a top, genuine guy with it.
Cheers,
Danny.
Good Networking
Really engaging and up to date group of electrical business owners, contractors, electricians & engineers of the controls and automation industry. There seems to be a lack of classroom structure and consistency in the teaching method. Its easy to see that some of the videos were made for a different course or teaching course, just all grouped based on the same topic. Therefore, it sometimes leaves you confused about the whereabouts of the information or context of the videos. There are some good Q&A, but not often enough for the number of questions. Something lacking is a exercises or tutorials section to test one's knowledge. The overall course feels a bit too expensive for what really is.

So far I'm loving the content
So far I'm loving the content, Chris is passionate about what he does and it shows. Great stuff
More than just an introduction to electrical schematics:
Chris is really passionate and and helpfull when answering questions in live Q&As. I especially loved the extra details about how to understand the control system from the schematic and how to fault find using a schematic.
Schematic Specialist course
Wahhoooo just finished the schematic training course. Well happy with the course, it was immense. @Chris Guyatt has created a very good, detailed case study on a school. Which he goes through step by step for you to learn.
100% Definitely jump on the coaching calls, they are worth it so much to gain more knowledge, info and advice.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻
Cheers for all the help @Chris Guyatt, speak soon. 💯
‘Schematic Specialist’ course review of Bee Automation
As someone who has worked with BMS schematics on site, there were always certain questions that none of my colleagues could sufficiently explain to a level of intuitive detail - where it just clicks.
I’ve researched the expanse of World Wide Web with mixed results, until I happened to chance upon Bee Automaton and Chris Guyatt.
Finally the explanations of depth and clarity without being theoretically overwhelming - just the right level that is required for a practicing site installation engineer.
So impressed with the ‘Schematic Specialist’ course, that I’m now following through with further bespoke training with Chris to progress into a more senior role!
Also I can highly recommend his free YouTube channel, to validate as to the usefulness and quality of the paid-for content.

Excellent introduction
Excellent introductory overview to electrical panel controls. Simplified and presented in down to earth terms
If you want a career path for the future start here 100%
The course is really easy to follow. The extra bits you add ; like how each component works is like an added bonus is great. And I just opened the academy part of the course and found the mountains and mountains of information on almost everything to do with the build. I found the template which is great. I can see that you are actually providing everything to get a company up and running from scratch which I think is out of this world mate. Must have taken you so so long to get this all put together. Your hard work is noticed by myself and my dad. He loves you too. Anyway . I also registered for a couple of tickets for that weekend in November. Up north. Might try and get down there . Overall an outstanding programme with absolutely everything to get you on the road to becoming a panel builder. Well done Chris Guyatt. And a big thankyou for your hard work. 👊👊👊

Great info and lots of content
Great info and lots of content.
Chris puts a lot of effort into this and is active on the community engagement of the group. There’s lots to go through and recommend it to anyone wanting to gain more info. I’m not in the UK so some systems aren’t cross compatible or easily accessible but the Knowledge comparison is helpful to see what else is out in the world.
