A big shout-out to Jay, who was an excellent instructor — clear, patient, and easy to understand. He explained complex topics in a simple and practical way, which made the learning process smooth and enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend Scantime to anyone looking to build or advance their skills in industrial automation and Siemens TIA Portal.

Abdul Wahab

Reliability Maintenance Engineer

I recently completed the Siemens Step 7 training course. I undertake lots of courses due to the nature of my job and this is one of the best I have been to. Alan and Jay delivered the course brilliantly, very helpful and explained everything in an easy to understand format.

Will Skidmore

Commissioning Engineer

Scantime has been involved in training our maintenance staff for several years now. They have helped improve and maintain the skill set that is critical for working with processes such as ours. From these various courses, we now have maintenance staff who are more confident and capable of working and finding faults on our PLCs.

Marc Powell

Engineering Manager

The course was brilliant – the content, literature, practical and delivery was exceptional. I really enjoyed it and a took away lots. Nathan was great, tonnes of real experience, really easy to get along with and delivered the training seamlessly. I would without any question, recommend Scantime and Nathan for any control system Solutions / advise / training needs in the future.
