Phillip Lacy – Instrumentation and Control

When Phillip first undertook the course, he was working as an Electrical and Instrument Technician in hazardous areas in the oil and gas sector. The standard of his work, consisting of in-course assignments, virtual practical work and multiple-choice end test was excellent and he managed his time very well, balancing it with his time off-shore on the rigs.

Instrumentation and control really interested me, as I’m an industrial Electrician by trade installing and inspecting instruments. I wanted more technical knowledge on different instruments, for my own benefit at work and as I also find them interesting in how they work and act in a chain of reaction.

I was talking to an ex-colleague about learning Instrumentation & Control and he mentioned doing a course through NCT.

I have now swapped industries and gone into renewable energy as a Commissioning technician on Siemens Wind Turbine Generators, which has various instrumentation installed around the machine.

The course was a bit daunting at first, coming from a electrical background but I eventually got the results to put me in a good position for the future.
