We want to arrange training sessions, but we have to be careful where so that people can get to them. The plan is to find colleges or small venues for about 10 people, to get you some hands on time and an environment where you are comfortable to ask probing questions. The sessions will be at least three hours long, maybe more if that's what is needed. Cost wise, they will be full hands on and full training to a basic level BUT we'll only charge the room hire cost. We're keeping your pockets in mind, so Low Risk & High Value. (we did try free training, but people failed to turn up, leaving us with an empty and expensive room) Give us a starting point by hinting where you are in the country, so we can find suitable venues. (All welcome in Belgium, but that's more of a commitment)

So I have a question for you. Hypothetically speaking, you and your competition are bidding the same project. You come in within a few dollars of each other. Customer asks, why should I choose you? You and him have the same warranties and are the same price and have been in business the same. You are equal on paper. Why you? What do you say?

I am excited to be a part of an electrician learing center!

Thanks for accepting me into your group. I've been in the electrical controls world since the mid 1980's, traveling all over the place for everything from corner shops and small flats, to huge theatres and blue chip companies. I'm as comfortable deploying massive generators and back syncing them to the national grid as I am installing and commissioning audio, video and telecoms systems. "It's all just wires and logic" Since 2012, I've been the UK face of www.velbus.eu Providing design services, training and support to installers and end customers, for projects from small flats in Italy to hotels and huge mansions in the UK. For the last 3 years, I have been working more with colleges to deliver training to electrical and plumbing students in order for them to clear away the myths and misconceptions about digital controls. Basically, I'm bored of people thinking that good quality controls are - Complex - Expensive - Unreliable - "only for the rich and famous" 1600+ students have had hands on time with Velbus kit, to prove to themselves that they ARE perfectly capable of designing and deploying fully wired digital kit. The reason I join groups like this is to extend access to the information as far as possible, without asking for massive fees or stupid annual payments. In a nutshell Good quality digital kit should be easy to use, easy to understand and easy to deploy. What a customer chooses to do with it after you have signed it off.. should be totally up to them... which can include paying you to do more with it... 😉 Please feel free to ask me anything. The more you know, the better outcomes you can give you customers. And yes, I make money when you sell the kit, but if you aren't selling it and making money yourself... neither are we.
