Reviews of Trainees

@Sir Faiz Bhuta Sir, Thanks so much for being such a great teacher. You made learning so much fun and interesting. I really appreciate your help

 

Mr. Muhammad Ahmed Sadiq

A truely wonderful experience at ETRC,to acquire authentic and in-depth knowledge from the pioneer of solar energy in Pakistan,Sir Faiz Bhutta,was itself an delightful experience,his genuine enthusiasm for this field created a sense of open communication for us thus allowing us to ask any question comfortably,whether its coordination by Maam Shazia or lab training by Sir Noman,the entire ETRC team is amazing and worthy of applause.

Thankyou Sir Faiz Bhutta and ETRC team.

Regards,
Engr.Ahmed Mehmood.

Great and informative course, specially sir share there self experience and knowledge according marker trend. Highly appreciated, thanks sir

 

Regards

Engr M. Junaid

It was remarkable with sharing of sound technical knowledge in a very simple way

Regards
Mr. Tanweer Shariq

The most wonderful thing about this course was sir faiz bhutta simplicity about explaining things. I never understood concepts this smooth before. Allah has gifted him with the teaching of things with so simple style. I attended many courses but the way he delivered some most difficult topics in simplest way was the key feature of this course.

I have got to perform practical in this course which i couldn’t do before in such detail. The trainer and lab engineer both have so much patience to bear up my all questions which was literally amazing.

The course could use some improvements though which i have already shared in written documented feedback.

I have never seen trainers and their subordinates so passionate and always welcoming their students for any help even after the course. The purity and helpfulness of staff and trainers is what make ETRC unique from others ♥️

As far as job opportunities are concerned whole ETRC staff including bhutta sahb share vacancies with you even during the course and afterwards. Provides full support to get started in the field of solar or even on mid career level positions.

Regards

Engr. Khushbakht Munir Bhatti

I would like to say that this was the best course delivered by Mr. Fair Bhutta, a beautiful blend of knowledge, life-long experience sharing, and hand on training. A beautiful closing with the interactive session with leading personalities in the solar energy sector is worth mentioning.
Thank you, Bhutta sahib, for all this beautiful experience.
May Allah bless you.
Engr. Muhammad Kamran.

I really enjoyed this course ideal for what was needed.
Thank you for a great course. Great presentation style with lots of opportunities to ask questions and talk about technical problems which all made for a really enjoyable and informative course.

Regards,
Engr. Faisal Nadeem

I just find this course very informative and updated.The course curriculum was very updated and easy to understand. I found sir Faiz Bhutta a very loyal instructor.Even I take many online courses the instructors didn’t want to tell their students the insights information I mean (Gur ki batain) about their field but I want to give credit to Sir Faiz that he made us able to master in the solar field.Highly recommended course for those who want to join Solar field.

Regards,
Engr. Mubashar Ahmad

Thanks to Sir Faiz Bhutta, their team (specially Ubaid Bhai and Nouman Bhai 🫡) and all participants. Wonderful experience it was. Also it was really appreciated that some people had traveled long just to attend this course. May their efforts be fruitful.

I would request all members to be supportive all time as we were in the course. Stay connected.

If i could be of any help please feel free to contact me anytime.

Good luck to all!

Regards,
Ahmed Hasan

It is to inform that i had a positive experience with ETRC and especially with sir faiz bhutta. I am so comfortable during training also i appreciate their team for their kind support. Sir is so knowledgeable and committed to help us to get success in the world of solar.
Keep growing and share your experience with trainers.
Regards:
Engr Muhammad Ali Khan

Firstly, i really admire your efforts. As you are really energetic and supportive coordinator with a very helping and positive attitude. I have never seen once even a single minute delay from your end. Whenever, any member of the group or Sir Fiaz have asked to share some detail. You have always responded immediately without delay at any given time.

Regards

Syed Wasi Mujtaba

Taking the Internation Certified Solar Manager(CSM) course was the best decision. I have learned a lot about the project management and the renewable field market in Pakistan. Course was well represented by Faiz Sb and he engaged all the participants well with his random questions.
I Will recommend this course to my friends and colleagues.

Regards

Engr. Malik Usman
