C-Bus course covers the basics of wiring for C-Bus and programming
C-Bus. In the course you build a demo board of C-Bus components and LV
lights. You then make faults in other people's boards and troubleshoot.
At the end of the course, you go home with:-

A DIN rail mount dimmer (normally 4 channel 2A, the ones on my course
were 8 channel 1A)
A 4 key E2000 input unit (4 button 1 gang "lightswitch")
A light level sensor
An indoor PIR (not 360 degree ones)
The C-Bus programming software
4 LV lights and transformers
A fantastic bit of wood it's all screwed/glued onto
The knowledge in how to design, wire, program and troubleshoot C-Bus
installs.

When I did the course, Niall was running them, but he's now away doing
his own thing. Not spoken to anyone yet who's done a course after Niall
left.
