PSDC trainers often come from industry. Students at the end of their courses evaluate them. In addition, certain trainers are evaluated by BTEC, the certifying body that evaluates trainers for the Diploma in the Engineering program. This ensures that instructors are both engaging and technically correct. All stakeholders are invested.
Students pay course fees or receive industry sponsorship.
Member employers contribute equipment and teachers. Employers are often members of PSDC and are, accordingly, highly invested in its success. They may also supply equipment, supplies, and course instructors. Nonmember employers may also provide equipment and supplies. Member companies provide input into PSDC course offerings based on their projected needs.
