Upon completion a valid certificate appropriate to the level of training is issued to course participants.

Our essential courses can save lives as well as 'time off sick' expenses.

Farming

Foundries

Metal working

Mechanical workshops and garages

Electronics industries

Any industry that uses chemicals for cleaning agents

First Timers: For businesses new to training

Fast Trackers: For businesses who want to get better at training

Despite being a fairly small business employing less than 20 people, you appreciate how training makes your staff more efficient. But you are always rushed off your feet, so your training has been rather ad-hoc to date. That’s about to change: One of our expert advisors will help you devise a skills development plan, source the training you need (subsidised where possible), and help you implement the plan successfully.

People Professionals: For larger organisations seeking skills excellence

You are the person responsible for skills development within a large organisation. You are committed to nurturing the skills of everyone in your team, and you have sophisticated management and training processes in place. But you are constantly striving to improve your approach to skills development. We can work with you to do just that, and help you achieve higher levels of excellence.
