our story
We are a fast expanding and exciting company. We are proud members of IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) and have a registered PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers and Manufacturers Association) training centre in Worcester. Both of these courses can lead to internationally recognised qualifications.
With years of experience, we’ve built our company with high standards on smooth, professional customer service and a successful and unique learning experience with highly qualified trainers. We pride ourselves on being flexible and efficient. We can arrange training of our courses at locations throughout England and Wales either at our Worcester training centre, at your premises or at a training centre near you 7 days a week.
Our instructors are skilled in teaching a group of delegates and have a wealth of technical knowledge and practical experience and so can train your staff to get the most out of the equipment safely.
With ever increasing amounts of legislation, our training courses are designed to help your business meet the demands of your industry and to increase your employees’ capabilities, confidence, awareness, safety and productivity.
We have some instructors who are already DBS checked and certified and so you can be reassured that we can easily provide training on sites or workplaces where children may be present.
We are pleased to be registered as a CITB Employer Network (EN) Provider!! Get upto70% of your training costs funded!

And because the Employer Networks help organise it all, you don’t need to complete any paperwork to apply for funding.

testimonials
“The instructor has been fantastic, not only was he friendly and helpful he was very professional – he even hoovered his crumbs up which he did not have to do at all. The candidates also enjoyed the course, and would also say the same thing about him. I cannot fault the experience we have had today, please pass on my thanks. He is a credit to your company.”
