Our Houghton Training Centre covers Newcastle and the North East area.

About Houghton-le-Spring
Our Houghton training centre features 4 dedicated training rooms, alongside state-of-the-art facilities for practical and bespoke safety training.
Confined Space Facilities:
The impressive confined space gallery is designed to simulate a wide range of emergency and confined space conditions. It includes vertical and horizontal access/egress points, along with internal obstacles, tubes, crawlways, and even a detailed mining coal face. We can create simulated emergencies by adding features like darkness, alarms, sirens, and safety smoke, preparing candidates for real-world confined space challenges.
Working at Height Facilities:
The centre also boasts an indoor work at height structure, featuring key elements like ladders, a sloping roof, and unprotected edges. These features allow candidates to practice key skills such as rope access, safety line construction, ascending and descending ladders, and performing rescues in high-risk environments.
