We also provide First Aid training courses, Fire Fighting training courses and Confined Space training courses.

Our purpose built facilities are designed to help you learn to use the skills you require in your working life – so we can guarantee you won’t be stuck in a classroom!
Facilities
Our training centre in Fife has purpose built facilities that allow us to provide realistic and practical training. As well as 12 dedicated training rooms, our centre has an extensive range of confined space vessels, tunnels and crawl spaces in a variety of head heights and with different entry points. The 100 metres of crawl space can also be filled with artificial smoke, which helps to recreate scenarios delegates may face when working in confined spaces.
In addition to our confined space facilities – our centre offers an expansive 8m scaffold system which we use to provide practical working at height training. The system is designed to simulate a variety of scenarios and features caged ladders, vertical ladders, trap doors, gates, a sloping roof, a flat roof and a freestanding tower.
Our centre also has a purpose built outdoor 17 metre high tower and a decommissioned wind turbine that features a hub, nacelle and blades. We use this as part of our courses designed for wind turbine training for the renewables sector, and our courses are accredited by the Global Wind Organisation.
Our state-of-the-art confined space training courses allow you to train in ‘real life’ scenarios – so you can practice putting what you’re taught into action. During the course, you’ll learn how to work in a confined space and what do in an emergency situation. Our trainers are rescuers, so you can trust you’re learning from the best.

What our customers say...
Great course, gave me confidence regarding First Aid and understanding how a defibulator works.
I did my Emergency First Aid training here in April 2024. I can highly recommend this venue for first aid training courses. The trainer was very professional and it was the best First Aid training I’ve ever done. Very comprehensive and high quality. Venue was easy to reach from being very close to major motorways and A-roads.
I recently attended Emergency First Aid training at the Crossgates facility. The instructor was knowledgeable and gave clear instruction and help when needed with practical excercises. The instructor kept students engaged by bringing some humour into his delivery, and this made the course very enjoyable.
Ich habe an einem Confined Space Training teilgenommen. Sehr erfahrene Trainer, die den Inhalt verständlich vermitteln. Der praktische Teil ist ebenfalls sehr gut. Nur war es für mich als Deutscher manchmal schwierig, dem schottischen Akzent zu folgen, aber es hat alles geklappt.
I participated in Emergency First Aid training and was impressed by the facilities and the quality of the course. Frazer, the tutor, demonstrated exceptional knowledge and expertise. Happy to recommend MRS Training and Rescue.
We use MRS for a lot of our operatives and staff training, always found them to be of high quality. Training staff have a vast knowledge of all aspects of what they do, and pass on the information in a relaxing way, which helps settle nerves. Would highly recommend.
1st class course, would highly recommend. Eddie, our instructor catered for all the delegates in his class, from those experienced in Confined Space awareness to the lesser experienced, where he took the time to coach them through the course.
High level of professionalism from the Staff. They were very prepared and knew exactly how to do their job. Very pleased with the experience. I truly recommend!
Trainer Alec Knott's was very interesting and informative with knowledge by the barrow load definitely went the extra mile . Well put together and delivery of a manual handling course .I also attended a first aid at work course by the same trainer again excellent use of information , wouldn't hesitate to book on any up and coming courses by this company ... Well worth the 5 Stars
Well prepared team, very helpful and professional even in the freezing cold conditions experienced.
