With 5 rooms, a network of crawl spaces, 11 tunnels, and platforms up to 6 meters in length, this environment caters to specialised training needs. Artificial smoke can be added for enhanced realism.
Standing 9 metres high, our indoor scaffold access system serves as a versatile platform for Working at Height training. Equipped with ladders, trap doors, guardrails, and more, it enables comprehensive skill development, including suspended rescue.

Very good course. Well presented. Really enjoyed it.
This training facility is a extremely professional with professional trainers who can carry out training for majority of high risk task in a safe environment
I have just completed my Level 3 First Aid at Work course with MRS Training. Mikey, our instructor, was excellent - very informative and had so much knowledge! The course was very detailed but Mikey kept this fun too. Facilities are great too. Would definitely recommend this course.
A great deal of practical, hands-on tuition given
Good facilities, knowledgeable staff who provide first class tuition. Highly recommended for your H&S training needs.
I attended a medium risk confined space hosted by Charlie. Fantastic tutor. A real credit to Mines Rescue. The 2 days went far too fast! Thoroughly professionally throughout. A lovely new building and the training rig is a spectacle to behold. Would highly recommend. Hope to return soon. Thank you MRSL.
Fantastic thankyou! Really enjoyed the course.
Attended the High Risk Confined Space course in Southampton, very well run course, knowledgeable and helpful instructor and good facilities. Would highly recommend.
We recently had a 3-day Advanced Working at Height & Rescue course at MRS Training & Rescue. This was a very informative course and vital for anyone working at height. The training facility is very good with a great instructor. We have gained vital knowledge on which equipment to use in which situation and how to use, maintain & inspect it. I would highly recommend this course. We now have the correct training to tackle awkward gutters at height :-)
