Our Swadlincote Training Centre covers Birmingham and the West Midlands area. Due to its location on the border of Derbyshire / Birmingham / Leicestershire – it is easily accessed via the A42, M42 and the M1.
Our training centre is easily accessible for those located in Loughborough, Derby, Ashby de la Zouch, Burton on Trent, Birmingham and Corby.
We specialise in providing low, medium and high risk confined space training. Our training centre contains specialist spaces designed to recreate the conditions and situations experienced in real life work scenarios. Our 120-year history and experience helps us provide first class training that allows candidates to learn and practice skills which they can then put into action confidently.
We are working at height training experts – and offer a range of height safety and rescue courses. Our purpose built indoor training facility is PASMA accredited, which allows us to offer a mobile access towers course.
We also provide a range of other training courses including first aid training courses, IOSH training courses and firefighting training courses – to name just a few.
Our training centre is based within a beautiful woodland environment and also features a large, free car park for travelling candidates. If you wish to travel to our centre via public transport, call our team for their recommendations.
Facilities
Our Swadlincote centre has 5 dedicate training rooms – and purpose built confined spaces and working at height training facilities.
The centre features a confined space chamber. It was created by MRS Training & Rescue – and is designed to provide a hot and humid environment, as these are the conditions often found in confined spaces. The chamber is monitored by 8 cameras – and features a walkway and a variety of entry points. The chamber can also be filled with artificial smoke to recreate poor visibility conditions.
In addition to our confined spaces facilities – the centre also has an indoor 4m high purpose built scaffold training rig. The rig has many accessories – including ladders, tape doors, gates, hatches and both a sloping and flat roof. This makes this rig very flexible – and means we can replicate most working at height scenarios.

Put through a Confined Space course from my Employer, first time using MRS Training and was very happy with my experience.
This was a bespoke course that worked extremely well for the first session and we have booked additional course dates. Excellent feedback from the trainer and all the amazing help we have received from Becky in the office.
Found the course very informative and the instructor was very pleasant knowledgeable. Would recommend.
Andy was great in the Work at Heights training course, very knowledagable and felt safe in his hands. The training itself was practical with a small amount of theory which was then reinforced out there. Great teacher and location.
Louise was very knowledgeable and the content was excellent. Facilities clean, tidy and well looked after. Would recommend to anyone.
Superb training facility with highly qualified instructors, nothing was too much trouble, the best confined space training I have ever done (and I've done a few). Oh, and they lay on a quality spread as well, highly recommended.
