Visit our Fife training centre, only a 40 minute drive from Edinburgh. We specialise in providing working at heights training courses, rope access training courses and training courses for the renewable energy sector.
We also provide First Aid training courses, Fire Fighting training courses and Confined Space training courses.
Our team of experts are here to provide the best high ropes training and working at heights training in Scotland and the North of England. 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...
The trainer (Robbie Frew) was a top guy, really helpful and didn't make the learning side of it boring.
Just completed my second High risk confined space course here and could not recommend it enough. The instructor Brian West was great. He made the course very enjoyable by sharing diffrent expierences from throughout his career that related to the course. I can't recommend Mine Rescue enough for anyone looking to undertake any training.
I recently completed 3-day high risk confined spaces course at Crossgates. Our instructor, Ross, was absolutely excellent, very knowledgeable, patient, encouraging and approachable. I found the course challenging but enjoyable. Very good facilities/training equipment. Would highly recommend.
Just completed the first aid course over 3 days. Found all staff very polite, pleasant and knowledgeable. Great mix of theory and practical made it much easier to learn. Instructor was great, very approachable and engaging. Would highly recommend.

Second time here through work , always great courses. Ross and Gus are very knowledgeable and supportive in their training . Look forward to going back.
The training I received here was first rate, a purpose built training centre and instructors that not only know their subject matter but have extensive hands-on experience. There is plenty of parking space and the venue is 2 minutes off the motorway. I would highly recommend this training facility.
