Training facilities
In addition to 6 dedicated training rooms – our centre has dedicated confined spaces vessels and crawl spaces that allow us to deliver realistic confined space training. Our centre features a network of tunnels – that has been used to train underground miners. Today the space has been restructured and can be used to train delegates who work in a wide variety of industries.
The tunnels feature walkways, boxed twin crawl ways, shafts and different levels. The spaces can also be filled with obstructions, sounds, alarms and artificial smoke, to recreate emergencies and real life scenarios.
Our centre has purpose built working at height facilities – including a 5.5 meter scaffold system and a mock wind turbine. The scaffold system is indoors, so we can use it year round – and features additions and accessories that can be used to simulate almost any working at height conditions. They include ladders, trap doors, gates, guard rails and a sloping roof.
The mock wind turbine allows us to provide a range of courses for the wind turbine industry – and the renewables industries.

What our customers say...
The 3 days training was awesome, never a dull moment the whole 3 days was impact full. Full of activities.... Will definitely recommend friends to use MRS for any trainings on first aid or working at height.
Very friendly and knowledgeable guys . Been back and forth for training here the past 15 years. Even used them on site with my company for emergency rescue also. Highly recommended
Excellent course. Informative and enjoyable.
MRS Training & Rescue is a place I have now visited twice for my First Aid Training, the first time was three years ago and recently was just last week, March 2024 our trainer was called Paul, he was very knowledgeable and was great teaching us the valuable lessons and skills that we were sent there to learn, he made the two day refresher course interesting and enjoyable which makes it easy to learn. The course was a mixer of hands on, video watching & listening. The materials they gave you are also very informative and you are allowed to take home so you can revise to keep yourself updated. I would highly recommend taking this course with MRS Training & Rescue.
I attended a 2 Day course this week with 4 other colleagues. I would just like to compliment the Trainer Ben Denials he is a credit to your company! I have personally been involved in confined spaces for 20 years and attended several courses and Ben seems to have a really calm approach and training style which was perfect for our operatives who stated it made a huge difference to them
Great course with great instructors, make you feel right at home and the tuition was second to none, highly recommend.
I just wanted to pass on my personal gratitude to you and your team for a job well done today. Your guys integrated seamlessly into our team and helped us perform our planned activities in difficult conditions without drama, incident or concern. Thank you.
I just wanted to pass on my thanks to you and your respective team who once again supported us so well over the summer as we undertook major refurbishment of the scour valves at Caban Coch. This was a critical project for us and safety on such a challenging job was our top priority. As ever your team did a great job providing critical safe access and emergency plan support – its very reassuring to have you ‘guys’ on site.
During this pandemic I was a little nervous to attend but straight away felt that no more could be done to keep us safe during training. The trainer was very knowledgable and all staff friendly. We were all made to feel very welcome.
