Facilities
Our Southampton training centre offers a diverse range of facilities tailored for professional development and safety training. Featuring four dedicated training rooms, we ensure ample space for immersive learning experiences.
Standout among our offerings is our confined space facility, meticulously crafted to replicate real-world scenarios. 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.
Additionally, we provide a mobile tower for PASMA training and specialised facilities for maritime industry training. These include a two-story fire rig for STCW fire training and a dry life raft training area for STCW certification.
Confined Space courses
We are well-known as one of the UK’s leading confined space training providers – and from our Southampton centre, we provide a wide range of confined spaces courses including low, medium and high risk training.
We also provide other confined space services including confined space consultancy – a service where we come to your site, factory, office or ship to identify any risk you may face and any training you need to be compliant.
Additionally, we offer a rescue cover service, deploying a dedicated rescue team to your business as needed.
Enclosed Space courses
Our enclosed space training facility faithfully recreates real-world conditions, enabling candidates to acquire essential skills through hands-on, practical exercises.

- Safe enclosed and confined space entry

What our customers say...
I attended the SCTW course, 5 days covering 5 different subjects. The booking process was straight forward and easy to complete, but book early the courses go quickly, (a sigh of how well they are run I think). We had 3 main instructors, all very knowledgeable, helpful, approachable and put the information across at a very good speed. The course is a mixture of theory and practical which enables you to 'hang' the theory on to something so enforcing your knowledge. The environment, is clean, tidy and projects the professionalism of MRS. Good canteen area. A light lunch was provided, which was very tasty, with some good chooses and fresh. Hot drinks were free which is very good. My only observation is that there could be some concise handouts, say bullet points, with space to put your own notes , especially for the fire fighting, as there is so much information to take in. As an instructor myself I know the benefits, and limitations, of this, but this subject defiantly would benefit from
