What our customers say...
Very informative course which was presented professionally.
I went on a First Aid at work at MRS Knottingley. While there the whole process from start to finish was a credit to the team there. The instructor that we had Jeff was very good and came over at our level, straight talking and knew what he was teaching. The practical aspect of the course was very good and did make you think what was required of you. The exams through the course were very good and made you think, but were fair but not too difficult as you had been taught this whilst in the class room. Overhaul a very good course, would recommend to others. Facilities and instructors first class. Well done.
I was booked on a Confined Space course through work , 2 days with the course tutor Ryan . I found the content very helpful, informative and at a nice pace too . Lunch was provided and with a morning and afternoon break the whole course felt relaxed. The training facilities were excellent, all the correct kit supplied to complete the practical side of the course and Craig our assessor was spot on too . Overall a great experience. Thank you Ryan , great work 🙂
Due to a change of role I needed to complete the IOSH Managing Safely qualification. After looking online I decided to book with MRS Knottingley due to their course being delivered face to face rather than fully online. I wasn't looking forward to a Health and safety course but shouldn't have worried, Craig was our trainer and he made a dry subject enjoyable and it was clear he was not only a trainer but still working in industry. Id recommend MRS training to all.
Great training base with knowledgeable and friendly instructors!
I needed some ‘not your average’ confined space training for some quite specific tight spaces – I really didn’t want to just learn about A frames! MRS listened to my needs and delivered a great course that really helped drive home the need for care and safety and provided the knowledge required when dealing with confined space that altered the trainees’ ways of working.
Just want to say a massive thanks for the recent confined space course that HIS attended this week, Tori was amazing as an instructor and really assisted me when I had some difficulties with one element of the course for which I am very grateful. All the attendees are saying it is the best course they have ever attended we will be looking to book more some courses in the near future. Please pass on my thanks to Tori.
MRS are always helpful and professional and always work flexibly to meet our requirements.
Truly excellent training centre, I pass my personal thanks to Dave Halliday. A very professional and knowledgeable trainer, who keeps blokes who normally work outside, from falling asleep in a classroom. 100% recommended to anyone looking for this type of training course.
A very well presented and detailed course that provided exactly the information required.
