I have just completed High Risk Confined Space training at MRS Training in Dinas Wales.  The facilities and practical training environment are first class, and I do not think you will find better elsewhere.

Three excellent days on a 'High Risk Confined Space' course. Thoroughly enjoyed the training provided by Brian and the team. Very well organised and the facilities were perfect for scenario-based training. Not to mention the great coffee and lovely lunches provided. Thanks folks!

I have just completed the High Risk Confined space course, Having done this course many years ago with the Fire Brigade, I found that the Instruction was informative at all times, and had specific information at hand, which was a benefit to me. The equipment was up to date and the confined space practice gave you a true to life experience for the ongoing works. Thank you for your efforts.
