We had a very interactive training session with Derek & Joe from MRS. Derek has a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience which made the delivery of the course more engaging, as he had 'been there and done it!
Luke and Leo were very helpful throughout the training course and showed that they both have brilliant knowledge in their field of expertise. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to be trained in confined spaces.
I attended MRS to do Confined Space training and was extremely impressed with the professional but friendly attitude towards training and the high standards of the facility. I'm one of many from my company who have used their services, and all have agreed that they are a high-quality company with an excellent knowledge base.
