The managing working at height training that I received, was delivered well, professionally with personal accounts which made the course fly by.
I felt that the course was a balanced approach to the kind of contractors that do work at our depot as I only held the working at height training. Thank you for the knowledge that was supplied to me by the tutor whom I felt carried out the course in a professional approach.
Great days training by MRS. Completed the Managing working at height course today full of useful information for people that will be acting as duty holder in their position.
