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.
Yesterday I attended a confined space course at British Sugar Cantley. I have been having training on confined space working for over 25 years and wanted to say that the course I attended yesterday was by far the best one I have ever attended.
Training Instructors knowledge and delivery was great. The layout of the training facility itself made simulations and practical training both enjoyable and challenging. Will certainly be sending some of our other staff members here for their initial and refresher training.
