This company go to great lengths to deliver an excellent service and training experience. I would advise anyone out there who requires this sort of training to get in touch with them. I certainly couldn't fault them. Well done to all at MRS.
Really good training provider, the instructors are good and help you understand the course you are on. If you need any help just ask and they will do as much as they can to help get you through the training. Good facilities to train with. Thanks I will be back.
MRS are the best in the business. Relaxed atmosphere, fantastic knowledge. Trainers are confident to deliver and nothing too much trouble. During these difficult Covid times MRS have nailed it, plenty of space, no risk of sharing others apparatus - plenty to go around. I would not book my team on a course anywhere else. Always a pleasure to go back.
