Effective training
that's remembered and understood

Theory sessions are interactive and engaging. People don't learn by being dictated to.
Comprehensive practical sessions focus on correct techniques and problem solving with ample 'hands on' time.
SpanSet training teaches you how to look after yourself, how to comply with the legislation and make sure you understand why?
'From problem, through theory to practical solution'.

Safety - it's what we do
Avoid skills fade - a recognised problem in the work force. ‘A skill rarely used may be completely forgotten’. Refresher training is the most effective way to keep those skills sharp.
Avoid bad habits – ‘A skill often used can lead to bad habits’. During training courses, we often come across experienced delegates using equipment incorrectly potentially endangering themselves or fellow work colleagues. This can often be a case of picking up bad habits or not having had the appropriate training to begin with.
