Practical skills, not just certificates

Learners practise what they will do on the job: CPR and defibrillator use on training manikins, inspecting harnesses and lanyards, and erecting and checking mobile scaffold towers under supervision.

  • Small groups so every learner gets hands-on time
  • Examples drawn from construction, energy and manufacturing sites
  • Clear feedback before the assessment, not after
