Health & Safety Training Courses

Health & safety training is an important part of a business as it helps to provide a safer working environment for staff and customers and therefore reduces the risk of accidents and possible legal action.

All our training courses and tutors are accredited by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH). This means the qualifications obtained by candidates are nationally recognised throughout the UK.

We offer a range of courses which are suitable for most day to day training requirements of small and medium sized businesses.
