At your premises, on your own equipment where possible, so the skills transfer straight to your line or site. We can also arrange a suitable venue in East Anglia.

Yes. Our lead trainer speaks English, Polish and Slovak, which helps mixed-language teams understand the detail rather than just nodding along.
