Overview
Recent consultation with many major facility houses has established a firm requirement for a training programme more suited to the variable needs of the many interested parties. The aim is to provide technical backup training to a level of operational competence, by offering a modular 'level structured' training scheme.
All Courses can be provided "In House" on Request
