We have been using HL Training Services for the past 5 years for our in house counter balance training.The standard of training has always been first class, tailoring the course to fit our requirements. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and understanding when it comes to delivering the course content and always ensure that all course members get the required amount of attention for their needs. We have had instructors at our own premises and also sent delegates to be trained at HL’s depot. Both of which have proved to be highly successful. I have no hesitation in recommending HL Training to any organisation looking for top quality training.

Things are starting to move along, I have been in touch with local training providers and have made some significant progress with my presentations etc. We have more viewers for the house this Wednesday, from Bristol would you believe so fingers crossed.
I have contacted ITSSAR and requested the specific expectations required to become a Cat 2 instructor, watch this space.
I will keep you all informed of any developments as and when they happen.
