Introduction
DS Environmental is committed to delivering high quality training that really adds value to your company. We are advocates of small class sizes as we have found from our training feedback that delegates feel they learn more and feel more confident to get involved in the theory and practical element. That's why we keep our class sizes small 6 per class for category 1 training and 10 per class category 2 and 3. We don't subscribe to the "bums on seats" philosophy neither do we sub contract our training to third parties. We design all our courses to meet the Health and Safety Executives requirements and are fully signed up to the UKATA Training Providers Code of Conduct we have passed an external audit which is available for you to view on training home page. All of this coupled with competitive prices and smaller class sizes plus a friendly service makes DS Environmental the perfect choice for your company.
In addition to our standard refresher courses we are able to customise training to incorporate a mix of the competent person courses below that can be tailored to your specific company needs.
