Course Dates

Public Courses – Our safe work at heights course starts at 8:30am every Thursday morning at our training centre in Guildford.  The training hours for the day are from 8:30am to 4pm.  This course takes only ONE DAY and finishes by 4pm.  Due to the popularity of this course, we add additional programmes each week based on demand, so either blog or call to see if we have opened up additional courses the week you wish to come along.

Training at our site means you can send staff along for public programmes at times suitable to your work commitments. You can send up to ten staff, but for these numbers we would also arrange special dates/times for your group.

Onsite Courses - If you require onsite training, we can book dates and times to suit you. We take up to ten staff on this course. REMEMBER for onsite training, we need a practical training area approx 3m off the ground where we can safely use ropes and harnesses to simulate a heights accident for your staff to perform the height rescue as well as do a self rescue exercise using a descender.
