We use The Health and Safety Group for our mandatory training and their trainers are always excellent at reinforcing the points of the core training modules. The delivery, the pace and content of their courses are spot on, providing relevant information and essential practical elements in a good, consistent manner. I fully recommend The Health and Safety Group as a training provider for mandatory training. - Charles Safapour, Director - Mayday Healthcare Plc
We have been using Health & Safety Group for our mandatory training needs since May 2010. We shopped around for a number of suppliers and found that H&S Group were the most competitive and able to service our precise needs. We are very happy with their service:- They provide the equipment to hold regular training sessions in our office, which allows us to offer local training to our candidates. We get a regular trainer who is reliable, professional and has built a rapport with our candidates. Using H&S Group has allowed us to comply with strict NHS Frameworks. In turn, we have passed our recent audit with flying colours. As a Director of Plan B I would be happy to be contacted as a reference by other organisations that may be interested in using H&S Group as a training provider. - John Anderson, Director - Plan B Healthcare
