We cover all levels of expertise, from basic introductions to CE and UKCA marking through to niche product specialisations, and training for product managers, safety managers and operators at all levels of company structure who are involved in meeting regulatory obligations.

Tailored courses are built to meet your specific needs and are the preferred option if you need to train more than three of your staff, or if you have some very specific product related issues which you would like to examine in more depth.

Our tailored courses can be delivered on-site or at our offices.

Courses are based on a modular structure, enabling you to select the modules that cover your particular interests. We will also adjust the content of these modules through discussions with you in advance of the course and we will ask you for examples of your specific product issues so we can ensure these are covered during the session.
