Our 5* Reviews

Very good training course, I was not aware of the legal implications and my responsibilities of height rescue. Myself and my work colleagues have a better understanding of the procedures that must be put in place as part of our working practice.

Ben Brooks

This was not the first course that Apple Group have provided training onsite. The course was very good, the trainer had to improvise on the procedure of height rescue, but he was very thorough and precise. Well done.

Kirk Edwardson

How to plan and execute a live rescue.

David McKinney

I will be able to help others who require rescue at height of an automated crane system that is used on industrial racking.

Hugo Lopes

I was slightly apprehensive as I have never performed a live rescue before, but the trainer explained everything in detail and he was very concise on the practical element on the training. I do agree that we should have a practice session at least every 3 months on the use of the Gotcha kit that we purchased inhouse.
