Tell us numbers, roles, location and deadline. We will propose the course mix and a single price.
If your team excavates and reinstates, the four-day novice course. If they only sign, light and guard, the one-day signing, lighting and guarding unit. If cards are expiring, the two-day refresher. Send us the job roles and we will confirm before you book.
Signing, lighting and guarding on your site starts from £260 + VAT per person. Novice weeks, refreshers and single units are quoted per group because practical centre and materials costs vary; you get a written quote within one working day.
We mainly run closed cohorts for councils and contractors. If you only have one or two people, ask and we will place them on the next suitable cohort.
Yes. These courses run at your premises anywhere in the UK or at our Northampton training room; some also run online.
Send delegate numbers, location and deadline through the form or by phone. You will have a written quote within one working day, and we invoice against a purchase order.
Usually yes. Tell us the mix and we will plan the days.
