Windhoist Training Courses
We have used the experience and expertise we have gathered working in the wind and construction industries to create a range of GWO and RUK approved training courses. These have been designed to pass on our knowledge of working at height, carrying out rescues at height and health and safety procedures.
All of these courses are delivered from our new world class training centre in Irvine, Scotland.
If you have any specific requirements you would like to speak to us about get in contact today to discuss these with one of our training experts.
