Fantastic experience: I had what I consider the best training for First Aid. Kevin Gibson conducted the 3 sessions and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have learned important information and the training was excellent, from my point of view, I couldn't have had the best training given, Kevin Gibson and his experience gave me the best knowledge and i truely have gained something i can take through my life, The way he conducted the training was the best. I enjoyed hearing some fine situations that he had and was able to incorporate them with the training. He made the course enjoyable and was very good at engaging with us in regards with his experience and the training provided. Thank you Specalist Training Consultants for the opportunity and hospitality 10 out of 10 all round

Fantastic experience: I sat my Transport Manager cpc with Specialist in October 2021. The ladies who dealt with booking the course were lovely and considering we had to swap instructors part way through due to covid, the replacement instructor was great too. It was a hard course spread over 2 weeks but I passed so I can't fault them. They gave me a massive revision book too which definitely helped! This is the second course I've passed with them after doing my ADR last summer. I'd 100% recommend.
