Testimonials
“Having a background in civil engineering but now working in safety on an electrical based job, this course was excellent in being both understandable to those whose primary background is electrical and also those whose background is not (like myself).”
“I will be highly recommending this course to colleagues - in particular the lead presenter was excellent and was ably supported by his Horizon colleagues. The group exercise was also really good.”
“Excellent well-informed training making me very aware of my electrical safety requirements.”
