Course Aim
This course is aimed at personnel who are required to work at height.
In recent years, the number of workplace injuries and fatalities from work at height have increased. Alongside our trusted partner, MSA, we are committed to play our part in the reduction of this figure. We have given full backing and support in developing a City & Guilds endorsed Working at Height & Rescue 2-day training course.
The aim of the course is to up the standard of work at height education, giving a trusted and recognised qualification to anyone who needs to work at height.
Candidates will receive a City & Guilds certificate on successful completion of this course.
This course can be delivered in our Training Academy in Sheffield in a purpose-built training facility ensuring a safe, real-life training environment, or on your site (subject to survey to confirm suitability).
