It pays to be selective when booking training courses because not all training providers are what they appear to be.

Lighthouse Safety Training are fully accredited by CITB to provide the Directors Role for Health & Safety course and proof of that accreditation can be seen at our accreditation page.

A well presented course by Rick. I did feel the health and safety culture was delivered well where other training has become a legal responsibility only!

Thank you again for yesterday’s training, I say thank you even though I paid for the privilege to be there but want to thank you for delivering it in such a way that genuinely captured me for the first minute! Hard hitting, engaging, honest and really made everyone in the room remove all their own personal opinions on H&S process and make sure everyone fully understands its primary cause…..to protect the HUMAN. I really enjoyed yesterday and with a young business has really made me want to present my business in a particular way to my staff and subcontractors to make sure everyone understands and has the safe focus to H&S and how to keep each other safe the best we can.
