From day 1 it was clear that the team at REAX knew what they were doing. The material and instruction is delivered by professionals in their field. They have had to implement in real life situations that they are asking you to do in practice. As a result the experience is both knowledgeable and realistic. Good, clean facilities with excellent equipment and resources. Will never forget FHEAD or its importance in my day to day role. Thank you all.
I recently attended a Rescue Skills Awareness course at REAX and can highly recommend them. The instructors are very knowledgeable and have actual field experience in the emergency services which helps with the training. The equipment was great to use and the practical training area was perfect for the rescue training requirements in my field.
Had my MRCS course with Andy and must say REAX has easy been the best place I've done it ( done with 3 other providers previously over last 12 years ). Andy made the course enjoyable and informative at the same time, would highly recommend doing this course here!
Took my MRCS course today with Andy and was assessed by Les. Andy was 100% perfect in all aspects of his delivery ranging from knowledge to real life situations which he has been a part of and that really helps you to stay engaged throughout. Andy spoke clearly and in an easy to understand manner and that made the course better as it was delivered by a human and not a scripted robot. Les our assessor was also fantastic and really understands the affects of the test/course environment can have on students and has a great eye for knowing if you actually know the relevent information even if you can't convey it successfully. As for the facilities... TOP DRAW the best facility for training I have ever been and that's by a country mile... Meticulously clean, more than enough equipment I imagine there would still be spare equipment even if they were at full capacity the place is a credit the team. As an addition to the review I want to add that what the guys must of been busy with the adapting of the courses and facilities to cater for COVID-19 and the obvious issues that present when trying to carry out group exercises etc.. Temps and O2 levels taken on arrival for the duration of the days present Signing of informational disclaimer form on arrivals Hand sanitizer stations everywhere and more (all full) Wipes provided Gloves Stay with equipment for your duration there To much to keep listing. A**** All round. Thank you for a brilliant couple of days and great course.
The team were welcoming, very well organised with regards to covid-19 and the course was really good. Ian the instructor was brilliant he made you feel at ease. I would definitely recommend.

An excellent Working at Height course, well equipped centre and very knowledgable tutor.
Yes the coarse was excellent Alan was very good tutor explained things really well and the actual training was very professionally done and learnt a lot and do the tasks safely and correctly
Been on two courses here and both have been a great help in producing h&s documentation for on site work and for the safe contractor status
great set up ! andy was a good instructor and overall it was a good course ! think it was a little more towards rope access than scaffolding have used simpler techniques in the past but enjoyed it anyway
Have to say thoroughly enjoyed the medium risk confined space course. Les my tutor was superb and he taught the group in a great manner and listened and had a jovial way about him. Thought the set up at REAX was also top drawer
Excellent course and after care.highly reccomend.
Following on from my training yesterday high level access with andy William's can I sum up my review in one word Superb !! Great set up great team well done
Excellent course. Excellent instructor Sue McGrath who uses her life experiences as a paramedic to keep you interested and help understand things easier. Venue is very clean, tidy and welcoming and has good brewing up facilities. Meals provided are also excellent. Other courses available all taught by Ex emergency services so have years of knowledge and experience. Definitely recommend here for any of your courses.
Fantastic! Well prepared and well taught confined spaces course. Precise and to the point. No problems before going into final exam and practical. Two thumbs up!
