Excellent CDM course by Paul Lefrere
Paul Lefrere was excellent in his delivery of the CDM session today. Paul was very knowledgeable, giving real life and relatable experiences in a format that was engaging, and created an interactive session to aid learning. I would recommend this course and Paul again, however it would be beneficial to share slides and resources for after the session to refer back to.

Ali was fantastic
Ali was fantastic, added comedy to the 2 days. He is very knowledgeable and asked him questions regarding some TM for work and he was happy to give advice.
Lots of information was shared but the way Ali taught the course made it really inclusive and more of a conversation taking lore information in.

Attended a WAH course
Attended a WAH course, the trainer and course content were excellent. The venue was clean tidy and well presented. The only improvement I would recommend would be an indoor area for the practical when bad weather conditions.

SMSTS Trainer Paul Lefrere gave a lot more usefull info than what was on the slides. Better than just watching a Power Point Session.
Enjoyed it.
Was concerned about doing it online but all went well. Actually better than driving 100 miles plus to do the course.

Scaffolding Inspector Course
I recently attended the scaffold inspection course with Paul up in Leeds. It was a really informative course getting to know all about scaffolding. The photos and real life examples were great and kept the course engaging. I would recommend.
