Private delivery enables workplaces to provide training in the way that works best for them. This flexible option makes training groups of learners easy, allowing you to set the date, use example training scenarios based on your workplace, and choose how the training is offered. A knowledgeable health and safety consultant will deliver the training through your choice of medium: virtually or delivered in-person at your workplace.
