Training

Agility offer a number of Safety Management training courses in two formats:

  • Open courses designed for individual delegates to attend from different companies with no more than 12 delegates on each course. The dates of open courses are scheduled across the year; please use the contact options below to request the latest schedule of training courses.
  • Dedicated courses are designed to be held at your premises for up to 12 delegates. These courses are more cost effective when there is a requirement to train a larger group of delegates (three or more). Dedicated courses are arranged at a location, date and time to meet your specific requirements.
