These training courses can be run at a venue of your choice, before booking you will need to make the following arrangements:

Due to the nature of these training courses, we do not offer individual bookings; The Maintenance basics, Trail inspection, and Maintenance coordinator courses are for up to a maximum of 10 participants, and it is the responsibility of the party booking the training to fill the available spaces, pricing is for training and assessment for the whole group.
