The big question...
Why train with us?
There are lots of companies out there that offer instructor training and you have to choose the correct company that works for you. It would be really easy for us to try and say that we are the best ... but anyone can say that ...
One of the things that we feel makes us stand out from some of the other companies you may come across, is the fact that we are still a small, independent, local company.
Why is this good?
Well in our opinion - this is good because it means that we are able to support you in many ways that the big national companies are just not able to do due to lack of time or numbers of staff.
