I can’t speak highly enough of this training provider. Sion and the whole team were amazing though out the whole week. I’ll definitely be back in the future and would definitely recommend to friends in the industry.

I can highly recommend ACOP, one of the best training firms I have worked with. Sion and the team are clearly highly skilled at what they do, have a fantastic setup and do all they can to help you complete whatever course you're taking. I completed the Lift Supervisor course led by Sion, and I can't thank you enough for the training provided.
I will definitely be back for the Appointed Person course.

Very good experience, the theory was easy to understand and everything explained perfectly. The telehandler practical was in an old quarry a stones throw from the offices. What an amazing set up.
Thanks for everything Robbie R

Recently attended the Appointed Person course. The course trainer (Darren) was very approachable knowledgeable on the topics covered. The course was well delivered and full of valuable information. The trainer explained everything in a clear and engaging way, making even the complex parts easy to understand. The course covered all key responsibilities thoroughly, and the practical examples really helped build confidence.

Can't recommend this training center enough, I've been in the industry for over 24 years and I can Honestly say this is probably best training center my company has used.
Darren was superb, made the course extremely interesting and was extremely helpful throughout.

Very good place to do training. I have been and seen Sion 6 times now. I done Telehander allsizes A17 plus lifting ops, crane supervisor and Slinger signalman. A77 Roto telehandler. Good bantering and a good crack. I recommend acops to anyone. I travel from Dorset as prices as much as half the price to Dorset. Many CPCS courses to do. Ive been back again to do my A02 crawler crane thanks to Richard and Alex. Nice fellas and very good in what the do!
