I would recommend this company, in a heartbeat.
I did the 360 excavater course, with Mike and Darren. They were both... incredibly knowledgeable, informative who help you to operate the machine when you get to site and not just pass the test, both also have a great calming effect on the trainees.
Also the office staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. Thank you all
