Did You Know? Our Workplace Training Courses Go Beyond Forklifts!

When you think of Kentra Training, what’s the first course that comes to mind?

For many of our customers, it’s forklift training. But did you know our workplace training courses cover so much more?

From plant machinery and lifting operations to health and safety, horticulture and instructor training, we’ve been helping businesses keep their employees safe since 1997.

In fact, one of the things we hear most often from our existing customers is:

“Oh, I didn’t realise you did that course too!”

So, we thought it was time to shine a spotlight on some of the other training courses available through Kentra Training!

Whether you’re responsible for a busy warehouse, construction site, manufacturing facility, school, estate or grounds maintenance team, there’s a good chance we can help with more of your training requirements than you might realise!
