Train with us!

Kentra Training was established by Norman Kennish in February 1997, providing on-site courses for all types of industries. We now provide over 100 different courses covering all areas including agricultural, industrial and construction, many of which have NPORS accreditation available.

Norman was first registered as an instructor in 1985 and a commercial consultant and trainer from 1989. Since then the business has continued to grow with Norman’s wife Tricia joining as a partner, followed by their children Emma and John.   A purpose built office was created in 2005, moving to a larger office in 2015 as more staff joined the business allowing greater flexibility for the business to continue growing.
