I had an amazing experience with HSS Training at their Aylesford location. Sulav, our IPAF/MEWP trainer, was absolutely outstanding. His knowledge was second to none, and his training style made everything easy to follow and understand. As someone with no prior experience other than basic familiarisation with 3A and 3B platforms, I was a bit nervous. But Sulav broke the content down into simple, manageable steps, which gave me a lot of confidence. I’m now IPAF certified for the next 5 years and feel genuinely excited about what’s ahead. I would 100% recommend HSS Training and will be coming back to them when it’s time to renew. Thank you, Sulav!

Great course; actually learnt something!
Great course great experience
Did PAT testing with Steve, great insight and knowledge. Gave good insight and ran the course great.
Completed pat testing course at HSS. Great course. Steve the electrical trainer took the course, very easy going and great teacher. Highly recommended.
Completed a SSSTS course at the Beckton branch today and yesterday. Where do I begin… the instructor was an hour late on the first day which he put down to traffic. He proceeded to show us a 2 minute long video which by the end of, he had fallen asleep at his desk and was only awoken by other people on the course. He would constantly take personal phone calls when he was in the middle of explaining something. He must have done this at least three times. On both days, he insisted that we had to stay past the given finish time of 4:30pm for seemingly no reason which had huge implications on childcare/travel/evening plans for a number of people in the class. His style of teaching was very rushed. I have come away from this course with not much extra learning and only managed to pass due to existing knowledge I already had. If you’re looking to sit your SSSTS course with HSS Hire Beckton, I’d run a mile and go with someone else.
John is one of the best trainers I have had and appreciated his direct training methods
