Specialist Training's 20th birthday celebrations

building.jpg

Time certainly does fly!

In September 1999 Specialist Training was launched, based at The Globe Centre in Accrington.  Three years later we moved to our current location on Altham Industrial Estate where we now call home!

All of our courses are regulatory based within the industries we serve eg. fork lift truck, first aid, driver CPC, operator CPC, carriage of dangerous goods by road, sea and air. Over the last 20 years our portfolio of courses and services have developed and will continue to do so keeping in touch with the ever-changing regulations. 

The senior management team responsible for setting up Specialist 20 years ago are still involved in the business today. 

    

To add to this strong foundation, we have a team of dedicated employees some of who have been with us since 2003 and have seen us grow and go from strength to strength.

We are very proud of our huge achievement in reaching the milestone of being 20 years old and plan on having a year of celebrations which will start in September 2019. 

As we want to share this with you every candidate who attends a course with us will get a FREE GIFT! Additionally, we have also made a commitment to donate to our local charities, chosen by our staff.  We will be sharing our stories and adventures as they occur over the next 12 months.
