SHEilds specialise in accredited and bespoke health and safety training courses and with over 20 years of experience, our prospectus is always developing.
At the start of 2022 SHEilds were approached by one of the UK’s leading rail companies who needed a specialised rail training course for managing safely, as this course didn’t exist SHEilds designed, built, and had accredited a level 2 qualification.
