Qualified Persons Program Coordination

The program is conducted on-site in Gosport, UK and includes lunch. Given the hands-on nature of the training, it is organised in a way that allows for real-time observation, offering a holistic learning experience.
To ensure the seamless execution of the training sessions, a senior member of our staff or technical experts will facilitate your scheduled training session. This ensures that participants get the most from the training, facilitated by experienced professionals in the field.

Once you have registered  and your session confirmed, a detailed plan of the training day will be sent out ahead of time. 
As this training is being performed on-site, if you're traveling from afar, we're more than willing to assist in providing information to help you arrange accommodation nearby.
