Course is very clear and easy to understand when hanging on ropes, I have learnt a lot in my time at 5th point even been a refresher course it had helped me make sure I am doing my job properly and adding extra techniques and ways around the ropes. Wayne is a very good instructor and makes then easy to understand. Thanks 5th point

Excellent trainers and a wide variety of different equipment to play around with. Lots of dummy casualties allow for quick rescue training scenario turnaround.
