Great course and tutor.
Dave Hall is an excellent tutor and provided all necessary information in a very clear and easy to understand way, which helped me to pass my refresher SSSTS course with ease. I highly recommend Dave and HLS for this course.

Thank you Tom,
As you say Fraser is a top tutor who delivers the information in such a logical manner which simplifies the convoluted legislation we work with in this country. Well done on attaining a very good pass.
SSSTS Training - Virtual
Great session delivered by Dave. Instructive, informative and helpful. Delivered virtually which made attendance more practical. Even better if the number of breaks, and duration of tasks and breaks, were condensed to reduce the session from 2 days into 1.5 days.

James,
Thank you for attending our SSSTS online course and taking time out to write us a review. We totally get your comments on the timings however our hands are tied by the CITB Site Safety Plus Scheme Rules which dictate the course timings, when we deliver these online courses we have found that regular breaks away from the screen helps with the course delivery and participation from delegates. We will pass over your comments to their quality team.
SSSTS Remote Course
Great remote two day SSSTS course. Concise, focused, all the resources provided. Also plenty of breaks so it didn't feel like too much information at once!

Thank you for taking time to pen us a review Tom, we do our best to manage the time and to get the rest breaks right to enable the information to be digested to be able to move on to further aspects. It can also be slightly tougher doing the course online as it can be sterile at times. We have worked tirelessly on making sure the course is as interactive as possible. Well done on a quality pass.
Temp Works Coordinator 2 day course
The course was delivered very well with time taken to answer any questions. I would certainly recommend HLS Training.

Thank you for recommending HLS Paul,
The TWC course is a tough 2 days to assimilate all the given information hence question answering is key to ensure that each topic is understood before moving on, we pride ourselves on ensuring dialogue both ways. Well done on a quality pass mark and please keep safe.

SMSTS course - remote
Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, & helpful trainer (Dave Hall) who delivered the course in a clear way - all delegates on my course passed first time with flying colours! Lovely small group, with a good mix of learning methods including presentations, revision questions, pair and team activities, independent study time, and instruction of how to get the best out of the resources provided. Would happily attend other courses in the future.

SMSTS Remote Course
Started the week full of dread and uncertainty, that was soon quashed with a small group of candidates and a relaxed knowledgeable instructor in Dave.
An intense week for those who have either not done the course before or have let it slip but with good instructional techniques and a way of bringing the information out, the course delivered in abundance and the results were there to prove it. Cheers Dave!

Thank you for such a positive review of our CITB SMSTS course with Dave in Newcastle. Lots of delegates start the week very apprehensive but with quality practical tutors whose knowledge is exceptional assists in breaking down the course aims and aspects to logically link them together. Your results prove that your dread was unfounded and well done on such a quality pass.

Dave was incredibly helpful and took time to go through things individually with me where he could see I was struggling.
The course flew by as his teaching style was relaxed with good humour and not just death by PowerPoint. I will be booking back here for my refresher course in 5 years.

Thank you so much for such a positive personal review of Dave and our SMSTS course in Newcastle.
It is something we pride ourselves in making sure that all delegates irrelevant of their experience and learning speed are looked after individually. The course time length allows for this one to one interaction and Dave is exceptional at getting the key learning points across in such a logical way. Congratulations on a quality pass.
