Reviews from our happy clients
I have no hesitation in recommending COTS Training
I have no hesitation in recommending COTS Training. Based on our experience of dealing with the guys in the office and their trainers, they are totally professional, very accommodating and nothing but helpful.
Even when we need to have a course run urgently, they are always able to fit us in.

Amazing Staff, So much knowledge.
Us as a company have been using COTS for a couple of years now. All the staff have been amazing from start to finish for each course. Lee for his expertise with MEWP Boom, Gantry and HAVs training, Andrew for Gantry, James for Combi FLT and Jamie for Counterbalance, all so knowledgeable and the guys who completed the training all said how good the course was and the information provided. The prompt responses from Jason & Joshua when I have contacted, exceed my expectations.
This is the only training company we use now for our main equipment. Highly recommend for first class service.

Far exceeded our expectations
Andy delivered the course that far exceeded our expectations. He was professional and was able to accommodate the differing levels of experience in the room within his stride.
The whole group came away with some great knowledge and a full understanding of what is required to utilise what is a new piece of equipment for the business.
Andy was able to provide some great advice with suitable items of equipment and the training that we would need to be able to complete an upcoming contract we have, after we identified that the current equipment we have would not fit into the spaces that it was intended to be used for. It was a pleasure to be on the course myself and Andy represented COTS to a very high standard.

Outstanding course at Swansea Prison
I just wanted to touch base to thank you for delivering another outstanding course at Swansea Prison. Your professionalism, flexibility and willingness to adapt with the prison regime has not gone unnoticed by senior members and we are extremely grateful for your continued support.
We would love to run another course in May. Thank you again and we will hopefully see you soon.

Thank you for the excellent service provided
Just a quick message to let you know what an assert Dave is to your company. Not having been in a classroom environment since 1980 I was very apprehensive, Dave immediately put us all at ease, his method of teaching really works. He was always thorough and ensured everybody understood before moving on, also he adapted the structure of the day to suit to ensure that those who needed extra tuition in certain areas got it. Thank you for the excellent service provided.

He skilfully put the individual at ease, allowing them to sail through the test with confidence.
Recently, we had a participant who was extremely nervous and visibly shaking during the training session. Andrew's approach was absolutely fantastic. He skilfully put the individual at ease, allowing them to sail through the test with confidence.
Andrew's ability to handle challenging situations and create a supportive learning environment is truly commendable. His expertise and professionalism significantly contribute to the success of your training programs.
Thank you for having such a talented trainer on your team.

A totally professional outfit
Although I knew a lot of it, it was nice to learn something I didn’t know. Especially when I have worked on the trucks for 20 years. We used iPad’s, a totally professional outfit.
Absolutely fantastic training, really enjoyed it.
