⭐ Another Fantastic 5-Star Review for Ainscough Training Services ⭐

We would like to thank Tom Rogerson for once again choosing Ainscough Training Services for his professional development, this time successfully completing the 3-Day CPCS A62 Lift Supervisor course with Tom Keep. 👏

It is always rewarding to see delegates return to continue their training journey with us, and we are especially pleased to hear that Tom is already looking forward to returning for his Appointed Person course.

Tom recently shared the following feedback after completing the course:
“Absolutely fantastic yet again, I'm looking forward to coming back for my AP. Thank you all.”

Tom had previously completed the 6-Day Crane Operator course with us and also provided this excellent review of his experience:

“Instructors Tom and Dave were both fantastic. Very nice, informative and always checking we were following before proceeding to the next part. They gave me everything I needed from total amateur to achieve a pass on both tests on day 6. Examiner Joe was also very nice, supportive and fair. If anyone reading this is nervous about the course/exam then don't be, they'll support and help you from start to finish. Provided lunches are lovely, and the facilities are nice, new and clean. Can't ask for more.”

Feedback like this reflects the commitment of our instructors and training team to delivering high-quality, supportive, and practical training for every delegate.

Congratulations again to Tom on his continued success, and thank you for the outstanding feedback and ongoing support.

If you are looking to start or progress your career in lifting operations with CPCS-accredited training or our own industry-standard certification programmes, our experienced team is here to support you every step of the way.

🚧 Fleeting & Rigging Training – Built for High-Risk Industries

Working in Nuclear, Offshore, Oil & Gas, Engineering or Modular Construction?

Then you already know—standard lifting scenarios don’t reflect the reality on site.

At Ainscough Training Services, our NPORS N047 Fleeting & Rigging course is designed around the environments you actually operate in:
✔ Confined spaces
✔ Restricted headroom
✔ Complex load movements
✔ Real-world rigging challenges

Delivered at our purpose-built facility in Leyland—or on your site—this training goes beyond the basics to develop the skills needed for precision, control, and safety in critical operations.

Already delivered for major industry clients including EDF, Amentum, and Dalkia.

If your teams are working in safety-critical or regulated environments, this is the next step in lifting competence.

A huge thank you to Phil Kean from Ashford Infrastructure, who passed his CPCS A61 Appointed Person course with us 👏

“Recently completed the AP Course. Although quite intensive with a lot of information to take in, Dave Pattern our instructor made the whole class feel at ease, with the 5 days flying by. Having the theory paper tackled on day 1 was excellent, giving you enough time throughout the week to master it.

Dave was always there to assist and make sure everything clicked by day 4, ready for test day on day 5. Very professional from start to finish. Thanks.”

Well done Phil, and thank you for the fantastic feedback! 🙌

What a view — and a fantastic training course! ⭐

⭐ Huge thank you to Serguei Joa for his fantastic 5⭐ Google Review — and congratulations on passing your CPCS Appointed Person for Lifting Operation a👏🎉

“I recently completed the Appointed Person for Lifting Operations course and cannot recommend it enough.

Our instructor, Stuart Hall, was fantastic. He has tons of experience (pun intended!) and a real knack for making the complex theory material enjoyable. His personal anecdotes from his own career brought the regulations to life and made the information much easier to retain.

The course was held at the Union Jack Club in Southwark. It’s a great central location, but the real highlight was the training room on the 23rd floor — the views of London were highly appreciated during the breaks!

If you need this qualification, book this course. Stuart’s expertise and the excellent setting make for a top-tier learning experience. Highly recommended!”

A brilliant achievement, Serguei, and great feedback for Stuart and the team! 👌
