We have used David from Affordable Training for our machinery courses for a number of years. They have always been professional, reliant and easy to deal with. I would highly recommend them! Richard one of the trainers and assessors was fantastic.

Rhys James

I have recently completed excavator training with Affordable Training.

I cannot recommend them highly enough. The training was very throughout and well explained. The theoretical and practical assessments were explained in depth and you can tell from the get go they really know their stuff. The equipment was new, safe and expertly maintained.

I would not hesitate to recommend them and will definitely be booking my next qualifications with them in the future.

Affordable Training are very thorough and ensures that all students doing their training leave there competent and are very capable of using machinery trained for. I did my training with David for over 11meters knuckle boom lift & he was excellent in his delivery of training and makes sure that you understand all the risks involved as well with using these machines that’s what makes them be so thorough with their training. Very professional, very friendly the whole team of their organisation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏽👏🏽
