BESPOKE COURSES
Providing bespoke training via our customised provision programme
We can provide bespoke training via our customised provision programme. One such programme currently being created for a national volunteer emergency service, involves creating a selection and training programme for individual volunteers to maximise their potential in a safe, controlled manner and thus creating individual learning ladders. At Terrafirma Training we are dedicated to raising skills and inspiring growth through first class training. We specialise in vehicle-based training courses, but can offer 600 quality-assured, land-based industry leading courses and qualifications to assist you to achieve your full potential (see Lantra’s website for the full list of courses). All our courses are delivered via a network of Ireland-based instructors, who are rigorously assessed to ensure they are delivering the highest standards of training.
