Training and further education
Even the best fall protection system offers no safety if it is used or operated incorrectly. Professional training enables routinised working! Routine creates safety! Safety increases efficiency! If you prefer, we can train your employees on site - in your company, at your workplace or on the construction site. This enables our professional trainers to focus even more precisely on your needs and work processes. In training centres, you will encounter a wide variety of exercise scenarios, both indoors and outdoors. Our certified courses impart the necessary know-how for your individual work requirements in theory and practice. You will be trained as an expert in both theory and practice in accordance with legal requirements. We provide the theoretical part of the courses on our e-learning platform. This gives you the opportunity to access your learning materials at any time and from anywhere.
