Removals training from the experts

We offer training in all aspects of the removals industry and are a BAR Approved Training Centre. We offer all BAR training courses, and can create a training programme to exactly suit your business' needs.

Training is available at our dedicated centre in Manchester (just by the M60 and the Trafford Centre) or at your location.

Below are just some of the topics we cover, please ask if you don't see what you need or would like to design your own training programme.
