Took the one-day Working at Height course this week (October 2023) with some colleagues from Arup. Pete was a great trainer - full of deep technical knowledge as well as years of practical experience. I have to do a Working at Height course every three years and they are usually dull, but I really enjoyed this one and the practical training was brilliant.
