The facilities were excellent and training was top quality. I was made to feel comfortable and everything was explained very well. I got the number from a guy on site who said he previously used BAM. Many thanks.

I really enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish. Facilities were sufficient for my training and I had plenty of seat time on the excavator. Trainer and tester (Danny & Darren) were great couldn't ask for anything more from them.

Fantastic course. Machines were in very good condition and working great. Matt and Danny took good care of us all. They both had great knowledge and fantastic communication skills with us all. All the guys left BAM with a high level of skill and knowledge and more importantly very safe working practices on the machines.

Enjoyed the course, it was insightful. Trainers were helpful, instructive and patient. There's a lot to take in but they go at a steady pace without overwhelming you with information. Equipment was in very good condition. Tester was vigilant but also understanding of the weather conditions that day. All the facilities you need are there, the footwear cleaning station was much needed too.

Definitely found the course challenging but enjoyable. Nick had plenty of tricks and experience to guide us in the right direction throughout the week, getting everyone involved. Great use of models and tools to make it more understandable and easier to digest. Facilities were spot on and everyone was friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend BAMCT.
