The facilities were excellent and training was top quality. I was made to feel comfortable and everything was explained very well. Many thanks.
I really enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish. I had plenty of seat time on the excavator. Trainer and tester were great couldn't ask for anything more from them.
Fantastic course. Matt and Danny both had great knowledge and fantastic communication skills with us. 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. 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.
Found the course challenging but enjoyable. Nick had plenty of experience to guide us in the right direction. Great use of models and tools to make it understandable. Facilities were spot on and everyone was friendly and welcoming.
I have done a lot of CPCS training over years and BAM Construction Training are by far the best! Everything from the trainers, office personnel and facilities is first class. I would highly recommend them.
