The Ayrton Group provided Linesight with a number of in-house Covid-19 Lead Worker Representative training sessions through CitA Skillnet Ireland. I found them extremely flexible and adaptable to our needs. Links, materials and certificates were all sent in a timely manner. The trainers provided by Ayrton were knowledgeable and engaging and the feedback from participants was very positive. I would have no hesitation in using the Ayrton Group again.

We were looking for Lead Worker Representative Training at very short notice. Ayrton was very accommodating in adjusting the content for our Retail Team and providing a number of courses at very short notice. They provide excellent value for money and would definitely recommend and use them again in the future. Would advise anyone to get in touch as they were very helpful with advice and recommendations.
