AS Training & Consultancy (Scotland) Ltd is Scotland’s leading provider of rescue training and occupational safety training for those working in hazardous outdoor environments. Alongside our sister company, Adventure Scotland Ltd we provide practical, relevant training and sound advice for rescue services and organisations that operate in the fields of education, environmental research, power generation, fish farming, forestry, agriculture, tourism and civil engineering.

Our aim is to enable safe action that gets the job done. We will help you to identify significant risk areas and will recommend practical controls designed to reduce risk to acceptable working levels.

Whether the implementation of practical controls requires implementing safe systems of work, providing specialist training or the provision of specialist safety cover on the ground, we can usually assist you directly with a full package of measures.

From start to finish, you will experience a high standard of safety, service and presentation.
