Can anybody out there recommend a banksman training provider? We had a course booked in for today, halted work in our warehouse and set up a classroom, only to be stood up by the training provider. This had taken me months to set up, from convincing senior management that this would be a valuable course, to arranging for the warehouse to be 'shut down' for the day. Needless to say, I'm not the most popular person in the company this morning.
We're based in the North West (Rochdale), and basically want to ensure that reversing vehicles are controlled safely on our site. If anybody could recommend a training provider who will actually turn up on the day I would be extremely grateful.

Many thanks in advance.

The RoSPA course was actually a Traffic Banksman Assessor course which would enable someone like a supervisor for example to train your Banksmen. It would work for a straight training course however as it wasn't overly complicated or involved.
