I want to increase my understanding of work at height through a short course and hopefully achieving a recognised certificate for the training that I would have undertaken. I want to know about putting harnesses on correctly, safe use of self-propelled mobile platforms, fall arrest and fall protection devices, and to know if scaffolding is safe to use etc. There seems to be a lot of people out there willing to take my money but are any of them worth it?
Thanks for any help offered.
Richard.

you are looking for a lot this will take several courses to achieve this. Advice would be to ask companies for references and also find out how much practical training will be involved. Nothing worse than spending a day with a consultant who has no practical knowledge of the subject.
Better to be trained by someone who has in depth knowledge than someone paid to deliver a powerpoint course.
The Hse as mentioned has a good range of advice.
Just because you get a certificate it does not mean you will get the right training.
email me for further advice

Everything apart from the MEWP bit is easy to cover on a basic fall protection awareness course (and all the main WAH trainers run those, typically lasting a day with a few hours of practical). MEWP operation is a course in its own right, usually people opt for one of the courses run by IPAF members.
Note - the HSE does not provide training, advertise training or certify trainers. Unlike with First Aid they have nothing whatsoever to do with the course content or who provides it. There's a British Standard instead - BS8454 - and whoever you use should be compliant with that.
