Testimonial

"I booked and attended three courses with HFR Solutions in order to revalidate my GWO certificates and have recommended them as a training provider for people looking at training for the offshore wind industry.  I found the instructors to be very knowledgeable in every sense of the word, their subject knowledge was excellent.  This knowledge and experience shone through in the confidence when they delivered the training, whilst remaining approachable to questions and alternative approaches to meet the target objective".
