A huge thank you to the team!

Thank you so much to the team at Ground Up Training who have donated equipment and resources to support outdoor learning here at Leverton Primary School. We were greeted by friendly, approachable staff who made us feel very welcome on site and have been so supportive of our needs. The children will gain such valuable outdoor experiences taking part in activities using the donated equipment. Thank you.

Great Instructors.

Highly recommended. On a five year view I have consistently found the courses thorough, detailed and well delivered. If you are struggling they are very good at finding ways to get you past it.

NOT USA company!

NOT USA company!! North east London based.
I have a background in training and found these folks to be one of the best , in training techniques, that I have come across. Their motto says it all - "train to pass". The courses I did (CS30 and 31) are longer than other training providers (7 days as opposed to 5 days) This means they are able to spend more time on revision and so you are way more likely to pass assesment. Excellent
