I had a very fine experience when I recently used Blackwood Training to update my blue card for tracked and wheeled excavators.
The staff were fantastic and made my two day visit to the training complex an absolute pleasure. The training staff and the office staff were exemplary in there ability to assist me in learning and understanding everything that I needed to know in order to pass the tests and get back in the saddle again, pulling levers.
