Accreditations & Associations
We always work in partnership with the leading associations and accrediting bodies in each training category in which we operate:
RTITB (formerly the Road Transport Industry Training Board)
Has over 40 years’ experience in the road freight and logistics sector and was one of the original accrediting bodies first recognised by the HSE when the scheme began.
Today RTITB accredits over 650 training sites around the UK and Ireland and operates the highly successful National Operator Registration Scheme (NORS). To date NORS has checked and validated over 406,000 qualifications and annually issues over 55,000 lift truck training qualifications. Operators, instructors, employers and agencies are all able to easily verify the details of training through NORS.
RTITB sets training standards that instructors can be proud to achieve and that employers can rely on.

Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH)
IOSH was founded in 1945 when the Institution of Industrial Safety Officers (IISO) was formed as a division of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA). The Institution gained its charitable status in 1962 and continues to operate as a not-for-profit organisation.
In 1981, the IISO was renamed as the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), and in 2002 was awarded a Royal Charter. From 2005, IOSH began awarding Chartered Safety and Health Practitioner status to recognise individual professionalism and commitment to continued learning and development.[9]
In 2011 along with other health and safety bodies in the UK, IOSH developed the Occupational Safety & Health Consultants Register (OSHCR)[10] to raise awareness and promote the use of certified health and safety consultants in the workplace.
