Independent accreditation

Our occupational spirometry training courses have been independently accredited and are registered to provide delegates with continuing professional development to maintain, develop/increase knowledge and raise professional performance standards for industrial spirometry screening programmes.

Course delegates will receive a certificate on completion of the course and each course offers delegates a number of CPD points under the accredited programme.  The one and a half day course also provides competency based training for delegates who require this level of knowledge and practical skills.

  • In-company training

    If you have a number of delegates who require the same training we can visit your workplace and deliver the course at a time and place to suit you.

    This is an effective way of training several delegates at the same time, saving on time, travel costs and expenses, whilst also ensuring less disruption to day-to-day work activities.

    Our expert tutors will take the time to understand your organisation’s learning needs so that we can provide a training solution that satisfies your business objectives. For more information on in-company training, please contact our customer support team.
