Courses
At Tamarack there are no fixed or set itinerary’s for courses, it is up to you to design your own course, this gives you a greater flexibility, ensuring you get what you want.
There is no set dates either, giving you the opportunity to fit the course in, when you want it.
All you have to do is pick of the list below as many subjects, skills or activity’s as you like and then contact us. We will then offer advise and guidance on the best way to approach and put the itinerary together. Once this is agreed, we can then give you a price and set a date for the course.
We can also come to you to deliver training and courses on your site. This usually means an initial site visit to ensure all health and safety matters are covered and the site is suitable for the activity’s you require.
