Champion Training Solutions is an Exeter-based training centre delivering accredited health, safety and construction skills training across the South West. It was built on the foundations of a long-established ground-works contractor with more than 40 years on site, and that shows in the teaching — the trainers still work on live construction projects, so the examples come from real jobs rather than a course pack.
