Well what can I say, such a friendly family run company that I would highly recommend them to anyone. With the knowledge and experience that VPT has is next level, as I’ve just completed a 2 day novice dumper course and now looking forward to my Tele-handler in the next month or so. Thank you so much VPT

Was on the two day signaller and slingers course. Both tutors were so helpful and explained everything in depth in a way that was easy for me to understand. Would highly recommend for anyone at any level thinking about taking this course. Really enjoyable experience.

Dean Snarey

Great morning spent on an experience day in a 360 digger. 1-2-1 training for someone who hadn't driven one of these before the a couple of hours trying to move various materials around. Really good time with great instruction, would recommend to anyone.
