Woodworking Machinery Training

Here at AMS all of our woodworking machinery training courses are tailored to compliment your employees learning needs and the equipment they are using. This can vary from a single classical woodworking machine to a range of more advanced equipment and machinery. Courses start from a single day but do vary depending upon what machines the employee is receiving training on and the number of staff attending.

Our woodworking machinery training courses cater for all members of staff including experienced users and novice level beginners. We also provide courses tailored specifically for Managers and Supervisors to ensure your staff are using equipment legally and safely. We work in association with training partners and offer courses from basic instruction through to NVQS.
