BOOK YOUR OWN COURSE & DATE

I want to contribute to my community!
Let me train your friends, colleagues or your crew at your place of business or mine!

BOOK EARLY! 6 months in advance to secure a date

If you are supplying the venue, it must be an appropriate clean space for the number of candidates with sufficient floor space, ventilation and facilities. I am doing my best to help out other small businesses. I prefer a minimum of 8 to a max of 18 candidates. Please message to inquire :)


My home base is in Nelson, however, I do travel to train within the West Kootenay area including Trail, Rossland, Fruitvale, Castlegar, Salmo, Kaslo and the Slocan Valley. I also potentially train in Kelowna and Kamloops with appropriate venue and accommodations' provided.
