If you need to train your staff in the use and safety of woodworking machine tools, or in basic woodworking machine maintenance, we have the expertise and the team to do it, at a competitive price.

We can visit your company, make a diagnosis and draw up a customized training proposal. You can also choose the type of machine tools you’d like to train your staff on, let us know and we’ll get back to you with a quote as soon as possible.

The aim of the training course is to enable machine tool users to acquire the knowledge they need to carry out their work with complete peace of mind and without apprehension.

The training objectives are to enable participants to discover the different functions of machine tools, to use appropriate and safe work methods, to use the right machine tool for the job, to understand and apply health and safety standards, to perfect work techniques and to master basic maintenance.
