Elite Project Services currently run accredited and awareness courses in 10 HMP establishments in London and the surrounding areas.
Our accreditation qualifications include Qualsafe first aid, fire safety and manual handling as well as EUSR CSCS courses. We have designed a Rail course called ‘On the Right Track’ specifically for our prison courses and we are proud of the quality and standard this awareness course offers those due to leave custody and return to the community.
We will then continue with the practical elements of the training and ensure learners become fully qualified and ready for employment within rail or construction, giving them the opportunity to change their lives, desist from crime and avoid reoffending.
