Training Courses

Using a combination of in-house experience and expert associates, Expert Ease International aims to meet the specific and particular needs of our clients through the development of programmes addressing the health and safety management requirements of companies throughout Ireland and UK.

Whilst addressing those needs through established and open programmes, Expert Ease International also offers tailored training, consultancy and evaluation services specific to the individual company.  In-company training is often the desired option when businesses have special development needs to meet specific projects or operational requirements.  The benefits of such programmes are that they are economical, time saving and they can be scheduled to suit the company's needs.  Training will normally take place on company premises although, if required, it can be provided off site in more suitable venues.
