'Philip Bralsford Consultancy & Training provided a concise and informative service to assist our accreditation to EN 1090. Their RWC training course fully encompassed the modules and information required to educate and train our key staff members with further educated replies to questions put forward in the provided discussion periods, which greatly assisted the understanding and application of EN 1090, RWC roles and many welding / metallurgy procedures within and outside the remit of the course taken by our staff. I would highly recommend the services he provides.'

'Along with one of our Lead Mechanical Engineers, I recently attended and successfully completed an RWC Training Course provided by Philip Bralsford Consultancy & Training, Sheffield. From the onset, the depth of knowledge shown by Phillip was excellent and along with his training method and materials he made the course very interesting. It was by no means a push over and there was no time to sit back and relax but an enjoyable course none the less. As designers and manufacturers of Stainless Steel access platforms and structures for the food & drinks industry, I had initial concerns that the course would be biased to Carbon Steels and not cover our needs but Philip had done his homework and prepared a separate and detailed study session to specifically cover Stainless Steels. I would recommend Phillip Bralsford to anyone contemplating the RWC training now or in the future.'
