Kentec Training

Kentec Training is a third-generation, family-owned training provider with roots dating back to 1978, headquartered at Riverdale Estate in Tonbridge, Kent, with a second purpose-built training centre in Ashford. Delivering over 150 accredited safety training programmes to businesses and individuals across Kent, the South East, and the wider UK, the company has built a long-standing reputation on quality, consistency, and a genuine commitment to raising industry standards.

The provider's course portfolio spans health and safety, work at height, workplace safety, first aid, forklift training, plant and machinery, and a growing eLearning catalogue, alongside an Instructor Academy for those looking to develop in-house training capability. All courses are delivered from purpose-built facilities equipped with the company's own industry-grade training equipment, supported by a team of full-time in-house instructors, many of whom are armed forces veterans, with an average 96% pass rate across all programmes.

A notable distinction is the role Kentec's Managing Director Steve Booker plays at industry level, serving on the training committees of PASMA, IPAF, and the Ladder Association, and actively lobbying Parliament on working at height legislation. This means Kentec's courses are genuinely shaped by the same people developing the standards behind them.

Accreditation spans CITB, IPAF, PASMA, IOSH, UKATA, Ladder Association, and NEBOSH, with the company also accredited to deliver NEBOSH qualifications and supporting learners with CITB grant funding. Additional services include face fit, ladder, and harness inspection, live virtual classroom sessions, and access equipment sales as an approved UTS reseller.
