Why choose Hi-Line Training?

What our customers say

“Atkinson Tree Services have used Hi-Line Training for a number of years now and we find the training extremely relevant and tailored to tree surgery in the real world. I have complete confidence that any staff I send to Hi-Line Training courses come back to the team having not only gained their certification but also having been taught many other useful techniques that help them add value to the team straight away.”
Dave Atkinson, Atkinson Tree Services

“AC have been using Hi-Line Training for several years now and the reason for this is their professionalism and knowledge of the industry. From admin right through to the training/assessment, Hi-Line Training provides a level of service not seen elsewhere. AC has been using Hi-Line Training for first aid and utility arb training and have seen many of our employees visit their training centre in Exeter.”
Les Saunders, AC Landscapes & Treeworks UK Ltd

“We also value the fact that Hi-Line Training will fail staff when they are not up to standard in assessments – meaning we can trust the qualifications we gain from them. All of this combined with Kirsty’s super organisational skill and knowledge and the fact that they are lovely people means that Hi-Line Training will always be our first choice for training.”
Jenny Long, Director, Chapel Tree Services
