The QSS Group - Professional Training and Consultancy Services

Since its establishment in 1995, the QSS Group has significantly expanded its operational training and consultancy organisation into complimentary industries. These include transport, construction, local authorities, engineering, food production and building material manufacture.

The QSS Group recognise training as a vital part of any company, and we offer a wide range of courses that focus on providing up to date knowledge and the skills which enable people to perform their work effectively, efficiently and safely.

Our training services are founded on our extensive experience of developing safety, quality and environmental systems and processes, which are delivered through precise project management and created through innovative, focussed development programmes. These ensure that customers deliver their own quality products and services.
