I have completed several courses with SAMS Ltd, which is my primary choice for any Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Chloe has been exceptionally efficient, supportive, and professional in all my interactions regarding the courses and their requirements. As for teaching, Clint stands out as one of the finest instructors I have encountered in my educational journey. His attention to detail is remarkable, making the SMSTS course both enjoyable and comprehensible, ultimately leading to my desired results. Overall, my experience with SAMS Ltd has been that they are affordable, professional, and friendly. If you are attentive, they will equip you with the necessary tools for success, as evidenced by my outstanding results so far. Looking forward to more in the near future. Thank you.

I completed the SMSTS course with Safety & Management Solutions Ltd in July 2025 and had a fantastic experience. The course was very well organised, informative, and up-to-date. A special thanks to Clint who was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. The materials provided were clear, and the overall learning environment was professional and supportive.
I would highly recommend this course and training provider to anyone in, or entering a management role in construction.

Fantastic training course. Best course I've done and Lee was a big part of that. He delivered the course in a really informative and personable way - there was always time to ask questions and work through topics in a detailed and knowledgeable way. Top stuff. Thanks!

As someone who struggles with using computers found Lee & Chloe to go the extra mile for me. All training will for sure be with SAMS. I wasn't actually able to pay the course upfront so Lee offered a manageable weekly payment amount for me. Thank you so much!!

I was apprehensive about doing an online course but it turned out a lot better than I thought it would. Lee (who took our training) was very good and easy to get on with and explained everything perfectly. 10 out of 10

Clint was a fantastic teacher! He was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all questions from delegates on the SSSTS course. He highlighted key information for all delegates as he understood that we all come from different backgrounds. Sam’s provided all documentation needed for future reference. They were flexible and understanding when I had a major sickness and I was able to rebook easily and without hassle or rebook fees. Great training provider with small class sizes, much better than several other large training providers I have gone through previously (as well as worked for). Would recommend for future!

I just felt the need to write to you in response to completing the SMSTS course yesterday.

The course contents were absolutely fantastic and I found it easy to follow and easy to understand, the way Don delivered the course and kept us all engaged which being online staring at a screen is not an easy thing to do!

Drawing from his own experiences In the industry was a very clever tool to utilise to help us all understand the seriousness of the undertaking we are all about to engage in.

A big thank you to all those involved at SAMS in developing this course, 5 star review and congratulations to all.

excellent, appropriately concise course. Clint, the tutor, was exceptionally knowledgable, at no point did it feel like he was reading from a book

Totally recommend SAMS Safety & Management Solutions. Took the SMSTS course conducted by Lee and it was a fantastic experience. Learning was made fun and interactive. There was a great balance between in-class learning and home assignments. The instructor made sure that we are prepared to do our jobs on site.
Just brilliant.

I just completed and passed my SMSTS course with LEE. It was a small intimate group which worked very well for me and allowed great interaction. Lee was a great course instructor making the course very informative and enjoyable with a mixture of group activities, information through powerpoint, videos and stories.
Everyone in the course passed with flying colours which is testimony to the instructor. Would 100% recommend and have already to the rest of my company.
