PASMA

PASMA are committed to the highest standards of practice and operate the industry standard training scheme which trains thousands of delegates each year through a select network of approved training centres.

All PASMA training centres are audited annually to ensure that they continue to meet the stringent standard set by us. In addition to the renowned Towers for Users course, the association also delivers a range of specialist courses.

These courses enjoy an enviable reputation amongst management and health and safety practitioners, who seek objective proof of competence for staff engaged in the assembly, use, inspection and dismantling of towers.
