  I came here for my STCW 5 day training course and had a great time. Every single member of staff I interacted with has been incredibly friendly and helpful. The facilities and equipment here are all top notch and the trainers all have expert level knowledge in their subject matter. I had training from Matt Baxter and Henry Howes, these guys make the course consistently fun and engaging. You’re in safe hands at MRS Southampton.

  Completed my STCW course with the MRS team this week. Had some challenges with claustrophobia during the survival suit and fire exercise drills, but the team was highly accommodating and professional. Mikey, Matt, and Rich were excellent throughout. Would recommend Southampton MRS Training & Rescue Centre for anyone pursuing their qualifications.

  I have recently completed my five-day Safety training with MRS in Southampton, and I can honestly say these guys are on top of their game. Matt, Rich and Charlie are brilliant at their ‘crafts’ plus, they are easy to speak to, professional and their friendly nature make the training so fun and enjoyable. The reception team are also very helpful. Absolutely enjoyed it.
  
  I would recommend MRS without hesitation! Thank you all!

  This is a team of rescue workers who also teach safety/survival courses. They bring a level of practical understanding I've not seen in other courses I have done. They maintain high standards of teaching and professionalism. I would recommend.

  I had medium risk Confined Space Training with trainer Mike and it was fantastic. Mike is a well trained, knowledgable and hands on teacher and makes you feel right at home. You could ask any question and he treated everyone with the greatest of care and respect. The quality of the MRS training facility is at a really high standard. Safety is major priority. The course theory work is related to the practicle. I would recommend MRS as an awesome place to train your staff. They even provided lunch and free drinks. MRS Training and Rescue is a Professional, High Quality Business an I would highly recommend them to any Company.

  Been on plenty of STCW courses over the years. This Southampton location is fit to lead the industry, really surprised that MRS STCW had never been talked about in my maritime circles. Great course, great teachers. Would highly recommend.

  Just finished the STCW with MRS and genuinely couldn't recommend them highly enough. Concise and fun teaching, all practical aspects of the course were incredibly well thought through and safe. Matt as the lead instructor for the week was second to none - couldn't thank him enough. Charlie, who came in on the Friday to teach the first aid section of the course was also great. Thanks for everything guys!

  Completed my STCW with Matt and Charlie - both brilliant trainers. Made the week fun and engaging. MRS facilities were top notch and they even provided lunch daily!

  I attended the SCTW course, 5 days covering 5 different subjects. The booking process was straight forward and easy to complete, but book early the courses go quickly, (a sigh of how well they are run I think).
  We had 3 main instructors, all very knowledgeable, helpful, approachable and put the information across at a very good speed.
  The course is a mixture of theory and practical which enables you to 'hang' the theory on to something so enforcing your knowledge.
  The environment, is clean, tidy and projects the professionalism of MRS. Good canteen area. A light lunch was provided, which was very tasty, with some good chooses and fresh. Hot drinks were free which is very good.
  My only observation is that there could be some concise handouts, say bullet points, with space to put your own notes , especially for the fire fighting, as there is so much information to take in. As an instructor myself I know the benefits, and limitations, of this, but this subject defiantly would benefit from this.
  Thank you to all the team, who were all very friendly and approachable.

  Managing confined spaces refresher course, a very good course, covered everything we needed in a good paced refresher, instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions or queries, took time to explain anything anyone was not sure on or struggling to understand etc.

• Islay RD

  

  Average rating: November 19, 2023

  I recently undertook an STCW course at this training centre the only thing better than the content were the tutors. Everyone at MRS really wants to see you pass and to help you get the best out of yourself during the course. Not only did the swimming pool that the centre usually use cancel due to an accidental double booking but some equipment we were meant to be training with was stolen the morning of one of the exams. MRS staff dealt with this swiftly and effectively by changing the pool and going to buy new equipment on the same day it was stolen to ensure we as the students still got the most out of the course. The pace of content is rapid due to the condensed course but there seemed to always be space to ask questions and make sure each of us understood the principles we were being taught. I couldn't recommend anywhere else in the UK that I would have had as much fun learning.

  Even tho the trainer run through the course thoroughly and quickly the course was longer than promoted by over an hour. Lunch was included in the price but I advise you to bring your own or some money as they only offer you £4 credit from the sandwich van. During the practical session trainers need to consider the trainees health which they didn’t on the occasion we conducted the course as most of the trainees felt like they where going to pass out due to combination of the temperature of the the pool atmosphere and the PPE making all feel uncomfortable and claustrophobic

  I took an STCW course at this MCA accredited training center. This course qualified me to go and work on a cruise ship. This course is around half the price of other accredited providers. (I paid £549 as opposed to a quoted alternative of £999). My employer paid for this course for me. Their admin team managed this process, and copied me into all of the correspondence. Lunch was provided, teachers enthusiastic and experienced, I would take further courses here.

  Would highly recommend MRS Training. Recently attended STCW Personal Survival Techniques (PST) Course. I was very impressed with the high level of Instruction being taught things i never learnt on previous courses with other companies. Professional instructors in a relaxed environment. Was made to feel relaxed with some worries I had and given some one on one tutorial which is above and beyond anything expected.

  I attended MRS Training & Rescue in January for a Medium Risk Confined Space Training Course. The course was delivered over 2 days with a good mix of practical and theory. the trainers Charlie & Phil were absolutely great at delivering the course content. the trainer kept the myself and the other delegates engaged throughout. The classroom was set up fine for learning, The warehouse area was very well set up for the practical learning and assessment. All Mechanical & Critical PPE Equipment used during the training was all calibrated and in good working order and we were able to simulate works that would be carried out in the field including the important emergency drills. The welfare facilities were of a good standard, clean and tidy rest break area with Tea & Coffee provided and snack vending machines. food Van arrived at Midday. Free Wi-Fi was also available. The training provider also offers many other courses too and they also also have mobile rigs to carry out training onsite too.
  I would definitely recommend this training provider and I would be happy to attend future courses here.
  I was pleased to have passed both the practical and written assessments. 10/10 for the facility, 10/10 for the trainers/assessors, 10/10 for the well put together training package.

  I cant speak highly enough of MRS Training & Rescue. They were recommended to us following some work they did for a mutual NHS client and i'm very glad we found them. The customer service and support provided was brilliant and refreshing, nothing was too much for them. MRS assisted us with a tricky confined space entry in a fully operation hospital. They easily and professionally adapted to our specialist asbestos removal program and the other associated risks this came with. They also provided urgent training to some of our sub-contractors whom again, spoke very highly.
  I would have no hesitation in recommending MRS Training & Rescue.
