Courtley Health and Safety

A construction firm looking to tick multiple training boxes without juggling a dozen providers will find Courtley Health and Safety worth investigating. This is a UK health and safety training and consultancy outfit with over 30 years of trading behind it, and its listing in this business directory reflects a company that has settled into a specific lane: building site certification, combined with advisory work that carries on after the last course is done. The catalogue is not the widest in the industry, but it covers what a typical contractor needs.

CITB training schemes and certifications

The training side centres on the CITB family of schemes. Courtley Health and Safety runs the Site Management Safety Training Scheme and the Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme, the two cards most site managers and supervisors will be required to hold. The broader CITB Site Safety Plus range is also listed, along with a Health and Safety Awareness course that sits at the entry level. PASMA certification for mobile elevated work platforms is there, Confined Space and Rescue Training handles the higher-risk jobs, and First Aid appears in both standard and Mental Health First Aid forms.

Specialist courses beyond the core schemes

The mental health strand is worth mentioning because many providers still treat it as an afterthought; Courtley Health and Safety lists it as its own distinct course. Face Fit Testing rounds out the practical side for anyone working around dust or fumes, and Courtley Health and Safety also runs proprietary Courtley Certified programs, developed in-house for areas where the standard schemes leave a gap.

Advisory and consultancy services offered

The advisory services are where Courtley Health and Safety arguably does more of its day-to-day work than the training headline implies. A client can bring in Courtley Health and Safety for risk assessments, COSHH evaluations, and accident investigation, which covers the three areas that smaller firms most often handle badly or skip entirely. Safety policy and procedure writing is on the list too, and documentation is exactly what tends to come apart during an HSE audit or a civil claim after an incident. Courtley Health and Safety also offers site, factory, and office inspections, full safety management audits, and telephone support for the questions that arise between scheduled visits.

Behind the telephone support line

That telephone support line is the detail worth paying attention to. Most consultancies charge per visit or per project. A standing telephone support arrangement changes the relationship into something closer to a retained advisor, and Courtley Health and Safety lists it as part of the offer. Whether that is included in a package or billed separately is not spelled out on the page, but the fact it is named at all points to a company that has clients coming back with problems mid-contract, and that is generally a good sign.

A contractor that needs both trained staff and compliant paperwork could plausibly cover most of that through Courtley Health and Safety alone. That is the practical case for the listing: not variety for its own sake, but coherence between what the courses deliver and what the consultancy can support afterward.

Checking accreditation across booking platforms

Course booking goes through a separate platform at courtley.courseco.co.uk and not through the main Courtley Health and Safety website. This is common enough in the training sector and not a problem in itself, but anyone comparing available dates across providers will be switching between two sites. The CITB accreditations carry their own external verification, since those schemes are nationally recognised, so a buyer is not dependent solely on Courtley Health and Safety's own claims for the core courses. The proprietary Courtley Certified programs are harder to assess from the outside because no independent benchmark exists for them the way it does for SMSTS or PASMA. Courtley Health and Safety also appears on Envico, a UK marketplace for health and safety training, adding a second booking channel and some market-level exposure.

Office locations across the UK

The contact and location information on the Courtley Health and Safety page is clear. A head office in Knowsley and a second office in Croydon are both listed, with a phone number and email alongside each. Two operational locations spread across the north west and the London area point to a company with real geographic reach.

Is there evidence from past clients?

Outside opinion is harder to find. A Yelp listing for Courtley Health and Safety exists but carries no rating or review count. A Facebook presence is active under a consulting agency category. Approved Business lists Courtley Health and Safety as well, but again no numeric rating or tally of client reviews turned up. For a company in its fourth decade, the absence of any public review record is the one thing that sits awkwardly. The CITB accreditation and the two office locations are concrete, and a firm that has kept running for 30-plus years in this sector has clearly retained clients. But anyone who wants to read what past clients thought of the training delivery, or how an audit engagement went, will not find that online. The evidence available argues for competence; the missing piece is independent corroboration of it.
