GMS Training review
Ranked 4 of 10 in First aid training in Telford
Best for: small firms wanting on-site workplace first aid

Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire
GMS Training in short
GMS Training is a Shropshire first aid trainer led by Garry Seabrook, a former combat medical technician and ambulance first responder, offering workplace courses at local venues or on client premises. Three industry memberships sit behind the courses, and twenty years of instruction stands behind the trainer. If you want workplace training shaped around your own risks, GMS Training is set up for exactly that. The listing gives an Overdale base with a contact number.
Reviews of GMS Training are positive but few, with five stars on Google. No company record, insurance details or course prices are published, though the site offers a free consultation on requirements and costs. Our verdict: a strong small-firm pick on trainer background, with a public record that could say more.
Our verdict
Our judgement: GMS suits a Shropshire company that wants workplace training shaped around its own risks, from a trainer with ambulance and military medical experience [1]. Three industry memberships sit behind the courses [1]. The review set is small and company history, insurance and prices stay off the public record [1].
