About Kentec Training

As a third-generation, family owned and operated business with roots dating back to 1978, Kentec Training is proud to deliver over 150+ premium safety training programmes that ensure companies, organisations and individuals remain competent, knowledgeable and safe. At Kentec, we endlessly strive to meet our commitment to excellence in everything we do - from training delegates to pushing forward the health & safety industry, and beyond.

Training You Can Trust!

    At Kentec Training, we are dedicated to delivering industry-leading training programmes including health & safety, work at height, plant & machinery, first aid, forklift training, and more. Our mission is to equip businesses and individuals across Kent, the South East, and the wider UK with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to work safely and effectively.

    We believe that high-quality training should go beyond simple compliance. It should create competent, confident operators who can apply their skills in real-world environments. That is why we focus on practical, hands-on learning, delivered in professional training facilities or on-site at your premises, ensuring every course provides lasting value.

    Our results speak for themselves, with an average 96% pass rate across all of our training courses. This reflects not only the quality of our instruction, but also our commitment to ensuring every delegate is fully prepared, supported, and set up for success from the moment they step into training.

Our Quality-Focused Approach

    We take pride in doing things differently. Where some providers focus on volume, we focus on quality. Every course we deliver is designed to engage, challenge, and genuinely develop each delegate’s skills and understanding.

    Our purpose-built facilities are a key part of the Kentec experience. Maintained to a high standard and equipped with our own industry-grade training equipment, they provide a safe, clean, and realistic environment for hands-on learning. We do not rely on hired equipment, ensuring consistency and quality across every course we deliver.

    With dedicated training centres in Kent and the ability to deliver on-site courses nationwide, we are ideally positioned to support businesses across Kent, Essex, Sussex, Surrey, and Greater London.

Our Commitment to Excellence

Trust & Integrity

Trust & Integrity

We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients based on trust. Our customers can rely on us to deliver on our promises, provide transparent communication, and act with integrity in all our dealings. We value long term partnerships and believe strong relationships are built through reliability, honesty and mutual respect.

Quality of Service

Quality of Service

We commit to providing a level of service that sets the benchmark in our industry. Whether it's the initial enquiry, the training experience, or post-course support, we strive to offer unparalleled service quality that will make a lasting impact. We take immense care in upholding the highest standards in everything we do.

Family & Legacy

Family & Legacy

As an award-winning third-generation family-run business, we understand the importance of legacy. What has been handed down to us is more than just a business, it is a responsibility and a burning passion to hold ourselves to exceptionally high standards, ensuring our reputation and values built over generations continue long into the future.

Setting the Safety Standard

    Kentec Training is not just a provider of accredited courses, we are actively involved in shaping them. We work closely with leading awarding bodies such as PASMA and The Ladder Association, contributing to the development and evolution of work at height training programmes used across England today.

    This means our courses always reflect the latest industry standards, legislation, and best practices. When you train with Kentec, you are learning from a provider that operates at the highest level of the industry, helping to define what good training looks like.

    Our Managing Director, Steve Booker, also plays a pivotal role in this mission. As an active member of the training committees for PASMA, IPAF, and the Ladder Association, Steve helps to set the direction of training across the industry, ensuring it remains relevant, rigorous, and effective. His work also extends to lobbying Parliament, championing legislative change to create safer working environments and stronger protections for those working at height and across the construction sector.

Built on Real Experience

    What truly sets Kentec apart is the depth of experience behind our instructors. Many of which are veterans of the armed forces, bringing a level of discipline, professionalism, and real-world insight that is rarely found in the training industry.

    Combined with our growing team of full-time, in-house instructors, we are able to maintain complete control over the quality and consistency of our training. Whether you attend one of our Kent training centres or require on-site training anywhere in the United Kingdom, you can expect the same high standards every time.
