About VMT
VMT was formed out of the desire to promote and develop skills, in an ever increasingly regulated industry. Clients demands in terms of obtaining competency, complying with legislation and demonstrating best practice can seem like a minefield.
These requirements and the growing expectation within the Industry is however a positive step. It is our job at VMT to enable customers navigate this maze of seemingly endless requirements and help them “see the wood for the trees!”
