Reach your full potential!

VMT was formed out of the desire to promote and develop skills, in an ever increasingly regulated industry. Client’s demands in terms of obtaining competency, complying with legislation and demonstrating best practice can seem like a minefield.  While these requirements and the growing expectation within the Industry is a positive step towards ensuring the high standards that we need within the profession, it can seem like a minefield. 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!”

To achieve this VMT have adopted real world training solutions, tailored wherever possible to represent our customers working environment and requirements. The accrediting bodies selected are chosen for their real world presence and influence.

The training facilities and resources, combining classroom, workshop and outdoor work environments represent some of the best available within Northamptonshire. Our Islip Training Centre, just outside Thrapston, houses our main classroom and landscape based learning as well as a fully equipped workshop for Chainsaw Maintenance and Cross Cutting. Access to tree stock is key and our Boughton Estate workshop has access to a plentiful supply along with suitable tracks and trails for ATV and 4×4 training.

Our instructors are chosen for their real life experience and ability to engage and develop our learners. They have all worked in their chosen field for an extensive length of time and are assessed regularly by their accrediting bodies for their teaching and assessment.

Whilst newcomers to the industry will need training and support to develop through the profession, we firmly believe that training is not just for novices and encourage our attendees to remain on top of current best practice by attending refreshers. As HSE guidance changes it is both the employers and individuals responsibility to be aware of the guidance/requirements and developments in technology and technique to make us more efficient and safe as well as ensuring that you are adequately insured while you are working.

We offer a range of training management services from ad hoc training or full development plans for individuals to larger scale, planned training programs for large companies. To find out how we can help you, just get in touch.
