Testimonials
We have worked with Paul at Amenity Training for over 10 years. Amenity Training are our “Go-To” company we use for all our staff spraying, health & safety and machinery training. We’ve carried out a wide range of spraying courses over the years including: PA1, PA2A, PA2AR, PA6A, PA6AW and PA9B. The reason we work with Amenity Training is not only do they provide excellent value for money, I have great confidence that our operatives are being trained to the very highest of standards, in an engaging and informative way. Paul and his team are extremely knowledgeable in both the theory and practical aspects of their training, which enables our staff to carry out their duties in a professional and confident manner. We would recommend Paul and the team, not only for their excellent sprayer training, but also their consultancy services within the Amenity Sector, which are second to none.

"Following recruitment of new staff members we needed a programme of intense training to conform with spraying legislation and our Red Tractor certification.
Paul was able to offer us PA1, PA2 and PA3 in rapid succession for various members of our farm team. They all achieved their certificates first time round, enabling our spraying season to progress smoothly and safely.
The PA3 was done on our own farm with our own equipment, so it was directly relevant and covered all aspects of the tasks we perform.
Many thanks to Paul for his detailed input and great results!"

'Paul has an obvious wealth of knowledge and experience in the field. The course material provided was relevant, no question that were asked felt too stupid. Any help or advice outside of the tutored hours was readily available. He was able to deliver a lot of information, in a detailed concise, focused, easy to follow, and efficient fashion. All in an upbeat and fun way. Paul seems to have the balance just right, a real skill in delivery, I would highly recommend.'

When you’re an oldie, going on a training course for boom spraying feels far more daunting then doing your 11 plus did and when any thoughts of grey hair seemed to be a million miles away!
But because I still think of myself as a Peter Pan, I decided to go on of one of Paul Bannister Amenity training courses, despite all my concerns about why on earth am I doing this at my ripe old age of 71. However, as soon as I arrived at the 2 day training course Paul wonderfully put me at ease and helped me feel like Peter Pan again.
The 2 day training course was put together in such a way that you felt that learning was fun. All the other guys on the course made absorbing all the information far easier than I thought it would be. Surprisingly, it all stayed in there too and which resulted in a pass and a 71 year old proved that his short-term memory still works just fine without vague spots as you might expect.
So, if you are worried about going on any of Paul courses, have no fear, they are fun, educational and designed to help you pass.

I would formally like to express my sincere thanks for arranging this course. Paul our instructor delivered the course and its contents in a very concise, professional and technical manner. The way the course was structured and each segment which was clearly explained helped us all to absorb all of the information. It was evident that not only did Paul fully understand and appreciate the whole subject matter but also had a wealth of practical experience and guided us thought the whole process which not only allowed us to all pass the PA1 and PA6 exams with flying colours but more importantly given us the confidence to apply pesticides safely and proficiently and more importantly within the law and to a consistent process / procedure.

Design of the Times
The PA1 and PA6AW courses run by Paul Bannister are delivered in a stimulating and interesting way making the learning process not only enjoyable but invaluable in terms of depth in which he goes into the subject. Paul knows his subject inside and out and has a wealth of knowledge and technical expertise and is extremely adept at conveying this to his students.
I cannot thank Paul enough for his support not only within the classroom but by offering me help with any queries I had out of hours. This gave me the confidence to take the Exams and successfully pass them.
“Having recently taken and passed my PAGR assessment for 051, and 053, I do not think I could have done so without the excellent training received from Paul Bannister - Amenity Training. No detail was overlooked and his record of success speaks for itself. It was also great fun!”
