Noise training - online workshops to full competency
The INVC is the major provider of noise competency training courses in the UK and Ireland and is the IOSH-approved organisation covering both noise and HAVS. We developed and run the public courses for IOSH and other organisations plus a wide range of customised in-house and online training versions for major companies worldwide.
We have also developed a range of specialised environmental noise training masterclass workshops at the request of Environment Agencies and Local Authorities (EHOs). We also develop and run joint noise control workshops in collaboration with the HSE.
