Update Regarding Coronavirus Outbreak
Due to the ongoing coronavirus situation all face to face training is suspended at this time.
Some assessments may be able to be carried out depending on the circumstances.
We are able to offer training remotely via our online service, please get in contact with us about this.
We are able to do IRSE assessments remotely as long as the category does not require observation - see our IRSE page for more details. The IRSE is still able to process licences at this time so do still get in touch if you need your licence updating.
We are working remotely from our office, if you need to contact us please ring one of the following:

We are Paul and Pam Martin and we set up PM Training and Assessing in 2005 to provide assessor training to those in railway signalling.
We have expanded and we now provide all the Trainer, Assessor and IQA (TAQA) qualifications, as well as Professional Development Courses.
In 2009 we set up our IRSE Assessing Agency. We have completed over 2,000 IRSE assessments and have over 100 assessors across the UK.
In 2018, following the collapse of Carillion, Paul joined the business full time and we are now expanding into Signalling Training and Apprenticeships.
We pride ourselves on our quality of service and personal touch, so please do get in contact with us for more information about our services and courses and we will be happy to help.

We believe that everyone should be able to reach their full potential.
We aim to do this by working alongside others, to inspire, develop and to create an atmosphere of growth that will allow progression and innovation in the work that we do, with honesty and integrity being the foundation of our work and delivery.
