Ashby-based training provider Elite Training Solutions (ETS) has been awarded an 'Outstanding' rating in an independent quality assurance audit 

Conducted by England Rugby, the audit focused on the delivery of Emergency First Aid in Rugby Union courses. ETS delivers these on behalf of the RFU (Rugby Football Union).

Elite has worked with the RFU for over six years, providing first aid training to grassroots clubs, universities across the Midlands, and more recently, to professional teams including Leicester Tigers.

 Tom Bennett, Director of Training at ETS, said: "This is a huge achievement for us as a business. 

"It gives us great pride to have our work recognised in this way. It reflects the core ethos of ETS — delivering high-quality training at all levels, in line with our mantra of 'delivering skills to save lives'."

ETS was founded in 2013 by Tom, who has over 15 years' experience working as a first aid training instructor and is a qualified Royal Lifesaving Society Trainer Assessor and Mentor.
