At Gallowglass, a key aspect of our training is ensuring that each member of our crew feels prepared. All training, from their initial in-house training to the event specific health and safety training is important so that they, we and our clients are confident that they have the required skills to take on any job and achieve the desired result.

By participating in the wide variety of courses offered by Gallowglass Crewing, crew enhance their on-site skills.
