IVR (Institute Of Vehicle Recovery)
Roadside & Recovery Training
My name is Matt (owner/Trainer of Exceed Safety) I have been in the Roadside/Recovery industry for over 15 years with consistent hands on experience as well as being an industry trainer for many years and previously being General manager of a Recovery Company.
I am now an independent trainer with no ties to any specific company,
Delivering IVR training for over 6 years, I pass my knowledge and experience of Health & Safety, training and compliance requirements, as well as many years hands on technical experience to others through informative and engaging training courses.
New and highly experienced people are all welcome on any course and even the most experienced people often comment on how much they learn from the courses.
I deliver the IVR courses required to become an approved Roadside & Recovery Technician as per HSE, NHSS17, PAS 43 and other compliance requirements

We can come to you anywhere in the UK
We also hold regular courses at west midlands venues which are available for anyone to attend - Please contact for dates & availability.
Courses delivered at your premises means you avoid extra travel and accommodation costs and allows the trainee to be trained on the equipment they will be using in their daily work,
avoiding the need for further familiarisation training.
A quiet room, outside area and recovery/service vehicle will need to be available,
Nothing fancy needed, just safe & quiet areas for training to take place and a suitable vehicle, we take care of the rest.
We understand it can sometimes be a challenge to have the space and allow for the downtime of employee's, If you get in touch we can work with you to make arrangements which help you complete the training with as little disruption to your business as possible.
