Stewarding
If you’ve ever been to a sporting event, concert, festival or any event with large crowds then you will have seen stewarding in action and will understand just how important this job is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the public.
Well trained, qualified Stewards are essential to any large-scale event and will be required in increasing numbers as we emerge from lockdown and more events are able to take place.
With this training you could be part of the action at Football, Rugby and Cricket grounds, concerts and festivals as well as the upcoming Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games!
