We are often asked "what equipment do I need to undertake training or workshops", the reasoning and criteria behind equipment selection is fully discussed during the Twinset Fundamentals course. So before committing money on new kit, we offer the option of hiring any additional equipment you might need, infact typically you'll have the opportunity to try different specialist equipment as part of the course - the worst thing you can do is blindly invest in the wrong equipment and this option allows an informed choice and the purchase of kit that you know will work for you.
