Course Materials: MATS / Arqiva
The Mast and Tower Safety Group is in the process of creating a framework training syllabus for the UK telecoms industry. Providers are accredited by Energy & Utility Skills, but neither body provides any delivery materials or sample content to work from. UVSAR has been producing top-quality course materials for work at height, RF safety and rescue courses for over a decade, including for the Arqiva syllabus framework that preceded MATS as the de-facto qualification for UK telecoms workers. All our materials have been audited and approved.
| Syllabus | Status |
|---|---|
| Basic Tower Climbing & Rescue | Available now |
| Roof Worker | Available now |
| RF Safety Awareness | Arqiva-approved content only* |
* MATS / EUSkills has not yet adopted RF training into their scheme. Until that happens, trainers usually deliver content approved under the Arqiva SHE-GH-031 specification, which we can supply to companies on the Arqiva SHE-GH-021 list of Accepted Providers.

Please contact us for more information or to place an order.
Materials are supplied in a clean OEM format with no brand bias, as shown in the images on this webpage. We use fully-licensed imagery throughout, with no third-party logos or product names visible. Materials can be branded with your corporate logos.
Restrictions
To deliver MATS training, the provider must be audited by Energy & Utility Skills. This includes assessment of facilities, equipment, instructor competencies and quality management systems. While we are confident that our course packages satisfy every requirement of the MATS syllabus specification, we cannot and do not guarantee that a training provider will be accredited, nor can we intervene in the auditing process. These course materials are only sold to training providers who have been EUSR accredited, or are in the process of applying for accreditation. Similar materials without MATS-specific content are available for providers who wish to offer courses in these subject areas without accreditation - please contact us for more information.
What do I get?
- A Course Delivery Pack containing logo-branded FXL EPUB classroom slides, PDF instructor notes, practical scenario guidance, example exam questions and auditor cross-references.
- Free use of the branded EPUBVIEW slide presenter platform for three years (a subscription service thereafter).
- A perpetual non-transferrable license to use the materials as-supplied for delivery of the named syllabus, to unlimited students anywhere in the world. You can make as many copies of the CDP as required for your instructing staff, but cannot give copies of slide decks or instructor notes to delegates, resell/syndicate the materials or publish them online.
- Access to order the corresponding printed student handbooks.
- Free updates for three years to account for changes in legislation or standards (extended service plans available).
FXL EPUB? Whatnow?
Consistent design and content is vital for training course delivery. Auditors and insurers need to know that a delegate was shown exactly the same information as everyone else, so slide decks that can be freely edited by instructors, deleting things they don't like or adding images stolen from the Web, are simply not acceptable in a professional environment. There are only a few ways to distribute rich-content slide decks so they always look the same, on Windows, Mac or mobile, without having to manually install fonts or change screen sizes, and the most reliable and modern format is Fixed Layout (FXL) EPUB.

I want PowerPoints!
Our slide decks use technology that is not supported in PowerPoint or Apple Pages. We do not provide the editable masters for our OEM course handbooks or slide decks for obvious reasons; each document represents hundreds of hours of expert work and the content is only licensed for use as a finished document. By limiting our OEM materials to EPUB/PDF we can reduce prices, include graphics that cannot be licensed in editable formats, and take away the worries about how to keep everything updated and error-free.
OK, how much?
Course Delivery Packs are £450.00 per syllabus, plus VAT at standard rates. Discounts available if ordering more than one syllabus pack.
Our 8.5x11" full-colour student handbooks are produced on demand so you always get the latest version. Standard service has a typical 5-working-day lead time with next-day UK delivery. This is a UK-specific training program so we do not ship these titles to other countries. Handbook prices are typically £4.00 to £8.00 per copy plus shipping, zero UK VAT.
Accredited training providers can buy handbooks without ordering our Course Delivery Packs, but the two are designed to work together.
