Courses can vary from 1 day to a number of days spread over a number of weeks. All requests can be supported so please just ask!

Modules can be retaken and recommendations can/will be made if further training is required. NVQs are available for experienced engineers and are recognised by the Construction Skills Awarding Body. All other courses will help prepare fitters to gain experience and in turn could lead to an NVQ. If you are interested in the training courses that we offer, please contact us today, we will be more than happy to help!
