How training works
We mix clear theory with real-life case studies and group discussions. You’ll learn from experienced trainers who’ve managed live construction sites themselves. Training runs over several days and ends with a written assessment and practical exercises. We keep class sizes small so you can ask questions and get tailored support throughout.
