Modes of Training and Assessment. Duration and pricing of courses will vary depending on experience of the candidate, access to machinery and a suitable training area. We have the ability to source machinery and training area however this may incur an extra cost to the client.
We can provide a plant logbook for on-the-job training in which a minimum of 40 hours will need to be accrued and signed off by a supervisor before an Assessment can take place, alternatively if you already hold experience in a particular machine and just need to complete an Assessment only, we will need the candidate to provide relevant evidence of this experience i.e. (copy of resume, letter of support).
Group Training and Assessment options can also be arranged, please contact for details.
