Locations

Training can be carried out at our centre in Fife. If criteria can be met, training can also be delivered at your own site.

Course Duration

Candidates with relevant experience can be tested and we can deliver up to 4 tests (test only) in 1 day.

The training duration is dependent on the number of candidates, and each candidates previous experience.  Generally a novice candidate would require 5 days training on the Suction Excavator (based on 3 candidates with little to no experience). However this can be significantly reduced with relevant experience. Please get in touch to discuss how many candidates you have who require this training and their current level of experience so that we can determine how many days are required.

Certification

Our construction plant courses can be delivered with either NPORS or our own in-house accreditation. On successful completion of the course candidates will therefore receive certification per their preference. For further information on these schemes, please click here.

Funding
