As many construction businesses experience more flexibility in December and January, this period becomes an ideal window to complete training that may have been difficult to schedule throughout the year. Whether you need essential construction refresher training, short construction courses, or CITB funded training, winter is the perfect time to get ahead.
At Workforce Skills Support, we deliver all short courses directly onsite, helping you minimise downtime while ensuring your workforce stays safe, compliant and ready for the year ahead through high-quality onsite safety training.
During peak months, it can be challenging to release staff for training. Winter offers an opportunity to get ahead of expiry dates, construction compliance courses, compliance requirements and upcoming project needs.
Key benefits of winter training:
From Abrasive Wheels to Working at Height, CAT & Genny, Fire Safety, Confined Spaces, Manual Handling and more — we offer a full range of onsite short construction courses and construction compliance courses.
