Construction industry training specialist Whitewaters Training Ltd has opened a new training centre in Blackpool. The centre offers top quality training and qualification assessment to individuals and companies working in the construction industries.
Whitewaters Training expects to employ up to 10 full and part-time instructors, assessors and admin staff at the site which opened for business on the 10th June.
The new training centre at Preese Hall Farm, Weeton near Backpool is the result of a £60,000 investment by Essex-based Whitewaters Training, and is fully equipped with the latest construction plant.
The company offers a wide range of courses in construction operations and safety, and qualifications such as NVQs in support of the Site Safety Plus scheme (SSP) and Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS).
John Waters, director at Whitewaters Training, said; “We’ve seen a steady increase in demand for our courses over the last 15 months, particularly from businesses in the North West. The construction industry is showing clear signs that it is re-emerging from the recession, and there is already a growing demand for trained operators and qualified site managers and supervisors.
Our new site in Blackpool will help us deliver top quality training and assessment in the region. It also adds some new capabilities and effectively doubles the company’s training capacity.”
Whitewaters Training will be welcoming the first students to its new site this week on the A40 Slinger/Signaler CPCS course, and the company has already started taking bookings for its full portfolio of CPCS, NVQ, Site Safety Plus and specialist construction training courses. Bookings can be made online or by calling 01277 899 815 and course information can be found at www.whitewaterstraining.co.uk
