Connect Training Services

Training and assessment for construction and engineering from Hartlepool

Connect Training Services is a training and assessment provider aimed at the construction and engineering sectors. The company presents itself as a leading provider in the North East of England and works both with organisations that need to cover a complete training plan and with individual professionals who want to start or complete their qualification.

Its headquarters are at TEC House, Lynn Street, Hartlepool, and its activity extends to clients throughout the UK, partly thanks to the online format.

Courses and qualifications

The catalogue combines in-person and distance learning. Among the featured options are the SMSTS, SSSTS and EUSR Water Hygiene courses, which the company delivers online so that students can train from their office or home without travelling.

The offer is organised into several blocks:

• General training courses and scheduled upcoming courses.
• NVQs, including qualifications such as the Level 6 NVQ in Health and Safety Practice.
• Training and processing of CSCS and CPCS cards, with colour variants: CSCS Red, Blue, Black and Gold, and CPCS Red and Blue.
• Application for obtaining the CSCS card.

The company also offers advice to employers on training responsibility and on how to structure their staff training.

Working method and adaptation to the client

Connect Training Services approaches each programme flexibly. Its team adapts the content to the specific needs of each organisation and to the learning requirements of attendees, with the aim that what is learned can be easily transferred to the workplace.

The company states that it can serve both large national organisations that need to review their entire training matrix and individuals starting their journey towards an NVQ. To do this, it has a sales and client relations team that studies each case.

Team experience and accreditations

The team has over 50 years of experience in the training sector and has worked with some of the country's largest companies to meet their training needs. The company states that it operates with approved accreditations, an aspect it highlights in its presentation.

Pricing and payment methods

The company maintains that access to quality training should not be prohibitively expensive and notes that it regularly reviews its rates to keep its courses and accreditations among the most competitive on the market, according to its own comparison. It also offers flexible payment plans to spread the cost of training.

Client reviews

Among the testimonials collected, one client highlights the speed with which the company organised first aid training and how well it was received by attendees, at a competitive cost. Another client confirms having successfully completed the Level 6 NVQ in Health and Safety Practice and values the support received from staff during the course.

Contact and outreach activity

The company handles enquiries by phone and email, and has a form to request a quote indicating the courses of interest, the size of the workforce and the number of employees who need training. On its website it maintains a blog with content on health and safety at work and on CSCS industry accreditation.
