Training is a one of our core strengths and most sought after services. Our staff have in-depth product knowledge and years of field experience across many industry sectors - they can provide up to date guidance on the issues of CE and UKCA marking which are important to your business. We offer a core range of scheduled training courses, but we can also provide tailored training to suit your needs at all levels of expertise, from basic introductions to CE and UKCA marking through to niche product specialisations.
Scheduled Courses 2022
We run a series of scheduled or 'open' courses throughout the year covering popular subject matter relating to CE and UKCA marking. Places on these courses can be booked on our online shop. We strongly recommend that trainees attend one of our Introduction to CE and UKCA marking courses as a prerequisite to the other scheduled training courses offered. These courses are either held online or at our office in Great Hucklow.

Other courses
The following courses are not scheduled but may be arranged by anyone with a specific requirement or interest in the specialist subject area. The minimum number of attendees required to run a course is 3 persons. These courses are recommended for those with a basic understanding of CE and UKCA marking. If your trainees require some basic training in this area, please make us aware as we can tailor these courses to fit your requirements.
Tailored Training
We also run tailored training courses, either on-site or at our offices, for companies requiring a bespoke approach to training and CE and/or UKCA mark induction. Courses can be designed to your specific products and CE/UKCA marking needs.
Tailored Training is geared specifically to your requirements - we talk to you and take a brief of your needs and then submit training proposals based on those needs. We base tailored training around a series of 'modules', which we have found to be almost universal amongst those companies we provide training to. But of course even the modules can be amended or altered to suit any specifics you require.
