"HB Projects training and development plan for 2009 involves all our site operatives undertaking plant training, via the CPCS route, for forward tipping dumper, forklift truck, ride on roller and telescopic handler...

...Birkwood Plant have been involved with the initial planning and are now in the process of delivering our plant training. We have found the whole team at Birkwood to be very helpful, from administration to delivery of the course. As the Training Co-ordinator, they have explained the changes of the CPCS/NVQ route and assisted with the administration of funding currently available to us. Our Site Operatives have found the trainers to be approachable and provide positive and easy to understand assistance to allow them to undertake the theory test with confidence."
