Construction Training Courses UK

IPAF, PASMA, health & safety and professional certifications. Keep your workforce qualified, compliant and safe. Nationwide training at our venues or your site.

Training That Keeps You Compliant

Fines for using unqualified operators run into tens of thousands. Our training courses keep your team certified, your sites compliant, and your business protected. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Work at Height Regulations 2005, employers have a legal duty to ensure that all personnel operating powered access equipment, mobile towers, and other construction plant hold the appropriate certification. Failure to comply can result in prosecution, substantial fines, and in the most serious cases, imprisonment. National Hire Solutions offers a comprehensive range of accredited construction training courses delivered by certified instructors at venues across the UK or directly on your site. From IPAF and PASMA certifications to CSCS card preparation, health and safety qualifications, and specialist courses such as abrasive wheels and asbestos awareness, we provide the training your workforce needs to stay safe, productive, and fully compliant with all current UK legislation. Our flexible scheduling means we can work around your project timelines, and our group booking discounts make it cost-effective to train your entire team.
