People Development Academy

We have been registered as a LANTRA training provider since 2002. In 2016, we opened an entirely self-funded assessment centre called the People Development Academy to accommodate the training needs of our people, our supply chain and our clients.

This training hub is home to our team of LANTRA approved trainers, assessors and verifiers who proudly deliver comprehensive qualifications to hundreds of candidates every year.

Why we introduced the People Development Academy

We want each of our employees to have the opportunity to achieve their personal best, whatever that looks like for them. The People Development Academy ensures our people receive regular training to help them thrive in their roles and stay at the top of their game. We work closely with our staff to develop personalised career progression plans that are designed to help them reach their full potential.

Our People Development Academy is advantageous for our clients too as it ensures their projects are carried out by competent, capable experts that possess exactly what it takes to deliver the very highest of standards.

Our instructors

One of things that makes our People Development Academy so successful is the real-world experience and expertise of our instructors.

Each of our trainers has over 15-years of traffic management experience which adds essential, real world insight of practical applications to the theory.

Apprenticeships and Traineeships

The Academy allows us to offer comprehensive apprenticeships and traineeships which are a crucial part of our succession planning, and strategy for combatting the industry skills shortage.

People Development Academy
Our apprenticeships and traineeships are open to all but are particularly aimed at underrepresented groups in the community such as those who are NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) and not from a construction background. We provide a structured training plan, personalised to everyone, and a vital step up into a skilled profession with the promise of further development.
