Comments From Our Customers

5 Stars

  • The course has exceeded expectations. I didn’t think I would come away with as much knowledge as I have. I came on the course with very little knowledge on setting out with only ever seeing it being done on site. I now understand what the engineers have been doing, and why.

    Steve – Trainee Site Manager

  • Starting on the Monday going through the course content was initially daunting but each day I felt confident in achieving the criteria set out with the clear guidance given from the tutors on how to conduct each task accurately and to industry standard.

    Nehal – Trainee Estimator

  • Both trainers, Gavin and Jimmy have been very helpful in every aspect. They have a good understanding and ability to teach in different ways in order to communicate to everyone.

    Craig – Groundworks Foreman

  • Excellent delivery of the 5 day CITB surveying and setting out course from Jim and Gav. Great course content with a solid mix of practical and theory work. Would highly recommend this course this course, I guarantee you will walk away with confidence and a good understanding of Site Engineering.

    Russ – Project Manager

  • Site Engineer Training is by far the best course I have ever attended. Value for money is a massive understatement. Jimmy and Gavin were absolutely awesome, explaining every detail and then handling the barrage of questions very patiently. They have set the bar very high in terms of course delivery and cannot wait to see how they develop courses in the future.

    Iqubal - Chartered Civil Engineer and Developer

  • The SET+ Course was everything I’d expected it to be, reinforcing what I already know and learning new skills and different methods in the way I operate day to day.

    Ryan – Site Foreman

  • The training was vey informative, I learned a lot and the site specific scenarios laid out for the practical and the AutoCAD was particularly helpful. The CAD exam was quote tricky but I soon was able to put together what I had learnt to get through I took a lot away from all the training which helped prepare me for the real life scenarios.
