Frequently Asked Questions

With a combined 35+ year’s experience working as Site/Senior Engineers in an array of sectors along with our industry leading 2 trainer policy, Jimmy and Gavin are well placed to teach the next generation of engineers.

A lot of this will be determined by previous experience, being a competent Site Engineer involves both the skills that you will learn on our training alongside experience that you will gain in the workplace. What we will guarantee is that our training will accelerate your learning path and will give you the best foundations possible to succeed as a Site Engineer.

We use a method called continual assessment in which delegates continually demonstrate that they have understood the task at hand through a range of techniques including answering question, practical demonstrations and group activities. The course criteria and learning objectives are issued at the beginning of the week and referred back to at the end of each day.

Your achievements will be uploaded onto the construction training register upon successful completion. The 2 day levelling and taping, 3 day total station and 1 day robotic total station are all CITB recognised qualifications.

Our CITB assured Site Surveying and Setting Out training is 5 days long and this will cover the 2 day levelling and taping and 3 day total station training. The learning hours are 8am until 3pm. This allows those travelling a better opportunity of beating the traffic.

We operate on an industry leading 1 trainer to 6 delegate policy. This is unrivalled amongst any other training provider. This allows us to meet the core syllabus for the whole group as well as focusing on individuals that need additional time or equally those who are ready to excel.

We primarily use the robotic Leica TS16 with a CS20 controller as 77% of the construction industry uses this equipment. We can accommodate other equipment upon request of larger groups. All equipment we use is the latest technology used by Site Engineers.

Yes. We operate on a policy of 1 instrument between 2 people and we ensure everybody has equal opportunity to use the equipment.

Our course replicates the processes of a live construction environment. We process the information efficiently in the classroom which equates to approximately 30% classroom time and 70% practical.

Unfortunately, this is something that cannot be guaranteed. What we do have is a vast array of contacts that we have built up throughout our 35+ years in the industry that we will put those who excel in touch with and support once they leave our training.

Not necessarily. Experience in the construction industry is certainly advantageous but this course also caters for beginners as well as those with experience. We have a 2 trainer policy which enables one of our trainers to ensure that nobody gets left behind.

The training is based in Lutterworth which is a town in Leicestershire. The nearest train stations are Leicester City Centre and Rugby. Both have vast links across the country including London. There are buses available from the surrounding areas and the centre is a short walk from Lutterworth town centre.

No, however we do partner with a local hotel within walking distance from the venue who can offer full board where necessary
