Increase Your Employability With Health And Safety Training

With huge numbers of people out of work, finding worthwhile employment can be tough. That’s why it’s essential to do everything you can to increase your employability and give yourself an edge over other people applying for the same jobs. Health and Safety Training Ltd can help – we believe it is vital to ensure that more people have the skills, knowledge and qualifications to help them stand out above the rest.

That’s why we offer full government funding for Plant Operations NVQ Level 2 to unemployed people who are currently claiming benefits. We strive to give those people looking for a job the opportunity to get back into work by learning new skills, and gaining an industry recognised qualification that will benefit both them and their future employers.

Each learner gets to choose the truck they wish to train on, whether that’s the forklift truck, telescopic handler or mobile elevated work platform (scissors lift, boom lift or cherry picker). The dedicated team of instructors and assessors here at Health and Safety Training Ltd will teach them all the essential skills needed to operate and maintain the vehicle successfully, as well as covering other modules that will help them to become effective members of any workforce, such as Health and Safety awareness and effective communication in the workplace.

We have been providing fully funded Plant Operations NVQs to unemployed clients since November 2011 and during this time we have trained over 100 people. Since passing the course and gaining new skills, so far about 20% of these have managed to find full time employment using their new qualification, with many more still applying as jobs become available.

We have an ever growing demand for funded training courses, but are unfortunately restricted in the amount of places we can offer due to lack of funding from the government. Hopefully this year things will begin to improve, come April and the new financial year, but until then check back for any further updates and feel free to contact us regarding eligibility criteria and getting a place on a funded course.
