Two ways to train in Berwick
On your site
Our instructor comes to you
For Berwick employers, on-site training is usually the better choice: no travel, and every operator trained on the machine and in the space they use day to day.
Before we come out, check you have the equipment the course covers, an area set aside with racking and bulk stacking to train in, and a quiet space for the theory. We can talk you through any of it.
At our centre
Purfleet training centre
Scheduled courses run at our three RTITB accredited centres through the year, and each centre's accreditation certificate is published on the course pages. Our Chatham training centre also runs courses, if its dates suit you better.
