While our approach to construction training has undoubtedly undergone necessary changes in recent years, there remains one aspect of any trade training course that simply cannot be replaced.
The time spent in training centres, under the supervision of experienced teachers, will always be a vital period in the early career of any tradesperson.
While we’ve adapted a large portion of our courses to make them as accessible as possible through home study options, in-centre training is still at the forefront of everything we do at Able Skills. We firmly believe it’s by far the best, most efficient way to learn.
What makes in-centre training better?
In-centre training brings a long list of benefits that are simply impossible to replicate in any other learning environment.
Experienced tutors
Perhaps most importantly, is access to expert tutors. Every instructor at Able Skills has a huge amount of experience in their respective field, as tutors and time-served in their trade, meaning they’re in a position to offer priceless know-how and advice to any students who attend the training centre.
While those who are studying from home will of course also receive support from our tutors, the instant nature of being able to seek advice in person is always incredibly useful.
Training with your peers
Training alongside your peers can also have a huge benefit on your learning, as they regularly become an extra source of knowledge throughout your studies, and often serve as motivators that you would otherwise miss out on.
Excellent facilities
The chance to train in cutting-edge facilities built specifically to replicate the sort of appliances you’ll be working with when out in the field is another massive benefit of completing your learning in our centre.
Course completion dates
Similarly, physically attending these facilities is a great way to put you in the right frame of mind to learn without any distractions, and a set timescale and schedule means you’re more likely to finish the course.
Hands-on training
Finally, we all know the best way to learn is by doing. Given that construction is arguably the most hands-on career out there, it’s no big surprise that we’d recommend a similar approach to your training.
If you’d like to learn more about any of our trade courses or facilities, we’d love for you to visit us in the training centre. We’re open seven days a week, and there’s no need to book in advance, just pop in and one of our friendly team will be happy to chat.
