| In
response to the UK Contractors Group’s (UKCG) recent
training standard, which now demands that all supervisors
working on their sites have recognised supervisory
qualifications, the National Construction College (NCC) has
launched two new training courses for supervisors. |
 |
|
The courses are designed for all
site managers – both experienced and those new to the role -
who have supervisory responsibilities. |
|
The Supervisors’ Safety Training
Scheme is a two-day programme which will give delegates an
understanding of how health and safety law is structured,
how to carry out risk assessments and method statements as
well as how to deliver site inductions, toolbox talks and
briefings. |
|
The Supervising Behavioural
Practice course, which has been developed in conjunction
with the Olympic Development Authority (ODA), consists of
three half-day modules which will teach learners to
recognise the personal skills that each member brings to a
team as well as identifying dynamics in the workforce and
how to bring out the best in your team. |
|
Andy Walder, Director of the
National Construction College, explained: “The construction
industry is continually evolving and the workforce needs to
keep in step with new legislation and requirements. As
Europe’s largest construction training provider, as well as
the training arm of ConstructionSkills, we are in a unique
position to be able to provide the first-class training that
will allow the UKCG’s projects to be completed on time and
to standard at the same time as strengthening the skills of
the workers.” |
|
The National Construction
College provides a range of training for the construction
industry, ranging from apprenticeships to management and
leadership courses. Places are available now on the site
supervisor courses and can be delivered either on site or at
one of the NCC’s 60 facilities across the UK. |
