- Built to be evidenced at your normal place of work, on real jobs — not through classroom exercises.

- Everything is recorded in a portfolio you keep.
- Written and delivered by people who have done the job.
What you end up with
- A complete portfolio of evidence drawn from your own work

- No classroom time, and no fixed end date
- A clear record of what you can do, ready for the day it needs to be assessed formally
Before you ask
Questions we get a lot
Where does the training happen?
The learning is online, worked through at your own pace. The practice is your own work — this is built around real jobs rather than classroom exercises.
How long does it take?
There is no fixed end date. It depends how quickly you work through the modules, and most people fit it around live jobs.
Do I have to attend anything?
One day on site. Everything else is online, before you attend.
Who writes the training?
People who have done the job. Every module is written for lifts and escalators specifically — not general engineering with a lift example added.
Can I do this as a team?
Yes. Tell us roughly how many people and when, and we will come back the same working day.
