Kelston Sparkes set up its training school in 2002 to provide training and continuous professional development to internal employees. Due to demand, courses were offered to external candidates and the training school has since grown to become a leading accredited training provider for CPCS, and also an Approved Training Organisation, facilitating grants for CITB registered companies.
From our purpose-built facility near Bristol, the company is a main provider of training and associated health and safety courses for many construction companies offering training programmes to suit all needs. Whether individual or group tuition, on or off-site our team can also develop bespoke courses for customers specific requirements.
Courses include:
- NVQ Level 2 in plant operations
- Mobile Plant Theory and Practical Training Courses for Novices and Competent Operators
- CPCS Theory and Practical Tests
- CITB Health, safety and Environment Tests
