Our courses can be tailored to meet individual requirements and timed to fit in with the workload of the business. We provide professional training and guidance gained from years of experience in the industry. Our aim is to provide cost effective training at local easily accessible venues, running courses on-site when appropriate. The Instructors we use are professional, well established, highly skilled and trusted within the industry for their own expertise.

Over the years we have developed many partnerships and continue to work closely with HSE, NPTC, NRoSO, AITT and BASIS to name but a few. So you can be sure that whatever the current legislation or assurance scheme expects we are able to deliver the relevant training.

From April 2022, The Training Association WEST merged with Ely & District Training Group, so are now offering training across Ely and the surrounding areas. Former members of EDTG now fall within the TTAW umbrella.

    Training with Steve Bruce

    Steve has taken my staff through Crane & Counter Balance Training this week. It has been an absolute pleasure working with him. My staff have all enjoyed their courses, commenting how Steve put them at ease, was really informative & improved their technical skills. As the company owner, I found Steve very easy to work with, we are a small site & we worked really well together being able to maintain production whilst fitting in everyone’s training needs. I cannot recommend Steve highly enough, it was a pleasure having him here on our site.
