Technical Training Solutions

History

Technical Training Solutions has its roots in 1980 at the EETPU training college at Cudham Hall in Sevenoaks. The union wanted their members to embrace the electronic technologies that were emerging and since government and academia seemed unable to meet the challenge a more radical solution was proposed: an engineering skills training college with a no-expenses-spared approach to training so that the delegates would learn useful, practical, up-to-the-minute skills and knowledge that would help them in their daily work.In recent years the training college took on its own identity (earned over the years), and became a separate business to the union - a private company with five partners continuing the tradition of providing no-nonsense engineering skills training aimed at blue-chip companies throughout the British Isles.

Advantages of studying here

We set out to teach top-quality engineering skills training courses and we have achieved this - we constantly strive to make them as good as it's possible to - but over the years we have also refined our methods, adding several enhancements to the construction stages of course description, design of the courses, assessment, certification and consolidation stages. We believe that these are important to our customers: it's easy to see what the courses consist of, what value they will gain from attending them and how they can apply their candidates' new knowledge and skills in their workplace in a structured, evidence-rich way.

Areas of specialisation

Our candidates don't have to listen to long lectures or be exposed to 'death by powerpoint'. Each subject is presented in its most straight-forward context so that candidates can explore the essential issues and engage with the learning experience intended. For example, if candidates are learning about isolating three-phase motors, we have specially-wound 40volt 3-phase motors custom-built for them so that they can connect the motor control gear and demonstrate that they can individually isolate the motors in a range of scenarios. This approach is made possible by constantly investing in real industrial equipment to help delivery of the courses and ensuring that each course has small numbers of candidates (typically a maximum of 8) attending it. With manageable groups of this size, our instructors are able to ensure that each candidate is learning in an effective and enjoyable manner.

Description

Technical Training Solutions provide a range of engineering skills training courses, including Electrical and Mechanical Maintenance Skills, PLC Maintenance, 17th Edition Wiring Regulations, AC Inverter Drives, Pneumatics, Hydraulics and others. With the emphasis on safety and a practical hands-on approach wherever possible, the courses provide useful skills in short, highly-focused training events. Consolidation schemes ensure that trainees get the opportunity to practice their new skills in the workplace.
