Weare pleased to add The Royal Mint, Llantrisant; Lansing Linde, Merthyr Tydfil and CTS Training, Crosby, Liverpool to our client base.

Over a dozen candidates have now registered to update the old NVQ Level 4 in OHSP to the new NVQ Level 5 Diploma. More candidates are preparing to come on the conversion programme in January. We are happy to discuss this programme with anyone who feels it is of value to them.

Early in 2012 DTD Training will launch 2 programmes aimed at supporting our customers in improving their leadership and management as well as their auditing capabilities. Leadership and Management of Health & Safety, a 1 day programme for senior people in education and work based learning will commence in January at venues throughout the UK. Improving Health & Safety for Education and Work Based Learning is a 2 stage programme, commencing in February 2012.

We are pleased to continue our support of work based learning and education networks. Recent support for a dedicated Health & Safety Network covering the North West of England saw us deliver a presentation on completing Self Assessment Returns with regard to Health & Safety provision. We plan further support for this network as well as London and the South West in 2012.

The Skills Funding Agency (SFA) and WAG DfES (Welsh Assembly Government Department for Education & Skills) have recently updated their guidance to WBL providers, education institutions and careers companies. DTD Training is working to ensure all its customers receive the most up to date advice on the implementation of these standards into their organisation. A series of workshops & seminars across the country will brief those people needing to implement & work to the standards.
