Industrial Needs

The future of our industry depends on educating and developing the skills of our workforce and providing relevant training courses to all people and organisations that tow and manage trailers, caravans, horse boxes and mobile plant.

Our national training scheme addresses these industry needs with a complete package of related courses. They provide a versatile tool for training and assessing people at all levels. The courses cover, Level 3 Trailer Servicing & Maintenance, Level 2 & Level 3 Towbar Fitting & Towbar Electrics. Special attention given to the latest vehicle CANbus (Controlled Area Network) electrical systems in current vehicles that can require ‘coding’to function properly.

The learning materials the courses deliver are realistic, effective and specifically designed for relevant on-the-job training. We deal with daily issues that provide discussion and problem solving forums. The dates and venues of training workshops are published below.
