💡 Course Spotlight 💡

Earlier this year, we announced our partnership with ECITB as an Approved Training Provider — and we’re proud to continue supporting individuals and businesses with industry-recognised training!

Alongside our ECITB Lifting Equipment Users / Lifting for Technicians (ML05) course, we also provide the CCNSG Safety Passport course.

What is the CCNSG Safety Passport?

Suitable for all workers in industry, the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board’s (ECITB) nationally recognised CCNSG Safety Passport scheme gives delegates enhanced health and safety awareness.

Since being launched in 1993, the Client Contractor National Safety Group (CCNSG) scheme has delivered industry-leading safety training because it has been created and is overseen by industry, for industry. The CCNSG Committee, made up of representatives from across industry, advises on content and delivery to ensure it continues to meet the needs of industry.

The CCNSG two-day national course is delivered through face-to-face training, delegate discussion and shared experience, followed by a knowledge test.

On completion, successful candidates receive a CCNSG card, which is valid for three years.
