The Construction Industry Safety Training Centre (CISTC) was established in 2004. CISTC specialises in health and safety training for the construction industry and is a CITB Approved Training Organisation (ATO).
CITB ATOs have been established to ensure that training providers deliver construction training courses and qualifications to a defined and agreed industry standard. We are a fully accredited CPCS and CITB Site Safety Plus Centre with the facilities to provide the Health and Safety and Environment touch screen test.
Our focus is on working with students, employers and our local community to address the skill shortage. Our vision is to improve the skills of current and future generations and to present them with opportunities for all routes in their construction employment. The management courses that we run also develop clear pathways to more senior roles and responsibilities within the construction industry.
Our Training
CISTC provide comprehensive training to a very high standard by professionally qualified instructors. We combine this high level of training with hands-on practical experience. This is specifically designed to train candidates in a range of construction activities. All training is of the highest standard and quality. Furthermore, we price our courses competitively to enable candidates to achieve affordable, nationally recognised qualifications.
In addition, we are also a Health and Safety and Environment Touch Screen Test Centre (CSCS). Contact us today to book this in.
