Why learn something new? There are compelling reasons for upskilling, which generally fall into two categories: personal and professional. On a personal level, acquiring new knowledge or skills boosts self-confidence and provides a sense of accomplishment while offering valuable mental stimulation. In the professional realm, updated skills and knowledge can open doors to career advancement. Why this time of year? Two key periods in the year often motivate people to make changes in their lives. The first is the first week of January, commonly associated with New Year’s Resolutions. The second period is right now! As the seasons change, we begin to contemplate the year ahead while reflecting on the challenges and accomplishments of the past year. Although life may start to slow down a bit, this gives most of us a chance to focus on personal development, whether through short courses, or technical qualifications. Make learning bite-size and convenient! For many, pursuing qualifications or training often feels like a daunting task that gets pushed aside. In operations, it's easy to become absorbed in immediate concerns. Over the last five years, we’ve noticed a trend: individuals start thinking about their development early in the year but delay enrolling until mid to late spring when a brief lull occurs. As the weather improves and work becomes less muddy, they finally take the plunge and enrol. But why put yourself under extra pressure? The initial stages of any qualification can be challenging as you transition back into educational mode, often for the first time in years. Delaying enrolment until the workload intensifies leads to interruptions in your studies. By starting your learning now, you can find time to gradually tackle your studies in digestible chunks. By the time spring arrives, you could be well on your way to completion. Since you'll have a solid understanding of what’s required, you can integrate your studies into your routine, even during the busier months. How can we help? We deliver a wide range of qualifications and training to the waste, quarrying, utilities and associated sectors. To start your journey by emailing us at info@hsecservices.co.uk or alternatively give us a call on 01502 712209 ! Have a better business, with better training!

Do you operate an exempt waste facility, such as a T9 or S2 among others, do you have someone employed or contracted in who has the required technical competence to legally manage your exemption?

So, what is a managed training service? It’s effectively where an organisation looks to outsource aspects of an organisations learning and development functions, using a single training provider or organisation, to supply and source all of their qualifications and training either directly or indirectly, in addition to administrative services such as reporting, updating training records, copy certificates etc.
