About CTD Safety, Bournemouth, Dorset

About

CTD is a fully accredited CITB ATO (Approved Training Organisation) authorised to deliver courses for numerous accreditation boards.

We have been delivering a wide range of training, assessment and testing in construction and industrial plant, and health and safety for over 15 years now. We offer professional, industry relevant and cost-effective training. Bespoke training can also be developed to meet your needs.

Our training centre is located on Bournemouth Airport, where we have both classroom facilities, plus an impressive purpose-built practical training ground, that can realistically simulate real life site conditions, using our fleet of modern plant machinery. We believe that combining the use of modern technology in the training rooms with hands-on practice is the most effective way to deliver a skilled and safety conscious workforce.

Our team of highly-qualified, motivated instructors, bring with them a wealth of real life experience in construction, civil engineering, and the industrial and quarrying sectors.

Testimonials

… it was a pleasure to visit such a pristine and enthusiastic business. It is my opinion that the systems, procedures and behaviour seen during the visit are adequate to ensure the safety of trainees.

This is an impeccable presented training facility, where the system of the management of health and safety appears to be wholly adequate – as may be expected from an organisation that also teaches many aspects of health and safety.

We are delighted with CTD’s approach to training. They have produced courses which, whilst being professionally presented to a high standard are positively retaining the interest and participation of our staff. The feedback from our personnel has been remarkable with emphasis being placed on the confidence instilled in them by the CTD instructors.

Alan White – Quality and Safety Manager

OPG – SCOTTISH AND SOUTHERN ENERGY

Just a quick email to say thank you for the training you have done for us. The training was of a very high standard and professional at all times. It was easy to follow and covered all aspects of the training. The feedback from the rest of the teams being trained was also of a high standard and they would like to sit other training courses with yourselves!

MORRISON UTILITY SERVICES

I thought that I knew everything about driving a telehandler but I soon realised that I have more bad habits than skill. The instructor corrected my problems and in fact made the machine much easier for me to operate, especially on sites where there is not much space.

Jason Wilkins – General Operative

The First Aid at Work course was a complete departure from my normal working day but probably the most satisfying course that I have attended.

Kevin Blackman – Senior Site Agent

I’ve been on many confined spaces courses over the years but this was by far the most interesting and useful. The trainer was very experienced an clearly explained everything in detail!

Gerry Dowling – Groundworker

MILDREN CONSTRUCTION LTD

I would like to thank you for the excellent training you supplied for our teams working on the R&M water contract. I was informed by my Health & Safety Manager that while it was of a high standard and professional, it was also very easy to follow and enjoyable. I look forward to arranging further training courses with you in the future!

The world of H&S is constantly changing and updating and whenever a new situation occurs we have been able to approach CTD and gain a solution and or help. Employees have enjoyed the courses they have attended and the pass rate for the CSCS touch screen tests has been very high with CTD suggesting areas of additional assistance that may be required for some individual employees.
