Trades Training School Marks 15th Anniversary

Construction News Image
Edinburgh-based Trades Training School (TTS) has marked 15 years of training more than 3,000 students and helping to launch over 1,000 businesses.

TTS has achieved their goal of becoming Scotland's first independent training centre offering nationally-recognised trades qualifications to adult learners, filling a gap in the market.

They currently offer courses ranging in duration from 1 week to 6 months incorporating SQA Professional Development Awards, City & Guilds Diplomas as well as NVQ/SVQ vocational qualifications. The School is also planning new, more advanced, courses for experienced tradespeople as well as bespoke training for established trades businesses.

TTS said that they believe that one of the key elements of their success is the business training and technical support they offer (both during and after the course), ensuring every student is given the best chance to move on to a career in their chosen sector, or to start their own business.

Gillian, Business Development Director, said: "What I love most, is seeing students transition into their new careers, feeling confident and empowered. Over the years we've built up a fantastic community and our after-course support is something we're proud of. We often receive messages from students, sometimes months or years after they leave, thanking us for helping them change their lives."
