C&D Consultancy are delighted to announce a new training partnership with Rammer to deliver breaker training

Following lengthy negotiations over the last 6 months C&D Consultancy are delighted to announce that we have been appointed by Finnish hammer giant Rammer to deliver hydraulic breaker training on a worldwide basis.

Alan Matchett of Rammer spent many hours in discussion with John and Duncan Rudall of DCS Training (our training partner in this venture) developing the format of the course to ensure that C&D could satisfy the Rammer requirements as follows;-

• The course was to be written to PTTLS guidelines.
• All trainers must hold PTTLS teaching qualifications.
• A minimum of 3 trainers must be available to deliver the course anywhere in the World. (C&D will train 4 trainers to cover holidays/illness)
• It would be an advantage for the course to be delivered in languages other than English (The course will eventually be delivered in English, Spanish and Italian as well as the core languages of John and Duncan -Black Country and Devonian).
• All trainers must attend an extensive 4 day train the trainer course in Finland in May 2013. (That is now set for 20th to 23rd May at Rammer headquarters in Helsinki).
• The course must be part of an overall suite of courses available to Rammer customers.
• C&D are free to deliver an adapted version of the course for any other breaker in use in the demolition industry.

Full details of the new course will be published in the Rammer in house customer magazine due out at any time now but you can get a flavour of the course by clicking through to DemolitionNews where it is featured on pages 40 & 41 of the current issue of Demolition magazine where the article includes the following quotes:-

• "Operator misuse, abuse and neglect are universally accepted to be the single biggest cause of hydraulic hammer failure within the demolition sector"
• "Our training course is designed to overcome that problem by demonstrating best operating and maintenance practice to ensure that the operator is safe, that the breaker performs to optimum levels, and that wear, tear and failure are minimised"
