C&D secures new training order from ProDEM

C&D are pleased to have been awarded an order from ProDEM of Nottingham to deliver CAT B asbestos removal refresher training for the whole of their workforce.

ProDEM Managing Director Martin Cross said:

"We have decided to award the training contract to C&D again this year as we are happy with the course delivery and the fact that the training is done at a place, date, and time to suit ProDEM rather than to suit the training provider"

If you need CAT B training then why not book one of the C&D training team to deliver the course for you? Email margaret@demolishdismantle.co.uk for further details.

The Work at Height suite of courses have proved to be very popular since their inception as they give operatives the chance to increase their WaH knowledge in small steps as their duties change. The courses were introduced in August 2013 and we have now delivered over 5,000 hours of training in WaH.
