More UK demolition degree coverage

We are happy to see the UK's first demolition degree continuing to get coverage from some of the top online destinations for our industry. The latest is by Construction News and written by Duncan Rudall.

"Demolition has long been seen as the poor relation of the construction industry, especially to the outside world who still think big wrecking balls are knocking buildings down all over the country."

C&D appointed by NDTG to deliver the first ever Demolition Management course in Gibraltar

Readers of this website will know that C&D are proud to be members of the NDTG and that we deliver their courses throughout the UK. But you may not know that we are also involved in course development with NDTG.

We are currently revising the Demolition Manager Black Card course and have now been appointed by NDTG to prepare and deliver a four day course for demolition managers in Gibraltar. The course, which will run from 3-6 February 2014, is based upon a mixture of content from the UK Demolition Manager course and the popular C&D two day course currently being delivered to major clients around the UK.

Content will include UK legislation, British Standards, CDM and how it applies to demolition, demolition techniques in 2014, why NFDC contractors with IDE members will ensure competency and a number of group exercises to allow candidates to discuss projects, interact with each other and build on the skills learnt during the course.

Sophie Cox (NDTG Manager) and John have been working with the Gibraltar client since 2010 to make this course happens and here at C&D we are delighted that Sophie's efforts have been successful.

2013 starts with a flood of training orders

We are delighted to announce that 2013 has started with a flood of orders for demolition training at various venues round the UK. The orders include:-

These orders coupled with over 20 training enquiries by email over the Christmas break will see C&D deliver training somewhere in the UK every week until the end of March with all Saturdays currently booked.
