Construction Training in South Wales

Welcome to the Four Construction Training Group

The Four Construction Training Group was formed in 2009 on behalf of the local construction industry to provide training throughout the areas of Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Caerphilly and Bridgend. The group is made up of an executive committee and members who work within the industry.

The sole purpose of the group is to organise and co-ordinate quality and cost effective training to our members.   We aim to enhance the competitiveness of current members and endorse the achievement of industry recognised qualifications as well as promoting the need for training by co-operating with local training providers and authorities.  The group currently has 47 members and has the potential to expand and welcome other like- minded organisations.

What are the Group Objectives?

The main objective of the group is to assist the member companies to develop and maintain their organisations at a level of competence matching that of national service providers.  This is targeted through the identification of training requirements, establishment of an appropriate training schedule and provision of a support service for all group members, primarily focusing on the provision of local training and development courses.  Emphasis will be placed on business development activities, with the intention of enabling group members to compete in procurement processes and frameworks.  The group will develop a culture of training in the workplace, safeguarding learners and supporting all group members in the workplace.
