Asbestos Training Limited, and sister company ATL Safety Limited are delighted to be amongst the first CITB Approved Training Organisations (ATO) to join this new initiative helping employers to train their staff at a fraction of the normal costs.
What this means for your business: - You can book UKATA and CITB approved training and receive a 70% reduction of the fees which will be covered by the CITB via this scheme. The scheme, which will launch in the Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire area in October this year and will then continue to roll out throughout the UK in the coming months.
