Empower Training Services Limited specialises in training for industry

Our training programmes are bought to life by the wealth of knowledge and practical experience our highly skilled tutors possess. A lifetime's experience within industry, as well as outstanding technical knowledge, enables our tutors to deliver memorable and informative training courses that can make a measurable difference to your business.

Training

Training is at the heart of our business

At Empower, we don't just go through the motions - we make sure our training works.

In the highly technical fields where we operate, it is not enough to assume that a candidate meets the required standard of competency simply by attending a course or working through a computer package. They have to prove their understanding of theory and practice to our complete satisfaction - and that takes some doing.

It's a challenge, but one to which most candidates will rise, thanks to the careful teaching of our staff and the inspiration they provide.

All our courses benefit from a carefully planned combination of theory and hands-on practice, backed by the best equipment currently available and a team of highly experienced and dedicated staff.

Apprenticeships

Empower Training Services is the UK's only Centre of Vocational Excellence for Electrical Power. Offering complete apprenticeship programmes in a variety of disciplines, Empower can help you find out more about becoming an apprentice or recruiting one.

What is an apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships are nationally designed training programmes for 16-24 years old who have left fulltime education or who are already in employment.

During your apprenticeship you will combine real work experience with study towards a recognised qualification whilst getting paid!

Your apprenticeship can take between 36 to 42 months and will lead to an NVQ level 3 qualification.

Stay in the black. Go green

Welcome to the future of business, where your bottom line depends on sound environmental management.

70% of UK businesses are ignorant of their environmental obligations* - risking prosecution from environmental damage without even knowing it. For your organisation to succeed in a world of ever tougher environmental laws, and ever stronger consumer demand, you need to be ahead of the curve.

Empower gives you the tools to navigate your way through a changing landscape, without getting caught out. By showing how green management is effective management, we can help you succeed without costing the earth. In fact, we might just save you money.

We can help you get to grips with the issues, and understand their impact on your organisation's future. And, our specialist expertise means that as your environmental responsibilities change with time, we'll be there for you - from your first ever environmental audit, right through to meeting the latest regulations.

Whether you're a florist's or a foundry, we can help just where you need it - from simply cutting energy bills, to ISO 14001 or Integrated Pollution Prevention Control. Take a look at our courses, or call us if you'd like to talk about your own unique needs. There's no hard-sell, and the benefits just might surprise you.
