How Vertiq training works
Tell us what you need
Two minutes on the form, or ring us. We confirm the right course and the price.
Learn online
Work through the theory around your shifts. Phone, tablet or laptop.
Get expert support
Tutors and assessors who have done the job, not just read about it.
Put it into practice
Assessed in your own workplace, or one day on site for the safety courses.
For learners
Build your qualifications
Get the job you already do recognised, or move up a level. Online theory, workplace assessment, no fixed end date.
For employers
Train the team without losing the week
Your engineers stay on the job. We schedule assessment around your sites, not ours, and you get one point of contact rather than a call centre.
