The Chargehand Development course is designed for new and experienced Chargehands and other team leaders with little or no previous training. Those with temporary Chargehand duties (e.g. during periods of shutdown/outages) will also benefit. There are no prerequisites for individuals to attend this course.

At the end of this interactive training, delegates should be more knowledgeable and skilful in communicating effectively, managing performance and engaging with people -resulting in more effective and safer working on-site. For more information click here.

Supervisor Training is one of the most consistently in-demand ECITB products for the last 15 years. Thanks to the work by some of our providers it was the first ECITB programme to be offered through a virtual classroom during lockdown in 2020, with over 200 virtual delegate attendances on the modules in place at that time. It has been updated several times during its life, and a further update was completed during 2020. The content and delivery have been refreshed to include more current behavioural content, and the new programmes are designed to work more effectively in a virtual classroom environment. The new programme has been developed as 3 modules by focussing on the most important areas (as perceived by employers) in the current programme and has the theme of ‘Giving Supervisors the Edge’.

The 3 modules are:

• Module 1 – Taking the lead (3 days)
• Module 2 – Achieving Performance (2 days)
• Module 3 – Sustaining Success (2 days)

The aim of this course is to equip individuals with tools and techniques to more effectively communicate briefings and propositions designed to persuade and win the support of the audience. They should have increased confidence in presenting in a way to inspire and motivate – reinforcing the feelings of the audience and generating enthusiasm, boosting morale and encouraging positive attitudes.

This is an interactive, face to face 2-day course, with an on-course assessed presentation.

This two-day training course is for site managers, supervisors and employee representatives working on engineering construction projects using the National Agreement anywhere in the UK. A key element of the roles of both groups is to manage employee relations so that contracts are completed on time and to budget. The National Agreement for the Engineering Construction Industry (NAECI) is a vital part of the framework which enables all parties to work together to achieve success.

The overall aim of this training is to ensure that all participants can make an effective contribution to the success of the projects in which they are involved. The intention is to help them to understand the provisions of the NAECI and to encourage them to demonstrate positive leadership qualities when applying these.

The course will normally be delivered during the initial stages of specific contracts, a time when team relationships and styles of working are evolving.
