INTRODUCTION

In today's competitive working environment, the need for ongoing advanced training has never been greater. It is with this in mind that we have endeavoured to put craft skills back into the workforce.

"Theory without practical is barren,

Practical without theory is blind"

The RM Skills Centre offers the opportunity to receive the theoretical and the practical skills combined and at the same time awarding a nationally recognised qualification on completion of each course.

Nowadays within the Roads and Construction Industry there is a great demand for standards to improve.

Legislative Law (The New Road and Street Works Act 1991) and the Scottish Office are insisting on the workforce being trained to specific recognised standards i.e. S.Q.A. (Scottish Qualification Authority). These qualifications are recognised throughout the UK, across Europe and Worldwide.
