Transport Training Services Adds Evening Courses to Timetable
In response to customer demand, Transport Training Services (TTS) has added a range of training courses to a new evening timetable at its Nutts Corner training centre.
Initially these courses will include IMI accredited training on electric/hybrid vehicles and automotive refrigerant handling (FGas), both of which are for qualified vehicle technicians.

The new schedule will commence in early March. Find dates at the following links:
IMI Level 3 Award Automotive Refrigerant Handling Course

Driver CPC is also available on Saturdays.
TTS is committed to supporting the transport industry in filling skills gaps that have arisen from new vehicle technology and the drive to transition to zero emission vehicles.
The social enterprise has recently expanded its team of technical trainers in order to develop its training schedule and to bring additional specialist skills to the organisation.

TTS Wins Customer Service Excellence Award at Transport Industry Event
Transport Training Services (TTS) has been recognised for its customer support at the annual Export & Freight Transport & Logistics Awards. In an exceptionally well subscribed category, TTS won the ‘Excellence in Customer Service' award, sponsored by Close Brothers Commercial Finance.
The awards judges said TTS was a clear winner ‘demonstrating that a social enterprise can excel in customer satisfaction and sustain growth whilst also achieving social and community impact.’

Organised by the Hillsborough based publishers of Export & Freight magazine, 4SM (NI) Ltd, the event, returning after a two year absence because of the Covid-19 pandemic, is Ireland’s premier platform of recognition for those operating in the industry; it celebrates all the hard work, determination, and ongoing investment that make the industry what it is today.
TTS regularly surveys its customers (apprentices and professional development clients) on a range of topics including quality of teaching, teaching methods, facilities and support received, and across the board respondents are highly satisfied.

TTS Seeking Employers & Apprentices for New Supply Chain Management Apprenticeship
Transport Training Services has added a specialist Supply Chain Management Apprenticeship to its growing range of programmes. The course has been designed to develop the next generation of logistics industry professionals.
The apprenticeship, aimed at 16- to 24-year-olds (stipulated by the Department for the Economy ApprenticeshipsNI scheme), provides the skills and competence required to manage a production process from beginning to end - from purchasing raw materials to the delivery of the final product.
This training course, like all TTS programmes, requires the student to have a relevant job so that all learning at TTS can be put into practice in the workplace.
TTS currently has some interested candidates for the course (who already have employers ready to take them on), but the course needs a minimum number to go ahead in September.
If you are an employer in the logistics or manufacturing sector interested in training its future supply chain managers, or you are a young person looking for a new career opportunity, please get in touch with Robert Deignan on 07736 958355 or robertd@transporttraining.org. Companies that have existing employees aged between 16 and 24 who are looking to upskill are also eligible for this course.
