Course Information
Almost every business and trade will rely on some type of power tool or small plant machinery – and the rail industry is no different. Though these tools are often lighter and easier to handle than heavy units, it’s important to know how to use them safely and correctly. That’s why we offer PTS small tools training, here at Real Skills Training.
Candidates will be shown how to operate and use power tools that are used within the rail industry. This could be anything from drills to rail saws, wrenches, abrasive wheels, and more.
There are no scheduled sessions listed for this course as we arrange training on request – making it more convenient for you. Just give us a call on 0151 257 6969 and let us know when suits you best, and we will do everything we can to arrange training for then.
Prereqs:
To apply for a place on the small tools course, all we ask is for employers (or the candidate themself) to submit a booking form. You can also register your interest, or find out more about the course, by calling us.
