Candidates will also have the opportunity to list their expectations from the course at the start of the programme with the hope that these subjects will be covered throughout. “We are confident that the New Demolition Manager Course will soon be the recognised Industry Standard for our Demolition Site Managers,” says NDTG group training manager Sophie Francis. “This is your chance to ensure that your company is one of the first to train your Demolition Manager to this new industry standard and be one of the first to obtain the new CCDO/CSCS Managerial Level Card. On successful completion of the course, your candidates will be industry assessed and issued with a CCDO/CSCS Demolition Manager (Experienced Worker) Card. This card will be valid for three years, in which time your manager must register and achieve the appropriate NVQ.”
Francis says there will be a maximum of two places available per company per course in the first instance. “The NDTG recognises the demand for this course and therefore hopes to give all companies the opportunity for attendance during the five year phasing in period,” she adds. “To ensure even distribution of manager training, course allocation will be made at the discretion of the Training Group.”
