Clyde Training Solutions (CTS), one of the largest providers of Marine, Offshore and Renewables safety training in the United Kingdom has opened a new training centre in Greater Glasgow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bespoke facilities based at Westway Park near Glasgow Airport utilise the White Cart Water, a River Clyde tributary to provide a range of industry approved on-water training to certify and prepare industry professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The site includes a dock and gangway, fast rescue crafts and lifeboats, industry-specific launch infrastructure and an onshore learning centre featuring two 16-person classrooms and a canteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The centre also includes drying, storage, maintenance and first aid rooms, along with communal areas, changing and shower facilities and car parking spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The site complements CTS\u2019s current training infrastructure in Clydebank which includes a deep-water pool, fire safety site, indoor learning centre and dedicated GWO Renewables industry training site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kris McDonald, General Manager, Clyde Training Solutions, said:<\/strong> \u201cThe development of our new training centre is the next natural step in the growth of CTS and further expands our Training Portfolio for the shipping and energy sectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis new site provides a cost efficient and centrally placed solution that offers high-end, effective training, ultimately delivering more skilled and competent workforces, in line with our ethos \u2018Competency Beyond Compliance\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIndustry professionals in the Central Belt do not require to attend initial or further training in the Northeast of Scotland for this on-water training, saving hundreds of pounds in travel and accommodation costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maritime training courses have received certification from the Maritime & Coastguard Agency for courses including STCW PSCRB (Initial and Updated), and STCW Fast Rescue Boat (Initial and Updated).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon completion of current ongoing audits, the centre will also meet offshore accreditation criteria from industry body OPITO, offering a range of courses including OPITO Twin Fall Coxswain (Initial and Further), OPITO Fast Rescue Craft (Coxswain and Boatman) and OPITO ITSO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Several new jobs have been created. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gregor King, Westway Asset Manager of Canmoor added:<\/strong> \u201cWe are thrilled to have Clyde Training Solutions as the latest high-profile occupier at the park. Access to the water was key and our dock facility provides the ideal base for this bespoke training facility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn addition, Westway offers a convenient central belt location, with great communications, as well as a 24-hour secure site.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n [INSERT_ELEMENTOR id=”14539″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Clyde Training Solutions (CTS), one of the largest providers of Marine, Offshore and Renewables safety training in the United Kingdom has opened a new training centre in Greater Glasgow.
