We’re pleased to announce that Ainscough Training Services will be exhibiting at Build North Expo, taking place at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool on 16 June 2026.
Ainscough Training specialises in delivering training, testing and NVQs for lifting operations across the construction and infrastructure sectors.
Working with contractors, engineers and employers, the company supports workforce competence in areas critical to site safety and operational performance.
Focus on lifting operations training and site competence
Ainscough Training provides a wide range of accredited courses, including CPCS and bespoke training programmes, alongside NVQ assessment services. These cover roles such as crane operators, appointed persons, crane supervisors and slinger/signallers—key positions in managing safe lifting activities on construction sites.
The business operates as an accredited training and test centre, with programmes designed to support compliance with industry standards and evolving health and safety requirements. Training is delivered at dedicated facilities as well as on-site, enabling contractors to upskill teams in line with project demands.
As construction projects increase in complexity, particularly across infrastructure and high-rise development, the need for qualified lifting personnel and structured competency pathways continues to grow. Training providers play a central role in ensuring safe operations and reducing risk across the supply chain.
Supporting skills development across construction
Ainscough Training works across multiple sectors including construction, engineering, utilities and energy, reflecting the widespread need for lifting operations expertise.
Its training and assessment services are designed to support both new entrants and experienced operatives, offering routes from entry-level certification through to advanced qualifications. This includes pathways such as progression from CPCS Red to Blue cards, helping improve employability and long-term career development within the industry.
With skills shortages continuing to impact construction delivery, particularly in specialist roles, training providers are increasingly important in building workforce capacity and maintaining safety standards across projects.
