About us

Trade-led training, run out of Underwood.

HD Training was set up by people who spent years running teams and plant, and got tired of sending workers off to crowded courses that didn't reflect the job. So we bought the machines, took the site and built the training we wanted for our own people.

How we operate

Small groups, real machines, honest assessment.

Everything we deliver is face to face, for adult learners, at our own site. Course numbers are capped so every operator gets meaningful time on the plant rather than a day of watching.

Our trainers and assessors have commercial operating backgrounds — forklift, EWP, heights and construction — and they assess to the standard rather than to the clock. If someone isn't competent yet, we tell you, and we work with them.
