Training Centre Expansion Supports Growing Demand
Teach A Trade has expanded its training centre in Telford, Shropshire, with the addition of two brand-new classrooms, further strengthening its capacity to deliver high-quality training across the West Midlands. This investment reflects the increasing demand for skilled professionals in the electrical, gas and renewable sectors, as both new entrants and experienced tradespeople look to upskill.
Each classroom has been designed to accommodate up to 12 learners, ensuring that training remains focused, practical and engaging. The expansion allows Teach A Trade to increase course availability while maintaining the high standards expected by learners, employers and awarding bodies.
Dedicated Spaces for Specialist Training
The new classrooms have been purpose-built to support specific areas of training:
- A renewables-focused classroom, supporting delivery of Solar PV, EV charging and battery storage (EESS) courses
- A dedicated space for gas, F-Gas and Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) training, aligned with growing demand in heating and cooling technologies
This structured approach ensures that learners are trained in environments that closely reflect real industry settings. By separating disciplines into dedicated spaces, Teach A Trade can deliver more specialised, hands-on training that supports both technical understanding and practical competence.
Improving Quality and Learner Experience
The expansion is not only about capacity—it is also about enhancing the quality of training delivery. Smaller group sizes, improved facilities and modern equipment all contribute to a more effective learning environment.
For learners, this means:
- More access to equipment and practical activities
- Increased support from tutors
- A clearer pathway into employment or career progression
For employers, it ensures that candidates completing training in Telford and the wider West Midlands are equipped with the skills required to meet current industry standards.
