Construction Training Liverpool | DT Hughes Training Academy
DT Hughes Training Academy
DT Hughes Training Academy provides professional construction training across Liverpool and Merseyside. From CSCS card preparation and first aid through to health and safety qualifications and mental health awareness, we deliver courses for people at every stage of their construction career. Established in 2020 and open to both DT Hughes employees and external candidates.
CSCS Card Training in Liverpool and Merseyside
The CSCS card is the industry standard proof of competence for anyone working on a UK construction site. Without it, site access is refused at the majority of commercial and public sector projects. Getting the right card for your role requires passing the relevant Health, Safety and Environment test and holding the appropriate qualification.
DT Hughes Training Academy provides CSCS card training across Liverpool and Merseyside, helping candidates understand what card they need, how to prepare for the test, and how to get qualified as efficiently as possible. Whether you are entering the industry for the first time or renewing an existing card, we can help. Enquire about CSCS training today.
Construction Courses for Adults and Career Changers
The DT Hughes Training Academy is open to people at all stages of their working life, not just those already in the industry. If you are considering a career change into construction or civil engineering, we offer a clear route in through practical qualifications that employers in the North West actively look for.
Courses include first aid, manual handling, and a range of health and safety qualifications alongside CSCS preparation. We also offer mental health awareness training, reflecting our belief that a resilient workforce needs more than technical skills to thrive.
Training for SP Energy Networks Authorisations
The next phase of DT Hughes Training Academy is the development of a fully operational training school for SP Energy Networks authorisations. This programme is designed to support the skilled labour force in meeting net zero targets by developing the specialised capabilities that utility network work demands.
This evolution reflects the broader DT Hughes Group mission. With an established SPEN framework partnership and over 40 years of operational experience in the field, we are well placed to deliver the kind of authorisation training that produces work-ready operatives rather than just qualified ones.
In-House Training Built Around the Construction Industry
The Academy was established to serve the DT Hughes workforce first, which means the training we deliver is grounded in real site experience rather than classroom theory. Our instructors understand the environments our candidates will be working in because they have worked in them too.
This practical foundation is what sets DT Hughes Training Academy apart from generic training providers. Courses are delivered at our onsite training facilities in Liverpool, keeping travel straightforward for candidates across Merseyside and the surrounding area.
