Delivering scaffolding training nationwide

4th March 2019

With Simian’s rapid expansion over the past few years, our scaffolding training courses are more accessible than ever before, with training centres located throughout the UK.

Our multiple-location strategy has been long in the planning, as we strive to ensure that we are able to support scaffolding businesses wherever they are based.

In our earlier days, Scaffolders were required to travel to our HQ in Warrington to get their scaffolding training, and we were always aware that this was impracticable for many. As the doors continue to open at the new centres we have invested in, our training is accessible more of our clients, wherever they may be based and from April this year, they will be able to take their choice from eight strategically located venues – all with different delivery capabilities.
