CITB Approved Training Organisation: LJ Construction Achieves ATO Status
We're proud to announce that LJ Construction has officially achieved CITB Approved Training Organisation (ATO) status as of March 2025, enabling us to deliver Assured training courses recognised by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB).
With the industry's increase in compliance and regulatory requirements, we're investing further in our internal training structure to ensure we can deliver on this.
Our Initial Rollout: Apprenticeship-Focused Assured Courses
Initially, the Assured courses will support our apprenticeship delivery, covering core certificates such as:
- Manual Handling (GET2649)
- Power Tools (GET2646)
These courses will be delivered both on site and at our Carpentry Academy, ensuring the competency level of our new entrants is met.
Next Step: Upskilling Our Team
Beyond apprenticeships, we will then begin expanding our in-house training to support our qualified workforce, starting with specialised courses such as:
- Fire Door Installation & Maintenance (GET2622)
- Timber Frame Erection (GET2153)
This forms part of our commitment to continuous improvement and compliance as regulations evolve.
Looking Ahead: Delivering Recognised Industry Certifications
The future of LJC as a CITB ATO extends beyond internal development. With this status, we're now in a position to become a recognised training provider for established industry qualifications, such as the CITB Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS).
We'll share more on these offerings later in the year - but this move signals our goal to help lead on site training innovation.
