OLCI Construction Training, the UK’s only nationwide training provider, and PTS, a leading UK plumbing and heating merchant, have teamed up to give yet another advantage to OLCI students. The alliance sees all newly trained OLCI students receiving PTS Discount Cards whilst current PTS account holders can now gain exclusive discounts on OLCI training courses.

OLCI students already enjoy significant benefits as a result of state-of-the-art nationwide training centres and flexible study-when-you-want theory modules. Now, this most recent alliance ensures OLCI students enjoy financial benefits too.

Elin Norlin, OLCI Marketing Manager, explains: ‘Teaming up with PTS allows OLCI students to enjoy discounts on their plumbing and heating materials and tools. We believe this added offer enhances our position as the UK’s leading construction training provider and, in this incredibly competitive market, gives our students the advantage they deserve.’ Read more »

OLCI Construction Training, the UK’s only nationwide construction training provider, has teamed up with Greenbuild Property & Maintenance Ltd., a London-based property and maintenance company, to create a unique 4 to 16 week work experience programme for students. The aim is to develop their plumbing,
electrical or gas engineering skills in real-life work settings. The programme operates as a "working interview" and exceptional students can potentially gain full time employment with Greenbuild.

At a time when university graduate unemployment is high*, OLCI, as a construction training provider, has seized the initiative and built this alliance that means their students can gain valuable work skills, written references to help them progress their career, and maybe even a job at the end of it.

Speaking about the scheme, OLCI Student Development Co-ordinator Rosanne Kincaid-Smith, commented: ‘This represents an exciting opportunity for our students – not only can they receive expert training to help them achieve industry recognised qualifications, but successful students can now experience site life with a fast-moving and exciting company.’ Read more »
