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.’

Nicola Wood, PTS’ Marketing Manager commented: ‘PTS wanted to give OLCI students an added advantage – and with a discount on our wide range of products for the trade, we’re delighted to help.’

To train to become a plumber, electrician or gas engineer and enjoy the benefits experienced by OLCI students, simply call OLCI advisors on 0800 058 2848.

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.’

Greenbuild Director Dermot O’Neill said: ‘When OLCI approached us about working together we were delighted to help. OLCI students have the skills that we need and we can give them valuable hands-on experience within the industry, whilst they make a significant contribution to moving Greenbuild forward.’

Plumbing Trade Supplies has joined forces with OLCI Construction Training to become the sole supplier to our training centres, which means that PTS account customers and OLCI students can now enjoy some exclusive discounts.

As one of the largest plumbing and heating suppliers, PTS supply a comprehensive range of bathroom, heating, plumbing, renewable energy products and genuine spares through a nationwide network of over 300 branches.

With over 30,000 stocked products from over 500 leading manufacturers and an extensive range of own brand products to suit your every need, most products are available direct from the branch or can be ordered for next day delivery.

Through this new partnership, OLCI students will now receive a unique PTS card to gain discounts on a range of products, including an exclusive tool kit, which contains everything they need to complete their course and move their career forward.
 
PTS account customers will also benefit thanks to significant discounts on all of OLCI’s training courses including topics such as ACS, Part P, water regulations and renewable energy solutions.

Alan Ball, Managing Director of PTS, said: “It’s important that merchants such as PTS support both installers fighting a tough economic climate and apprentices who are the future of our industry. By partnering with OLCI we can offer some cost saving benefits to both groups – helping them to improve their skills to support customers now and in the years to come.”
