General Company Overview
PPL Training is a leading Facilities Management,
Sustainable Building and Renewable Energy
training company, delivering nationally
recognised certificated training and assessment
courses.
Our training courses range from new entrant
skills training to the up-skilling of existing
qualifications in the areas of Electrical,
Mechanical, Water Hygiene (Legionella),
Renewable Energy (including Green Deal and
Energy Assessing) and Health and Safety.
Authorising Engineer
We also offer specialist training courses
for Authorised and Competent Persons in
Mechanical, Electrical and Aeronautical Ground
Lighting disciplines.
The qualifications offered are from UKAS
accredited awarding bodies such as City &
Guilds, BPEC and NICEIC.
We also run our own in-house PPL Training
awareness courses, where the qualifications are
not a mandatory requirement.
Mechanical & Electrical Services Courses
PPL Training offer Mechanical and Electrical
Safe Systems of Work courses that provide high
quality training for Authorised and Competent
Persons, in order to meet the requirements of a
wide range of industries and sectors; including
commercial, Healthcare (NHS) and Ministry of
Defence (MOD).
PPL’s courses are delivered by lecturers with
extensive and current experience of Authorised
Person responsibilities, and in many cases
are practising Authorising Engineers within
Electrical and Mechanical disciplines. Our
Mechanical and Electrical Safe Systems
courses are offered at our York, Slough
and Falkirk training centres but they can be
delivered on site as bespoke events.
We have modern training facilities in York and
Slough that have practical assessment areas
which include installations for Low Voltage, High
Voltage, Aeronautical Ground Lighting, Pressure
Systems, and F-Gas, allowing theory to be put
into practice. We also offer a range of courses
for Authorised Persons that work within the
areas of Petroleum handling, Confined Spaces
and Ventilation.
We aim to provide a superb learning
experience with innovative and interactive
teaching methods, which give delegates the
