Furness Training South Cumbria's Largest Training Provider

" Furness Training has provided Wax Lyrical with a broad range of training which has played a major part in the function of the business. Our relationship with Furness Training goes back to when Colony was a fledgling business and the college supported our training needs and helped us grow in to the Company that we are today. Training employees is an essential activity for all organisations and provides employees with the key knowledge and skills that they need to perform their job. I believe training can motivate employees and create positive attitudes. The Furness Training personnel make the booking process painless; they are efficient, knowledgeable, and even create courses for our specific needs, they consistently deliver all expectations. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Furness Training for their continued support and look forward to working closely with them for years to come.  "

" Handmark Engineering Limited is delighted to have been involved with Furness Training in training and developing CNC Machine Apprentices. This is an innovative project which has successfully addressed a local skills shortage which was identified several years ago. The Apprentices that we have employed have been keen to learn new skills, both in our workshop and at Furness College. These skills have helped us make our CNC machine workshop more efficient by increasing productivity and reducing waste.  "

" “I think, if nothing else, I see a huge increase in confidence in the staff that are undergoing the training. They are much more able to use the computer send emails etc. It has helped people to undertake their on line mandatory training. I think that when we eventually move to computerised patient records this training will help enormously. I have also been very impressed with the assessors commitment to St Mary’s Hospice and how the training sessions are fitted into everyone’s working week. It is working very well.’’ "

" Our Engineers, together with all our staff, are the main asset of our business.  To provide a professional service, we strive to ensure that all our employees are qualified to the right level for their job role and we also encourage them to push on and maximise their potential.  We were pleased to work recently with Furness Training to get four of our Engineers qualified in Inspection, Testing & Certification of Electrical Installations.  This City & Guilds qualification reinforces our commitment to training and will help us provide a quality professional service to all our customers. "
