Mentor take control at Construction Training Academy

Mentor Training Solutions have taken control of Construction Training Academy. Mentor, a well-known name in the world of training across a host of industries, began their partnership with Construction Training Academy (CTA) in 2016, providing IPAF and PASMA training courses at CTA’s training facilities and at customer locations.

The Mentor and CTA relationship has evolved over the past 2 years. As well respected and experts in construction training and qualifications, CTA have built themselves a reputation as a provider of quality plant and management training in the construction sector and have an expanding list of well-established customers who rely on their expertise for training and VQ assessment services. Both parties recognised the skills that they each brought to the table and felt that together they could offer the construction and associated industries a robust and valued training service based on the core Mentor principles of Service, Quality and Value.

Emily Bonsall, Director of Mentor Training said; “By coming together, Mentor will bring the knowledge and experience of running a National training business that delivers a responsive, flexible and quality training service coupled with CTA’s years of experience and competence associated to construction training and qualifications”.

Our existing customers and those who are new to Mentor will see the same professionalism, dedication and commitment from Mentor’s training advisors, instructors and account management teams. We will be taking our management experience and supporting the growth of Construction Training Academy and their highly qualified and competent team of office staff, instructors and assessors. Something that I believe will bring great value to construction training in the UK”.
