Since its inception here in the U.K., Volvo CE has held six such courses since the start of the year with extremely positive feed- back coming from both course students and the companies sponsoring them – such as Lafarge, Eurovia and Balfour Beatty to name a few.


Graham Crawshaw, from the MPQC (Mineral Products Qualification Council) and training auditor for Proskills is delighted how the structure of Volvo’s training package has taken shape. “I’m very happy with the course structure, the balance of the theory and practical elements of the course and the way the information is being given,” he said. “There is a good deal of information and knowledge that needs to be imparted to ensure everything is covered and in particular, all aspects relating to safety and Volvo’s instructors are doing this very well.”
