LIFTEX 2025 For quality training,
Qualitrain is the leading UK training provider specialising in apprenticeships for the lifting equipment industry. Accredited by Ofsted, Investors in People Platinum and Matrix, we work closely with lifting employers and the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association to deliver a programme that helps build the next generation of lifting equipment engineers and technicians.

theory, hands-on training and essential safety instruction to prepare apprentices for real- world challenges. Apprentices also complete 3x accredited LEEA courses; the Foundation Diploma, Lifting Accessories Course, and Manual Lifting Machines Diploma – all at no extra cost, potentially saving employers thousands in course fees. Most of the programme is delivered online via Microsoft Teams, with face- to-face LEEA courses in Alfreton, Derbyshire and a few off-site sessions as required. Training covers mechanical principles of lifting systems, materials science,
diagnostics, repair methods and legislation such as LOLER and PUWER. Learners develop practical skills in dismantling, repairing and rebuilding equipment, sling assembly to BS, ISO and EN standards, inspections, technical drawings and non- destructive testing. Safety is embedded throughout, including risk assessments, PPE and safe handling practices. There are no formal entry requirements, though Level 2 maths is expected. The apprenticeship is funded up to £12,000 through the Apprenticeship Levy or 95% by Government, meaning employers will never have to pay more than £600 per apprentice, and even that could be funded through a local Levy Transfer (Subject to availability). Additional CITB support may also be eligible for members.
Qualitrain will be at the LiftEx exhibition this November in Liverpool. Want to talk about apprenticeships? Come and see Andreas and Mike from Qualitrain at stand 70. For more information, please visit
