Training -> Introduction

Experience

Roxby Training has been providing training courses for over 40 years. Our initial
aim was to train staff in engineering disciplines, principally instrumentation, from
apprentices up to process operators, but we now offer a portfolio of around 100
short courses in a wide range of disciplines.

Our well-equipped training facility provides the ideal blend of practical and
theoretical training, with most courses comprising 60% hands-on experience
and 40% class room-based learning. Where appropriate, we also try to offer
delegates new to industry a site visit and our long-established relationships
with local companies are invaluable in this respect. Our instructors are all fully
qualified and widely experienced.

By using Roxby to train your employees you will see immediate benefits such as:

  • Reduced Downtime
  • Lower Maintenance Costs
  • Safer Plant Operations
  • Compliance With Current Legislation
  • A Competent Workforce

We have an outstanding record of delivering high quality training to industry both
nationally and internationally.

Facilities

Roxby Training has first class facilities located in Middlesbrough, the engineering
centre of the north east of England. The premises house an extensive range
of Electrical and Instrumentation equipment, which has been chosen to provide
a realistic reflection of the type of equipment likely to be found in the typical
workplace.

Our success is measured by the amount of repeat business that we obtain.
Customers come back to us again and again. This has been achieved through
ongoing investment in our training facilities and customers’ recognition of the
excellent attitude and performance of our trainers. Delegates take away a
positive view about the training they receive and employers, in particular,
recognise the importance of the amount of hands-on experience we provide.
We have found that our 60/40 mix of practical and theoretical training provides
optimal results by significantly improving trainees’ retention of the information
they have learned.

Many of our courses can also be carried out at customers’ premises,
if preferred, provided that facilities are suitable.
