The CDUK training academy

CDUK training is delivered by a highly experienced and enthusiastic team, the range of courses are structured to cater for all levels of expertise: from apprentices, joiners or woodworking specialists, on to solid surface fabricators looking to upskill, complete a refresher course or discover new techniques.

The benefits of training with CDUK

We develop specialist training courses for the surfaces and products in our portfolio. The quality and workmanship of a finished product or surface is extremely important to us. By sharing our product knowledge, and demonstrating best practice techniques alongside safety awareness, we can deliver outstanding results for our clients.

We train individuals or small groups, to ensure we can deliver focused training sessions. This is ideal for the individual trainees’ expertise and a real positive in terms of expanded skills sets and streamlined working practices for your business. Courses include fabrication training and fitter training, plus specialist training days which can be tailored to suit your specific requirements.

Upon successfully completing the course, trainees receive a CDUK training certificate and we provide opportunities for companies and individuals to gain certified qualifications in both the fabrication and installation of surface materials.
