We offer five categories of EUSR courses in utility excavation training, that was developed in collaboration with employers and stakeholders.
They come from across the energy and utility sector, with years of knowledge in each category. Each category is mapped against National occupational standards.
All our EUSR courses are delivered by tutors who have amassed years of experience and knowledge working within the Construction, Utility and Civil Engineering Sectors.
These courses are aimed at everyone who is involved with excavations, from operatives through to managers and designers, and from novices to experienced workers.
You can attend our EUSR Excavation courses in a classroom at our Leigh venue. These courses are a mix of theory and practical training.
The theory part is delivered in a classroom, while the practical part is delivered outside.

EUSR Categories 3-5: £710+VAT
These EUSR courses can be delivered as an in-house course specifically for your delegates. You can choose to attend the course at a venue of your choosing or in one of our training centres.
