Ryan, Good day Thank you for your positive feedback on our last three candidates, It's nice to hear how they all took to the Seenebogan with great cofinance, it's especially pleasing to hear your comment on how seriously all three take Health and Safety. Your observation regarding the PUC will be addressed and the relevant check form will be altered accordingly. Once again, thanks for your efforts and we hope to see you again soon for another training course. Many thanks, Kind regards Mark

"Another happy customer."

I had the absolute pleasure of being trained by Mike, and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the very outset, it was clear that he possessed a deep and comprehensive knowledge of not only training people to become competent trainers, but also a wide variety of safety topics. His expertise is not only extensive but also delivered in a way that is accessible, engaging, and genuinely impactful. What truly set Mike apart was his ability to bring important topics—particularly health and safety—to life. Rather than presenting them as dry or routine requirements, he made them both interesting and memorable, ensuring that I fully understood not just the “what,” but the “why” behind each principle. This approach made a significant difference in how the material was received and retained. Mike also demonstrated an exceptional level of patience and attentiveness throughout the training. He took the time to explain concepts thoroughly, never rushing through material, and always making sure that I was comfortable and confident before moving on. No question ever felt like too much trouble, and his willingness to revisit and clarify points created a supportive and encouraging learning environment. On a personal level, I found his guidance incredibly valuable. His clear explanations and practical insights helped me immensely, and I came away from the training feeling far more confident and well-equipped than I had expected. It is rare to find a trainer who combines expertise, clarity, and genuine care for their learners so effectively. Overall, Mike is an outstanding trainer who goes above and beyond to ensure the success of those he teaches. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking high-quality, engaging, and truly beneficial training. Review Taken from Google Review.

cable avoidance tool Training

Cable Avoidance Training ( Cat and Genny)

Description

Buried services signify a major hazard to Construction and Utility workers in the UK. Excavations that have been poorly planned and prepared for can cause cable or pipe damage leading to expensive repairs, project delays and most crucially, personal injury. The CAT, or Cable Avoidance Tool, is used to locate these services so that they can be avoided.

The CAT can detect signals naturally radiating from metallic services or in conjunction with a Genny that applies a distinctive signal that the CAT can detect.

The CAT can be used in 4 modes: Power (P), Radio (R), Avoidance (A) and Genny (G) and can detect most buried cables and conductors (though not all, such as plastic pipe which hasn’t had a Flexi-trace wire added).

Knowing how to use these tools correctly is imperative in their successful use. Ace Trainers offer a CAT and Genny training course which properly prepares candidates to use the equipment, providing them with the essential knowledge needed to safely and correctly operate them when tracing underground services.

The course is designed to meet the guidance from HSG 47 for Avoiding Danger from Underground Services , Puwer98, Health and safety at work act 1974

At the end of this course you will be able to:

Identification of Underground Services and Common Marking(s)
Legislation, Regulations and Best Practice with respect to Detecting and Tracing Underground Services
Reasons for using Cable Locators
Hazards arising from the use of Cable Avoidance Tools and Signal Generators and precautions which should be observed
Identification of types and limitations of Cable Avoidance Tools and Signal Generators
Implications of Damage, Handling and Transporting of Equipment
Inspecting, Calibration and Testing of Equipment
The methods of safe use of Pipe and Cable Location Equipment, along with basic locating techniques
A practical session where each candidate will be instructed and assessed on their ability and competence in using the CAT & Genny in the local area on various services

Duration

(4-6 Hours ) Novice & refresher course for up to 6 operators

Certification:

Each delegate will be given a theoretical (multi-choice format) test to assess their job-related safety knowledge, pre-use and a practical test, upon successful completion a certificate of basic training will be awarded.

As an accredited training organisation, we can offer a certification either at a non-accredited level (known as in house) training which allows the delegates to use this training for your company only, or we can also offer a national photo ID certificate at a cost of £20.00 per person. This then enables the trainee to operate (with permission) anywhere in the UK. Their names and details are kept on a national database. The certificate is valid throughout the UK and will be recognised by both employment agencies and prospective employers.

When conducting training at customers’ premises we will require the following:

An open area either indoors or outdoors
A room in which to carry out the theory training.

All training is accredited via BrittoP – British register of industrial truck trainers and operators
