RNN Group launches Logistics Training Hub & CSCS Testing Site

RNN Group formally launched its brand new, innovative Logistic Training Hub on Monday 20th October, located at Rawmarsh Road in the old Construction facilities of Rotherham College.

The Logistics Hub which focuses on Forklift Truck Training includes two bespoke classrooms for theoretical learning as well as a large simulated warehouse space with shelving and pallets to practice  what has been learned in the classroom.

Nearby our CSCS testing site – the first of its kind in the Rotherham area –  is also up and running for learners to complete and complement their Forklift Truck qualification as a separate offering. A CSCS testing centre allows people to take the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) test — also known as the Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test — which is required for most workers on UK construction sites. Once a person has passed, they can apply for the CSCS card, which proves they have the required health and safety knowledge to work safely on construction sites in the UK.

Currently, the top three employment areas in the region are transport and storage, manufacturing and construction with transport and storage the highest growth industry in the region.

Jason Austin, CEO and Principal commented, “I am delighted to be able to formally launch this long awaited and incredibly important centre for adult learners to gain important qualifications in the field of construction.

“Labour Market Intelligence suggests that warehousing and construction are some of the fastest growing sectors in our region and to be able to offer these qualifications to support our local community in accessing these opportunities is a significant milestone in supporting these growing industries and the economic development of our region.”
