LEEA Training Courses and Team Cards
The LEEA Foundation Course is a pre-requisite training course that must be achieved before progressing to the LEEA Advanced Programmes. The LEEA Foundation Course is NOT a qualification.
The LEEA Advanced Programme is a specialist training course for your chosen subject. The Advanced Programmes can be taken in any order, and employees of our LEEA Full and Development Members are entitled to a TEAM Card in the category of “Test and Examine”, this will list all qualifications achieved.
Bespoke training courses are designed as supplementary training courses that complement the Advanced Programmes. Delegates that successfully complete the training courses will be awarded a LEEA certificate.
Methods of Training
E-Learning is available via our LEEA Academy for all LEEA Courses except for Mobile Crane Examination.
Instructor-Led Training courses can be delivered UK wide or internationally at the members’ premises, or at our purpose-built training centre in LEEA Huntingdon. Courses include the LEEA Foundation Course, bespoke training and Advanced Programmes.
Blended Learning: a course will be studied via the e-learning platform in the LEEA Academy followed by 2-day session including final examination which will be delivered by a LEEA Training Specialist at your chosen location.
