After a well-earned break, our team is back and looking ahead to an exciting year in 2026!

With a strong number of training, qualifications and assessments already booked and underway, we’re focused on building on the progress from last year while responding to the evolving needs of our customers and industries.

Throughout 2026, we’ll continue working closely with key industry accrediting bodies and our customers to ensure our training remains high-quality, relevant and fully aligned with current standards. From updated courses to new developments on the horizon, there’s plenty planned for the year ahead and here's what we can tell you...

Upcoming Industry Updates

Our ongoing relationships with accrediting bodies means that we are one of the first to hear about upcoming industry updates that may impact training, compliance and operational requirements. We’ll share important changes throughout the year as well as keeping you informed, emerging developments and relevant guidance.

ABA Changes

From 19 January 2026, the Accrediting Bodies Association (ABA) will implement significant changes to their Workplace Transport Groupings.

Upcoming changes include the removal, creation and reclassification of categories, more specifically height ranges and boom lengths.

More information to follow.

Events and Exhibitions

We’ll be attending a range of events and exhibitions across the industries we support. These provide a great opportunity to connect with our customers and industry individuals, share insights, and stay updated on the latest developments shaping training, safety and compliance.

Whether you’re looking to learn more about our courses, discuss your training requirements, or simply say hello, we look forward to seeing you at events throughout the year. Details of where you can find us will be shared below:
