Welcome to Devon Construction Training (DCT)

Founded in 1980 we are a "Not for Profit" Members' organisation comprising of small and medium sized companies working in construction across Devon. We have links with various professional institutes, trade federations, colleges and other training providers, but our main focus is on the training needs of companies working in construction.

DCT welcomes new members, please  contact our Training Officer, Marie Coyde, to discuss either on 07399 513971 or by email [email protected].

What is it all About?
The main objectives of DCT are to offer members access to cost effective training, when possible, at local venues, at a time and date suitable to those attending; to promote a forum on current training issues and to facilitate links between Members and training providers.

Where is it At?
It is mainly in Devon. There are similar organisations in neighbouring Plymouth, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset and there are also specialist Groups such as the Roofing Group. We co-operate with each other to provide training together, when appropriate.

How is it Run?
DCT is an independent training organisation with its own Training Officer and is managed by an Executive Committee elected by the Members. We are part funded and supported by CITB. Any surplus funds are reinvested into further training for the benefit of our Members.

When does it Happen?
It is happening virtually all the year round and details of our current Training Programme of courses and workshops are updated regularly here on our website, and are circulated to all our Members.
