Warrington’s position at the meeting point of the M6, M56 and M62 has made it one of the North West’s most important logistics and distribution centres, with major business parks including Omega and Birchwood generating a steady pipeline of warehousing, industrial and commercial construction work, alongside continued housebuilding across the town.
We work with contractors, developers and civil engineering firms across the town, as well as individuals funding their own training to break into or progress within the industry. Whether you’re setting out foundations on a distribution centre near Omega, working on a housing scheme in the town centre, or supporting industrial development around Birchwood Park, our courses are designed to reflect the reality of a live Warrington site.
Whether you’re building a career on Warrington sites or developing your company’s workforce across the North West, there’s a route built for where you are.
Build a career in site engineering with training shaped around real North West sites. Our setting out courses give you the practical skills, qualifications and confidence to get hired and progress, whether your interest is in large-scale logistics and industrial builds or residential housebuilding.
Cut down on setting out errors on site, build genuine competence across your team, and reduce reliance on external engineers. Our corporate training solutions can be delivered at our Warrington base or on-site anywhere across the North West, ideal for contractors and developers working on the region’s warehousing and distribution schemes.
Partner with us to support surveying modules at colleges and universities across the North West, giving your students industry-standard, practical setting out training from a trusted UK provider.

Our most popular course and the one most Warrington delegates start with. A full week covering total stations, levels and the practical basics every site engineer needs, taught in small groups so everyone gets genuine hands-on time with the kit.
For engineers who already have site experience and want a recognised qualification to support progression into a senior site engineer role, particularly relevant given the competence requirements now expected under the Building Safety Act.
A five-day programme for those already working on site who want to sharpen technique and speed, rather than start from the basics.
Two days covering drawing interpretation and setting out data in AutoCAD, useful for engineers working alongside design teams on Warrington’s construction projects.
Responsive hands-on tuition, real site scenarios, and ongoing support — here’s what makes our setting out training different.
Choose a scheduled date at our Warrington location or enquire about in-house training delivered at your site anywhere across the South East.
All setting out training uses professional robotic total stations. Small groups mean every learner gets proper hands-on time throughout the week.

Whether you’re building a career on Warrington sites or developing your company’s workforce across the North West, there’s a route built for where you are.
We focus on building the real-world setting out skills and confidence Warrington’s site engineers need to perform from day one. Our training is designed around outcomes, not attendance records.
Learning doesn’t stop when the course ends. Every delegate on our Warrington courses gets ongoing access to our eLearning platform and community forum, plus the chance to attend future refresher courses and practice days at no extra cost.
We work with colleges and universities across the North West on setting out and construction surveying modules, a level of academic credibility most commercial training providers can’t claim.
Warrington is one of 10 UK and Ireland locations where we run public setting out courses, alongside London, Kent, Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Bristol, Belfast and Dublin. Most competitors operate from a single base.
We train on multiple total station types, not just one, so Warrington engineers are ready for whatever instrument they find on any construction site across the North West.
Our ProQual Diploma in Engineering Surveying is aligned to the competence-proving requirements that have become critical since the Building Safety Act, helping Warrington contractors future-proof their workforce today.
