STL, which already jointly operates a number of training facilities in the UK as well as in Germany and the US, prides itself on providing innovation and technical support for bespoke training programmes. STL was one of the first companies to gain RenewablesUK and GWO approval in 2011.

Bob Dickens, MD at STL, says: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with 8point8 as this will enable us to combine our considerable experience and expertise and to jointly offer a wider range of training courses and excellent facilities in an ideal location to support the growing wind energy market on the East cost of the U.K.”

8point8 Group are not only an exciting, rapidly growing company, but quickly established themselves as a leader in their field, thanks to their exemplary experience and focus on unparalleled client service. Their brand new, purpose-built centre in Doncaster, S. Yorkshire not only provides outstanding facilities, but offers excellent road, rail and air access for its current and expanding roster of global clients. The ever-expanding centre tailors course content to suit customer requirements, whilst ensuring safety is never compromised.

The partnership doesn’t intend to rest on its laurels either. Plans are already in place to add IRATA training, sea survival courses and bespoke training built to meet the specific requirements of individual clients and sectors.
