2025 In Review & Coming Up in 2026 with CTS Training & Consultancy
2025 In Review
With new courses and services launched, and more candidates trained than ever, 2025 was CTS Training & Consultancy’s most exciting year yet!
Looking back over 2025, we’re proud of all the candidates who trained with us and the businesses that we have supported in becoming more compliant.
Training Statistics
CTS Training & Consultancy delivered training to over 1300 attendees in 2025 across dozens of different courses.
Our most popular training remains MHE courses. This represented over 50% of our courses delivered last year covering counterbalance, rough terrain, pallet truck, HIAB and many more. This is thanks to our flexible training options, whether it’s day-shift or night-shift, at your site or ours, our fantastic team of instructors can deliver training whenever and wherever you need it.
Our next most popular courses were:
- Driver CPC: Although the 5-year rush is over, we recommend completing 7 hours every year to stay ahead.
- First Aid: Whether it’s 1-day Emergency First Aid, 3-day First Aid at Work, or Mental Health First Aid, the safety and well-being of staff remains a priority.
- ADR training: Our sister company specialises in the transport of dangerous goods, so candidates benefit from real life expertise.
We remain committed to serving our local Norfolk and Cambridgeshire area. Our customers in 2025 included transport, manufacturing and warehousing companies, local councils, lorry drivers, forklift drivers and individuals looking to change or progress their career.
Training course launches and achievements in 2025
Beyond the numbers, 2025 was a year of growth and improvement.
CTS Training & Consultancy launched multiple new courses and services including:
- Level 1 and Level 2 Security of Dangerous Goods courses: Developed by NLTC, these courses ensure that all staff involved in the transport of dangerous goods receive the required training in security-related aspects.
- Mental Health First Aid training: As businesses continue to invest in the wellbeing of their staff, it’s recommended that at least one person is trained to recognise signs of mental health issues and direct colleagues to the available resources for support.
In November, we delivered the first CTS Compliance Seminar which was very well attended, and where we launched CTS Companion. This new membership service is designed to support transport companies with their compliance. You can find out more about CTS Companion here.
We expanded our on-site training fleet with a new electric forklift and a HIAB equipped with a brick grab attachment, enhancing our existing rough terrain telescopic and hook attachment HIAB.
We were also delighted to receive overwhelmingly positive feedback on our annual audits from accrediting bodies such as RTITB and SQA. We are proud to be delivering accredited courses again throughout 2026.
Start the year off right
Speaking of 2026, here’s what you can expect from CTS this year!
Whether it’s training, compliance advice, DGSA services, digital tachograph solutions from CTS Analysis or PPE from CTS Shop, our vision for 2026 is to continue to develop our services and support you in keeping your business compliant.
The beginning of a New Year is the perfect time to review your training matrix, plan any training that’s needed for the year ahead, book in your annual compliance audit and stock up on tacho rolls and PPE. Make sure you start 2026 off right.
Training courses and compliance services in 2026
It’s never too early to book MHE refresher training, and our open course dates for Driver CPC, ADR, Transport Manager and First Aid courses are all planned in until the end of the year.
Our first courses this year are:
- 19th January 2026 – Emergency First Aid at Work with optional 7 hours Driver CPC
- Starting 20th January 2026 – Transport Manager CPC
- 24th January 2026 – Driver CPC covering Health & Safety and Economical Driving

We are also looking forward to two more CTS Compliance Seminars, one in the spring and another in the autumn. Make sure you’re following us on social media to see those dates as soon as they are released.
Happy New Year from CTS Training & Consultancy
With that, we’d like to thank you for your continued support and wish you a very Happy New Year, full of growth and success.
