Materials testing training solutions increase efficiency

In 2017, the construction materials testing (CMT) market calls for faster turnaround of tests with increased compliance and reporting to NATA, all on a lower cost per test base. Agile organisations are turning to workplace based practical training to upskill their lab teams at an operational level.

LTT has worked with key industry bodies, multinationals and small local businesses to develop a smarter, more engaged workforce. Since 2006, we have delivered customised training solutions in construction materials testing laboratories across Australia.

Our workplace training delivers long-term improvements for businesses, including:

  • Industry accreditation, including National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) compliance

  • Increased staff morale, retention and productivity

  • Improved market credibility

  • Access to financial incentives for investing in staff training

Leading Victorian construction materials suppliers, Mawsons and Sons, has had multiple workers complete their training with LTT. Quarry Technical and Training Manager, Wayne Douglas, is impressed with LTT’s “high level of service”.

As CMT specialists in sand quarries, hard rock and premixed concrete plants, Mawsons require contextualised training that is tailored to their specific needs. Wayne explains, “LTT’s training provides our employees with up to date qualifications, with a training program developed specifically for our company and which also meets NATA Laboratory Accreditation requirements.”
