For the past two years, CDC Group has placed a particular focus on supporting the principal contractors and subcontractors delivering data centre projects across the UK and Europe – bringing practical IPAF MEWP and working-at-height training closer to the teams who need it.

The buildings that keep Europe connected are designed around resilience. Their construction should be no different.

During delivery, a data centre is a high-density, fast-changing workplace. Steelwork, cable containment, ceilings, mechanical and electrical installation, fit-out and commissioning all create regular demand for safe access at height. Several trades may be working in the same area, access routes can change as the build advances, and overhead space becomes more restricted with every completed package.

Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) are central to that work. Just as important is the judgement of the people selecting, supervising and operating them.

That is why CDC Group has spent the past two years developing a stronger, sector-focused training offer for data centre construction teams. We support principal contractors and specialist subcontractors with IPAF MEWP and wider working-at-height training planned around real project conditions, real machines and demanding mobilisation programmes.

Training that understands the environment

Data centre work is not generic construction work. Operators may need to manoeuvre around structural columns, installed services, temporary works, protected equipment and other live work fronts. The machine may be familiar; the space rarely is. Effective training must therefore do more than prepare someone to pass a test. It should build sound habits: completing proper pre-use checks, understanding the limits of the machine, recognising overhead and ground-level hazards, maintaining safe separation, using the correct emergency lowering procedure and knowing when conditions have changed enough to stop and reassess.

The principle is straightforward. A trained operator should be able to make a safe decision when the easy decision is to carry on.

IPAF operator training provides a respected international standard for MEWP competence. Successful candidates receive the PAL Card, which IPAF says is accepted in more than 80 countries and regions. Formal operator training is only one part of the safe system, however. The HSE also makes clear that operators need familiarisation with the controls and operation of the specific make and model they are using. Site planning, supervision and the correct selection of equipment remain essential.

CDC Group brings these elements into the conversation from the outset. We help clients identify the right training route for the roles, equipment and work ahead – avoiding a one-size-fits-all booking that leaves gaps when the team reaches site.

Supporting principal contractors and the supply chain

For principal contractors, the challenge is consistency. A data centre project can involve numerous subcontract packages, each with its own workforce, programme and training status. A clear project-wide approach helps establish the same expectation across the supply chain and gives site teams greater confidence that MEWP users have received appropriate, recognised training.

For subcontractors, the pressure is often speed. New starters, replacement labour and changing work fronts can create last-minute training needs. CDC Group works with project and safety teams to plan delivery around mobilisation dates, shift patterns and the practical constraints of the site, helping reduce avoidable travel and time away from productive work.

Depending on the project requirement, CDC training’s support can include:

• IPAF MEWP Operator training for relevant categories, including 1b, 3a, 3b
• Dual- and triple-category operator training
• IPAF MEWP Spotter training
• Harness awareness, user and inspection training
• IPAF PAV (Push Around Vertical) training for the use of Peco Lifts and Nano Lifts
• PASMA mobile access tower training
• Project-specific working-at-height briefings and safety campaigns

The course mix is agreed against the work being carried out. The aim is not to sell the largest package; it is to make sure the right people receive the right training before access, competence or certification becomes a programme constraint.

Training where the project needs it

CDC Group delivers from its purpose-built training centre in Hemel Hempstead and can coordinate project-based delivery anywhere in the UK and across Europe, subject to suitable facilities, equipment and local requirements. That flexibility matters. Training near the point of work allows teams to learn in a setting that reflects the project, while central coordination helps contractors manage standards across multiple packages or locations. Whether the requirement is a single specialist team, a larger intake or a phased, multi-site rollout, CDC Group can build a practical schedule around the programme.

For European projects, we work with the client to understand location, workforce profile, site rules, equipment categories and delivery dates before confirming the training plan. This early conversation is important: local legal and site-specific requirements still apply, even where an internationally recognised qualification is used.

Competence that carries into the working day

The value of good training is seen after the course: in the quality of pre-use checks, the control of the work area, the questions an operator asks before elevating and the confidence to pause when the environment is not right.

Those behaviours protect people, plant, installations and the programme. They also support the professional safety culture expected on critical infrastructure projects.

CDC Group’s data centre focus is built on direct experience with principal contractors and subcontractors operating in these environments. Our instructors understand the pace, the interfaces and the need for clear, practical delivery. We are ready to support the next project, wherever your teams are mobilising in the UK or Europe.

Investing in People. Building Safer Infrastructure.

At CDC Group, we believe that the strength of Britain’s infrastructure is built on the competence, leadership and professionalism of the people delivering it.

We are therefore delighted to celebrate the successful completion of the ProQual Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Health & Safety Leadership and Management by Mike Mungroosingh, Lead SHEQ Manager at EDF Energy’s Sizewell C, following a development programme delivered by CDC Group between 2025 and 2026.

Mike’s achievement represents far more than the completion of a nationally recognised qualification. It reflects a commitment to continuous professional development, strong safety leadership and the highest standards of operational excellence within one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects.

As one of Britain’s flagship energy developments, Sizewell C demands exceptional leadership in health, safety, quality and environmental management. We are proud to have supported Mike throughout his qualification journey and to contribute towards developing the leadership capability that underpins the project’s safety culture.

A Partnership Built on Excellence

For more than a decade, CDC Group has delivered accredited NVQ training, courses and workforce development programmes to organisations operating across construction, civil engineering, utilities, manufacturing and major infrastructure.

Working alongside teams involved in nationally important projects requires training providers that understand not only qualification requirements, but also the operational realities of high-risk environments.

Our partnership with the Health & Safety team at Sizewell C demonstrates exactly that approach—delivering flexible, practical learning that fits around demanding project schedules whilst achieving nationally recognised qualifications.

Congratulations once again to Mike on this outstanding achievement. His dedication to professional development sets an excellent example for colleagues across the industry.

If your business is delivering one of Britain’s major infrastructure projects and is looking to strengthen workforce competence, develop safety leadership or increase compliance through accredited vocational training, we’d welcome the opportunity to discuss how CDC Group can support your teams.

Invest in your people. Raise standards. Build a safer future, together, today.

For more than ten years, CDC Group has helped businesses across the UK develop safer, more skilled and more compliant workforces through high-quality training and professional development services.

Over that time, we’ve built lasting relationships with organisations and construction companies across a wide range of industries in the UK and Europe, supporting them in meeting legal requirements, improving workplace standards and investing in their people. As those relationships have grown, so has the demand for wider compliance support beyond training alone.

That’s why we’re proud to introduce CDC Compliance.

Compliance shouldn’t be viewed as a box-ticking exercise. Done properly, it protects your people, strengthens your reputation and helps your business operate more efficiently.

Our approach is simple: provide clear, professional guidance that is proportionate to your business, your industry and the challenges you face. We focus on delivering practical solutions rather than unnecessary paperwork.

A natural progression

The launch of CDC Compliance is a natural extension of the services we’ve delivered for over a decade.

Many of our clients have told us they wanted a trusted partner who could not only train their workforce but also provide practical guidance on health and safety, compliance management and industry best practice. CDC Compliance has been created to meet that need.

Our consultancy service combines practical experience with a straightforward, commercial approach, helping businesses remain compliant while creating safer, more efficient workplaces.

How we can help

CDC Compliance provides professional consultancy across a range of areas, including:

• Health & Safety Inspections
• Company Accreditations Consultancy
• CDM Advisory
• ISO Compliance
• Incident Investigations
• Safe System of Works Development

Every organisation is different, which is why our support is tailored to your specific requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

Working with you, not just for you

Our aim is to become a trusted partner for our clients. We work alongside business owners, directors, project managers and operational teams to develop systems that are practical, compliant and easy to implement.

Whether you need assistance preparing for an accreditation, improving your health and safety management, meeting your duties under CDM Regulations or investigating workplace incidents, we’re here to provide expert guidance every step of the way.

Built on expertise

Training has always been about more than delivering qualifications. It’s about helping businesses reduce risk, improve standards and give their teams the knowledge to work safely and effectively.

CDC Compliance builds on those same principles.

Rather than offering generic advice, we work closely with our clients to understand how their business operates, providing realistic recommendations that are proportionate, achievable and aligned with current legislation.

Looking ahead

The launch of CDC Compliance marks an exciting new chapter for CDC Group. While our training services remain at the heart of what we do, we’re now able to support businesses throughout their entire compliance journey—from developing competent people to creating the systems, policies and processes that keep organisations operating safely and efficiently.

As regulations continue to evolve, having an experienced partner you can rely on has never been more important.

If you’d like to learn more about CDC Compliance or discuss how we can support your organisation, we’d love to hear from you.
