What brought us to where we are now?
The trainers at Broadbandcareers Have many year's of experience working within the communications, installations and Security industries. And at one time or another have provided service or worked for most of the major communications companies who are providing services in the Ireland and the UK. Such as Virgin Media, NTL, sky, BT, Eircom, UPC

The Broadbandcareers name was initially used when five training consultants at NTL Developed a training programme for cable technicians way back in 2000. when the development was completed our trainer adopted the name when he left NTL to become an independent training provider.

The trainers have many year's experience of course material development and project management. But most important of all, have first hand experiences of the skills needed particularly within the Telecommunications industries.

The desperate need for Contextual training brought us to where we are today. Before becoming training providers. The trainers in their existing jobs. Had to stand by and watch as existing training providers churned out generic training. That was (and in some cases still is) heavy in outdated theory, not relevant to how the telecommunicatons installation companies deploy and work TODAY.

Resulting in too many trainees being non the wiser as to how to do the job in the context of where they were expected to work. But we have aimed to change all that.

Our Values and what we are about
We realised that with our knowledge and experience we could make a difference, and provide the contextual training that we knew from working in these industries was desperately needed. In practice this means we provide relevant socially focused training programmes which meet on-going, real world needs for business by:-

• Building our training programmes on an analysis of the knowledge and skills required for real world job roles within the cable, Aerial, Satellite, Broadband and Fibre Installation and Service businesses. Meaningless theory is totally discarded.
• Develop well structured, clear, workplace skills based training programmes, to meet industries current and anticipated future needs
• Support relevant industry recognised qualifications that meet International standards
• Use modern, professional training methods and techniques.
• Provide support so organisations put the training into practice
• Work with our clients to provide customised or new training solutions for those customers working at the limits of, or on newly awarded projects.
