What do you use TDR Training for?

We used TDR primarily for the apprentice programme, they assist in apprentice recruitment.

TDR support Tyne Gangway and the apprentices throughout the apprenticeship duration, this is critical to ensuring we and the apprentices get the most out of the programme.

Tyne Gangway believes in passing on its knowledge to our future generations and continuously recruits new and young talent on its apprenticeship programme. We recently welcomed Jack, Adam, Marcos, and Owen who are all great new additions to our team, and we look forward to seeing them flourish in their careers.

We also use TDR for additional bespoke training courses, such as health and safety, skill development and HNC in Engineering for our design staff.

This assists Tyne Gangway in providing qualified staff to execute our work to a high standard.
