Expert Support

Our expert support is an area that really separates us from the rest of the training industry. I have heard many training providers make the same claim but at DLC we not only have vast training resources available from people who have operated at every level within industry with breathtaking achievements, it is also the depth and breadth of the experts we use from transport expertise through to lean manufacturing. We also have access to some of the most outstanding individuals in the country covering all of the fields we deliver training in.

Having experts deliver training for DLC means we are able to bring to life the training and studying experience with quality materials, matched with high quality tutors and with real hands on industry expertise, this has proven to be our winning ticket

All DLC's tutors have direct and up to date industry experience and are first class tutors.

In the late '80s and early '90s, whilst working for BNFL Fuel Division near Preston, Lancs. a site with 4000 employees, he was the Production and Quality Departments' representative on the team that managed the implementation of an MRPII system for the division. The implementation was externally accredited as Class A within 18 months.
