With the increasing demands on staff within the construction industry to complete Personal Development training, a series of courses has been devised, to relieve the burden of seeking comprehensive drainage training. ACO Academy courses have been certified by the Construction CPD Certification Service and can be used by members of construction based institutes for the completion of their annual CPD requirements.
The Courses are divided into 2 broad series of courses to help focus training more effectively

ACO Education
With specifiers, contractors and senior merchant staff in mind, the Education training series focuses in providing progressive but detailed information on drainage and how to best use ACO products in a given project.
Each series offers five levels of training starting at the Awareness level up to the Instructor level. Bespoke courses can also be accommodated to enable companies / students to fulfil specific training requirements.
