Thank You for a Fantastic 2025!

As the year draws to a close, everyone at Up To Speed Training would like to say a huge thank you to our clients, partners and followers for your continued support throughout 2025.

It’s been a successful and progressive year for the business, marked by growth, development and an exciting milestone - expanding our national footprint to three training centres, with the addition of our Hemel Hempstead hub this summer.

We’re incredibly proud of what’s been achieved this year and grateful to everyone who has been part of the journey with us.

Our offices will close for the Christmas period on 24th December, and reopen on 5th January 2026.

We’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to working with you again in 2026.

SALVATION ARMY 'BE A STAR' CHRISTMAS PRESENT APPEAL 🎁

Up To Speed Training was proud to once again support The Salvation Army’s Be A Star Appeal, alongside our XII Alliance partners Highway Traffic Management and Consilium Technical Services.

Together, we helped to provide gifts and essential items to families across Birmingham, supporting those who may otherwise face a difficult Christmas.

We’re proud to play a small part in something that truly makes a big difference within our local community, alongside trusted partners.

The Up To Speed FPL League Is Heating Up! 🔥

Calling all fantasy footballers - the race is on!

Our Up To Speed Fantasy Premier League is entering a busy and crucial period, and with cash prizes up for grabs for our top three managers at the end of the season, we’re playing for more than just bragging rights... it’s time to kick the competition into high gear.

The usual suspects are doing the business, with Haaland proving once again he isn’t human, and Bruno Fernandes and Declan Rice posting big numbers. But this season has also brought some unexpected heroes into the mix, with Thiago, Bowen, and Semenyo all delivering standout performances.

Whether you’re sitting pretty at the top or quietly plotting your comeback, we’re heading into one of the busiest periods of the season across Christmas and New Year.

Make sure you’re:

✔️ Up To Speed with the fixture swings
✔️ Planning your transfers wisely
✔️ Not missing those deadlines (or it could get costly!)

Good luck to all our managers - may your captains haul and your benches stay quiet!

Backing Tyler Denny This Friday! 🥊

Up To Speed Training is proud to continue supporting Tyler Denny as he steps into the ring once again, this time facing Grant Dennis on Friday 5th December.

We’ve been behind Tyler throughout his journey and we’ll be pulling for him again this week as he takes on his latest challenge. His determination, discipline and resilience embody everything we admire, both in sport and in life.

Best of luck, Tyler. We’re all with you.

2026 Hemel Hempstead Dates Coming Soon!

Our southern training centre in Hemel Hempstead has been a huge success since opening midway through 2025, and we’re delighted to confirm that new course dates for 2026 are imminent.

The demand we’ve seen over the past few months has been incredible, and as a result, we’ll be expanding our course offering even further for the year ahead.

This strategic southern base was created with one goal in mind - to make high-quality, accredited training more accessible for learners across the South.

Convenient, reliable, industry-leading training closer to home.

Stay tuned for the full 2026 line-up, coming very soon.

Although we traditionally close over the Christmas break, we’ve listened to our clients, and many have told us that the quieter period on the network is actually a perfect time to upskill their teams.

So this year, we’re opening select training dates across the festive period to support those in industry who:

🎄 Have workforce on rota but a reduced workload

🎄 Want to utilise quieter shifts to renew expiring qualifications

🎄 Want their teams fully prepared and compliant heading into the New Year

Whether it’s refreshing skills or getting ahead of January demand, we’re here to help.

Availability from 26th - 31st December - this is limited so act FAST !

Make this festive period productive and set your teams up to hit the ground running in 2026

Bonfire Night is all about fun, but staying safe is what makes the memories last. 🎆 🔥

With crowds, fireworks and open flames, accidents can happen in seconds - that’s where having Emergency First Aid skills can make all the difference.

Knowing how to stay calm, respond quickly, and give immediate care could help someone when it matters most.

Stay safe, look out for each other, and enjoy the night responsibly.

⭐ Keep your distance

⭐ Never return to a lit firework

⭐ Know the basics - it could save a life

For information about how first aid training can be useful not only in the workplace but also in social situations like this, contact the team at Up To Speed:

Yesterday saw another ‘Wellbeing Wednesday’ for us.

We took time out as a team to explore ‘My Working Day’ - the new wellbeing and feedback platform that lets everyone share how they’re feeling (anonymously or visibly) with just a tap of an emoji. 🙂 There’s also the option to elaborate, if you wish to.

We’ve implemented this across the business to further support the wellbeing of our workforce.

For the team, it offers a quick and easy way to provide honest feedback. For the business, it gives real-time insights to help us support our people and track trends over time.

We rounded the day off with a great team lunch and a catch-up away from the work environment - the perfect balance of connection and good conversation 💬

Today marks World Mental Health Day - a reminder of how important it is to look after our mental wellbeing and to create supportive environments where everyone feels valued, understood, and heard.

At Up To Speed Training, mental health isn’t just a conversation for one day a year - it’s something we continue to prioritise throughout the business.

We’re proud to have three qualified Mental Health First Aiders across all levels of our organisation, ensuring that support is always available when it’s needed most.

We also regularly run our ‘Wellbeing Wednesday’ initiative - a chance for the team to step away from the day-to-day, spend time together, and focus on connection, balance, and wellbeing.

Our next session takes place on October 29th, and we can’t wait to get the team together once again.

Update from the National Highway Sector Scheme (NHSS) Committee – Gate Person Airlock Installer / Operator Training Course

As of today, 1st October 2025, the Gate Person Airlock Installer / Operator Training Course is now a mandatory requirement for NHSS12D works.

This update follows its earlier introduction within NHSS12AB and marks a significant step in strengthening site safety standards and ensuring consistency across NHSS12 traffic management operations.

Key Points to Note:
• The Gate Person role is separate and distinct from the NHSS12D General Operative.
• All individuals undertaking this role must now hold the dedicated qualification.
• Organisations are responsible for ensuring compliance with this update to the Sector Scheme requirements.

At Up To Speed Training, we’re fully equipped to support you in staying compliant, qualified and ready for site work under the new requirements.

To view available course dates and secure places for you / your workforce, please visit our website via the link below:
