Unlock Safety & Competence with Our Abrasive Wheel Train the Trainer Courses
At Training and Testing Services, we believe that safety isn’t just compliance — it’s confidence. That’s why our BAF-accredited Abrasive Wheel Train the Trainer courses are designed to equip your in-house trainers with the skills, tools, and confidence to deliver effective abrasive wheel safety training to your workforce.
Why Choose Train the Trainer?
Abrasive wheels are powerful tools used across many industries — from engineering and construction to fabrication and maintenance. While they are essential for cutting, grinding and finishing, they also present significant hazards if used incorrectly.
Under HSE guidance in HSG17 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER), employers must ensure operators are competent and trained in safe use. By training your own trainers, you not only meet compliance obligations, you create safety champions within your team who understand the risks, the controls, and how to teach others effectively.
What Makes Our Course Stand Out?
Unlike one-size-fits-all programmes, our Train the Trainer courses are:
- BAF Accredited — recognised by the British Abrasives Federation, the only body mentioned in HSE guidance.
- Machinery-Specific — tailored to the exact abrasive wheel machines used in your workplace.
- Delivered by Experts — our trainers are experienced abrasive wheel operators and accredited instructors.
Two Flexible Training Options
We offer two paths depending on your team’s teaching experience:
🔹 1-Day Course – For those with a minimum of a Level 3 teaching qualification, this intensive course focuses on delivering abrasive wheel training to your staff in a clear, engaging, and effective way.
🔹 2-Day Course – Ideal for attendees without formal trainer qualifications. Day 1 focuses on course design, instructional techniques and micro-teaching; Day 2 is where trainees deliver abrasive wheel training themselves, with coaching and feedback throughout. (
Both formats combine theory and practical assessments, including safe wheel changing, dressing where required, and competency evaluation — all on your own equipment where possible.
What You’ll Take Away
Every trainee receives a comprehensive resource pack, including:
- Custom PowerPoint presentations (machine-specific)
- Certificate templates and handouts
- Theory and practical assessment forms
- Abrasive wheel marking charts
This means you’re ready to deliver your own abrasive wheel safety training programme straight away, with confidence and compliance.
On-Site Delivery Across the UK
Whether at your premises or one of our training centres, we deliver training that suits your schedule and needs — anywhere in mainland UK. Training is typically for groups of up to 6 people on-site, ensuring personalised attention and maximum learning impact.
