Train the Trainer

NUCA-approved Instructors are an elite group of individuals who have helped to build and improve this program as the years passed. Just as your trained employees are retiring, so are many of our trainers; creating a need for new well-trained instructors to teach the NUCA programs.

NUCA’s Train-the-Trainer courses emphasize building instructors and teaching them the concepts of being effective while focusing on teaching the core NUCA Competent Person and NUCA Confined Space Courses.

NUCA also offers a Train-the-Trainer course in Damage Prevention. Attendees will be certified NUCA Instructors and held to the same standards as the current letter of agreement for Competent Person and Confined Space instructors. Once certified instructors will have the ability to train for their companies as needed. The benefit to the members of this course is to eliminate or limit the number of utility strikes. This would reduce downtime, project delays, and loss of production. The purpose is also to create a safer work environment. Having properly trained individuals is the key to success for every company.

Price (NUCA Members Only):
Competent Person Training only = $587
Confined Space Entry Training only = $587
Both CPT & CSE = $1,175
Damage Prevention Training = $1,200

NUCA's Train the Trainer (read more)

Since NUCA held its first CPT/CSE train-the trainer programs 25 years ago, an entirely new generation of workers are entering the workforce – young and inexperienced. They need to know how to work safely around excavations and confined spaces.

NUCA expects the demand for CPT/CSE instructors to steadily increase over the next few years, as employees who were trained in early years retire and make way for new, inexperienced, but motivated workers.

NUCA approved Instructors are an elite group of individuals who have helped to build and improve this program as the years passed. Just as your trained employees are retiring, so are many of our trainers; creating a need for new well-trained instructors to teach the NUCA programs.

NUCA instructors have trained well over 350,000 employees in the last 25 years. Many of these instructors are consultants who are available for hire and others are in-house instructors who teach within their companies. There are many potential clients available and a lot of companies with new and inexperienced workers that need to be trained. In addition, companies are not only training supervisors to be competent persons but are also training their field employees.

NUCA programs are available in both English and Spanish for instructors to use to train employees. All the training materials an instructor needs to teach the programs are provided. English speaking instructors have always been in demand while the demand for bilingual instructors is growing rapidly and NUCA Approved Instructors are provided with and authorized to use the NUCA training materials.

You too, can be one of these well trained and respected instructors who are qualified and approved to teach the NUCA programs, which are considered the best in the industry. Become a NUCA Approved Instructor, begin building relationships, and you will soon find yourself saving lives and preventing serious injuries.
