Webb's Training Services

What Webb's Training Services does

Webb's Training Services (legal entity Kingscote Ltd) is a UK-based accredited vocational training provider delivering more than 50 courses across Health & Safety, Construction, Plant Operation, Fire, First Aid, Work at Height, Electrical, Driving, and Environmental categories. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reconomy Group, with course accreditation held across major industry bodies including CITB, IPAF, IOSH, ECITB, CPCS, PASMA, RTITB, and NRSWA, among others. Its core customers are construction and engineering sector employers and individual operatives who require statutory certification and re-certification such as CSCS-recognised qualifications, SMSTS site manager accreditation, ECITB CCNSG Safety Passport, and CPCS plant operator licences.

The business is delivered through a hybrid physical-and-virtual model. Six training centres across the Midlands — Birmingham (head office), Telford (registered address), Leicester, Milton Keynes, Brownhills, and West Bromwich — provide classroom and plant-based instruction, while a virtual training option is offered on selected theory-based courses at a discount to in-person pricing. The technology layer is described as a training delivery platform supporting course discovery, online booking, and virtual attendance; no proprietary software, AI features, or platform architecture is disclosed beyond standard web-based course management.

Webb's Training Services generates revenue on a per-attendee course-fee basis, with prices ranging from approximately £149+VAT for entry-level one-day courses to £1,400+VAT for multi-day CPCS plant courses, and payment required in advance of course commencement. Go-to-market is direct-to-customer through the website, online booking, and telephone enquiries. The company self-describes as the number one training facility in the Midlands and holds a 4.9/5 Google customer rating. It has publicly stated plans to add further centres to extend coverage nationally.
