Training service leavers for successful new careers in the trades
Training with the UK’s No.1 construction training provider gives you everything you need for a rewarding, secure civilian career
There will always be a demand for qualified plumbers, gas engineers, electricians and renewable energy engineers. Our specialist resettlement training has helped many Service personnel make the transition to a successful civilian career. With OLCI, you can train for industry recognised qualifications in your chosen trade, then benefit from our experience and knowledge to help you start your own business or join a company.
Why services leavers choose to train with OLCI
At OLCI we really help and take care of our armed forces learners. Our flexible, high quality resettlement training is designed to support you every step of the way in building a successful new civilian career.
Train for industry recognised qualifications including City & Guilds, EAL, NVQ and ACS for registration with Gas Safe Register.
It’s easy to fit your training around your military or family commitments or train after leaving – you do your theory where and when you want and your practical training at your local OLCI centre, choosing dates/times to suit you.
Start training even if you’re posted abroad. Your theory can be done overseas so you’re ready for your practical sessions as soon as you return.
Start as soon as you’re enrolled – so you can profit from your new skills sooner.
You do your practical training in small groups with guidance and support provided by experienced OLCI tutors.
We can provide a complete training package, including arranging accommodation for you and providing travel advice.
If you’d like to set up your own business you can benefit from our knowledge and experience and receive advice on ways to get customers, organising insurance and doing your books.*
Alternatively, if you’d like to work for a company you could benefit from our industry contacts and we’ll try to match you with suitable vacancies. As a reputable company we cannot guarantee a job although we will do all we reasonably can to help you.*

OLCI Construction Training is a preferred training provider to the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), which provides successful resettlement services for those leaving the Armed Forces.
