Working at Height

At 16m (52ft) high, the Training Tower enables Colchester Institute to deliver mandatory training qualifications to support regional growth sectors including telecommunications, rail, energy, utilities and general construction and engineering.

The College is only the second in the country to achieve City and Guilds accreditation for Working at Height & Tower Rescue programmes and we made the strategic decision to invest in this equipment to support a wide range of local and regional businesses in a number of industry sectors.
