PIA (Physical Infrastructure Access) enables communication providers to share existing access to the telecommunications infrastructure network to set up new fibre networks. Industry Training Services have recently gained approval to provide a range of Openreach accredited, PIA courses for communication providers.

Openreach specialised training is designed for engineers and contract partners working on the Openreach network. Our comprehensive courses equip you with the knowledge and practical skills needed to carry out civil works safely and efficiently, in compliance with industry standards. From trenching and ducting to safety protocols, our training ensures you're prepared for the challenges of working within the Openreach infrastructure.

The telecommunication industry has chosen Smart Awards as their awarding body of choice for telecom safety training.

Approved by Ofqual and SQA Accreditation, Smart Awards offer regulated qualifications in the UK and Ireland via several approved partners. ITS is the only public training centre in Ireland approved to deliver Smart Awards courses.
