Free Training Resources to Help You Succeed

Here at Utilities Training, we believe great training starts before you even step into the classroom. That’s why we provide a comprehensive library of free industry-recognised resources to help you prepare, build confidence, and get the most from your course.

Our carefully selected materials are aligned with current legislation, industry standards, and best practice—giving you a clear advantage whether you’re new to the sector or refreshing existing skills.

You’ll have access to the HAUC (Highways Authorities and Utilities Committee) Specification, a key document for anyone involved in street works and reinstatement. This resource helps you understand the standards required for compliant, high-quality work on the highway.

We also provide Safety at Street Works and Road Works – A Code of Practice, an essential guide for safe working on public roads. It covers critical topics such as signing, lighting, guarding, and protecting both operatives and the public—knowledge that is vital for passing assessments and working safely on site.

For traffic management, our resources include the ARTSM Guide to Using Portable Traffic Signals, offering practical, easy-to-follow guidance on setting up and operating temporary traffic lights safely and effectively.

To further support your learning, we include a range of documentation from the NJUG (National Joint Utilities Group). These materials promote best practice when working around underground services, helping you reduce risk, avoid damage, and work more efficiently.

In addition, you’ll benefit from selected publications from the Health and Safety Executive, covering key topics such as risk assessment, excavation safety, and legal responsibilities.
