The Construction Training Center (CTC) was established in 2003 by Employees’ federation: Federation „Construction, industry and water supply”– „Podkrepa” and Employer’s association: Chamber of the Builders in Bulgaria (former Bulgarian Construction Chamber).

The CTC was licensed by NAVET at the end of July 2004 for 10 professions with 27 specialties in total. The CTC was jointly established with the BCC’s company-members, as to organize, carry out, or provide vocational training, initial and advanced qualification courses for adults in its facilities in Sofia and nation wide. The joint training with practice was most welcomed in the workshops of Henkel, Knauf, Baumit and others.

The legal entity is licensed to conduct training courses for 1st and 2nd qualification level respectively on approved training programs and curricula. In addition to vocational training courses, Construction Training Center also carries out such courses for the part of the profession by means of modular training. The later are based on the conception that after attending various modular courses, the trainee has the possibility to claim having received the required qualification degree.

Each training ends with theoretical and practical exams. Trainees are then given a professional qualification or vocational training certificate.

In the monthly programs of the Construction Training Center must include events such as:

Coordinator on Health & Safety in Construction courses
Officers on Health & Safety
Seminars with topics of current importance for a given period of time

Our lectors are professionals from different Ministries, professors and associated professors from universities who, with their expertise on the topics concerned, import clear and profound commitment.

To get an idea of the diversity of the training activities of the CTC, we draw your attention to the number of trainees since the establishment of the training center to the time being:

The Coordinators on Health & Safety in Construction courses has been awarded with 1 551 participants
Vocational training on the part of professions for the executive personnel (Workers) – 1 678 persons
Health & Safety labour conditions courses conducted for the Executive personnel – 1 629 trainees
Participants in the seminars – 375 persons.

Total number of the attendees in the above mentioned events for the 6-year period is 5 312 persons.

This leads to the definite conclusions that participants who had completed various trainings in the Construction Training Centre had improved their skills, knowledge and their ability to take responsibility in their daily work.
TheConstruction Training Centre has actually contributed through its trainings to participants to promote managerial and executive staff of companies who sent them.

We express our conviction that the legal entity Construction Training Centre with its available resources can partner in vocational education and training of workers in the Construction industry. It is recognized by the general public in the country and has proven and won, by their actions and successes, an enviable place among the centers involved in vocational education and training.
