Training centres
Four training centres of our own, in Stoke-on-Trent, Manchester, Liverpool and Derby, plus tutors who travel to your site anywhere in the UK. Here is what each centre is like and how to find it. Each one has its own page with every date running there.
Where we are
Four centres, and one within reach of most of England
Acadame Stoke-on-Trent
Stoke-on-Trent · Trent House
Trent House is our head office and our busiest centre. Locally it is still called Vicky Road: the old Npower building just up from McDonalds, opposite the entrance to Fenton Industrial Estate, five minutes from the A50 and ten from junction 15 of the M6.
Inside there is a staffed reception, a free car park at the door, and bright training rooms that take a full class without anybody sitting behind a pillar. There is breakout space to take a call in, a kitchen, and a cafe on site.
Most of our CITB, IOSH, NEBOSH and first aid work runs from here, and it is where our NVQ assessors are based, so if you want to talk a qualification through face to face this is the one to come to.
Trent House, 234 Victoria Road, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent ST4 2LW. Every course date running at this centre, along with full directions and contact details, is on the Stoke-on-Trent centre page.
- Free parking on site, step free from car park to classroom
- Staffed reception, cafe and breakout space
- Head office: NVQ assessors and the booking team are here
- A50 five minutes, M6 junction 15 ten minutes
Acadame Manchester
Manchester · Europa House
Europa House sits on Barcroft Street just off Peel Way, a five minute walk from the Bury Metrolink and a short drive from junction 2 of the M66. If you know the Rock shopping centre or Peel Way retail park, you are already there.
It is the easiest of our centres to reach without a car, which is why a lot of Greater Manchester and north Lancashire delegates pick it. Parking is on site and the rooms are bright and open.
Everything we run in Stoke we will run here if the numbers are there, so if a date you want is not listed yet, ask.
Europa House, Barcroft Street, Bury, Manchester BL9 5BT. Every course date running at this centre, along with full directions and contact details, is on the Manchester centre page.
- Five minutes' walk from Bury Metrolink
- M66 junction 2, next to Peel Way retail park
- Parking on site and step free access throughout
- Open, airy training rooms with breakout space
Acadame Liverpool
Liverpool · Kingsway House
Our Liverpool centre is in Widnes, on Kingsway in the middle of town, just up from the Tesco superstore and a short walk from Kingsway Leisure Centre. Coming over the Silver Jubilee Bridge you carry on up through town and it is on your left.
That puts it inside twenty five minutes of Liverpool, Warrington, Runcorn and St Helens, with the Mersey Gateway on the doorstep for anyone coming from the Wirral or Cheshire. Parking is free and on site.
The rooms here suit practical work as well as classroom sessions, so it takes a good share of our first aid, abrasive wheels and manual handling dates.
Kingsway House, Caldwell Road, Widnes WA8 7EA. Every course date running at this centre, along with full directions and contact details, is on the Liverpool centre page.
- Central Widnes, free parking on site
- Under half an hour from Liverpool, Warrington and St Helens
- Mersey Gateway and Silver Jubilee Bridge both close
- Rooms set up for practical as well as classroom work
Acadame Derby
Derby · Pride Park
19 St Christopher's Way is on Pride Park, just off Pride Parkway and a short walk from Derby railway station. Straight off the A52, and the M1 is ten minutes away at junction 25.
Reception is on the door, the training rooms are proper rooms, parking is at the door, and there is a coffee shop on the estate.
It is our East Midlands base and covers Derby, Nottingham, Burton and the wider M1 corridor, which makes it the sensible pick if Stoke is the wrong side of the A50 for you.
19 St Christopher's Way, Pride Park, Derby DE24 8JY. Every course date running at this centre, along with full directions and contact details, is on the Derby centre page.
- Short walk from Derby railway station
- A52 direct, M1 junction 25 in ten minutes
- Parking, reception and meeting rooms on site
- Covers Derby, Nottingham, Burton and the M1 corridor
Or we come to you
Training at your place, not ours
Almost everything we run in a centre we will also run on your site, anywhere in the UK. For a group of six or more that usually costs less than sending people out, and nobody loses half a day travelling.
You need a room that seats the group and a wall to project onto. We bring the tutor, the paperwork and the accreditation, and certificates come back to us to register and issue.
Where the awarding body allows it we also deliver live online, with the same tutor and the same certificate as the classroom version.
- Same accredited course, same certificate
- Group rates from six people
- Most onsite courses booked in within two to three weeks
- Live online where the awarding body allows it
Questions we get asked most
Whichever is easiest to get to. The course, the tutor standard and the certificate are the same at all four. Dates differ, so if your date matters more than your postcode, open each centre page, filter for the course you want and book whichever comes up first.
Yes, at all four, and it is free. Stoke and Derby have their own car parks. Bury and Widnes have parking on site with more within a short walk if we are busy.
Photo ID, and your joining instructions if you have them. CITB, NEBOSH, IOSH and first aid all require us to verify identity before you sit the course. Course materials are included in the price.
8.30am unless your joining instructions say otherwise. Allow a few minutes to find the building and sign in at reception.
Yes. Nearly every course we run in a centre can be delivered on your site anywhere in the UK, usually within two to three weeks and at a group rate. Tell us the course, the numbers and roughly where you are.
Usually yes. The lists on the centre pages come straight from our booking system, so they show what is already scheduled rather than everything we can run. Call 0330 124 2165 or email hello@acadame.co.uk and we will put a date on.
We deliver nationwide, so the answer is normally yes, just not in one of our own buildings. Tell us where you are and what you need and we will run it near you or at your site.
Still deciding
Not sure which centre or which course?
Tell us what you need and roughly where you are. We will point you at the right course and the nearest date, and if none of them suit we will look at running it on your site.
