Lift Industry Open Days – Connect, Learn & Launch Your Career
Our Lift Industry Open Days are the perfect opportunity for aspiring lift and escalator professionals to connect directly with employers, explore career opportunities, and get a feel for what it’s like to work in this high-demand sector. These free-to-attend events for our Graduated Job Seekers are sponsored by the Lift Industry Training Group and are held once a year in collaboration with our Employer Network and hosted at convenient hotel venues across Greater London.
Free
Place
If you are currently unemployed, you may qualify for a fully funded place through the UK Job Centre Plus office.
This option makes your training completely free, allowing you to develop valuable, industry-recognised skills without financial strain.
To get started, simply contact us and complete a short eligibility form. Once approved, you can begin your training and take the first step toward your new career.
Company Sponsored
Some employers are willing to invest in training new recruits or supporting existing staff to strengthen their skills.
If you’re already speaking with a company in the lift industry, or planning to join one, it’s worth asking whether they might fund your training.
Although this route is less common, it can provide a direct, supported pathway into employment and ongoing professional development opportunities.
For those who prefer independence, you can secure your place by funding it yourself.
This straightforward route ensures you remain fully committed to your training and future goals.
Many of our learners choose this path when they want to take charge of their own progress and move quickly into a new career.
Course fees per individual are £2,495 (Inc. VAT), covering all materials and certification.
Buddy
Bundle
If you know someone else who’s also interested in building a future in the lift industry, you can train together.
With this bundle, one person completes the booking for both, keeping the process simple and convenient.
It’s a fun and motivating way to share the journey, learn as a team, and celebrate success together.
Course fees for 2 people are £2,895 (Inc. VAT), including all training costs.
Group
Bundle
For those with a few friends or colleagues interested in joining, our group bundle is the ideal choice.
One person manages the booking, and everyone attends the same course dates.
This collaborative approach not only makes the training more affordable but also helps create a strong support network.
Course fees for 3 people are £3,495 (Inc. VAT), offering excellent value and shared learning throughout your training experience.

Lift Industry Training & Career Pathways
The lift and escalator industry offers one of the UK’s most stable and rewarding career routes, with high demand for skilled workers and excellent long-term prospects. At the Lift Industry Training Group, our mission is to prepare motivated individuals for success by giving them the training, confidence, and connections they need to begin a new career.
Three Days to Launch Your Future
Our intensive three-day training course provides a solid foundation in both the practical and theoretical aspects of the lift industry. You’ll cover essential areas of learning covering dozens of example in the lift industry journey you’ll encounter in the job.
The course is delivered by seasoned trainers who have spent years working in the field. They understand what employers are looking for and share insights that can’t be found in textbooks. Many of our previous delegates have gone on to secure roles with established lift companies, subcontract on projects, or even pursue self-employment.

Lift Industry Open Days
After completing your training, you’ll be invited to attend one of our Lift Industry Open Days, held later in the year once a group of delegates are ready. These exclusive events connect newly trained candidates directly with employers who are actively recruiting.
The Open Days provide a valuable opportunity to meet face-to-face with lift companies, ask questions, understand workplace expectations, and in some cases, secure interviews on the day. Attendees also hear real success stories, meet mentors, and build networks with others starting out in the industry.
Take the First Step Today
Spaces for training are limited and demand is high. By joining us, you’re not just attending a short course, you’re investing in a complete pathway that takes you from training to networking to real employment opportunities.
Your journey into the lift industry begins with three days of training. From there, the possibilities are wide open.
