We started Logicom Hub® Ltd in 2018 with customers asking us to help change the way that dangerous goods training was delivered. We started by building our facilitative classroom training as well as developing interactive e-learning that could be completed on-line at a learner’s own pace and speed, but still maintaining the standards of the hazmat industry. In 2020 we jumped at the opportunity to work with the CAA to gain our virtual classroom approval.
Our team consists of a wealth of talents from within the dangerous goods industry, experienced training design and development and websites.
At Logicom Hub® we aim to provide interactive training so that learners can walk away feeling confident in the new skills and knowledge they have learnt. Our training is not built just to pass the exam but to ensure that the attendees can implement the knowledge in their workplace.
