About CoLa Training
Practical training. Real experience. People you can trust.
Since 2004, CoLa Training Services has helped businesses and individuals across Lincolnshire and the UK develop the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to work safely and effectively.
What started as a business founded by two friends, Richard and Stephen, has grown into a family-run training company led by Stephen and his sons, Adam and Nathan, alongside a dedicated team of experienced instructors.
We're proud of our roots, but we're not standing still. Today, we deliver a wide range of accredited workplace training — from forklift and plant machinery courses to first aid, health & safety, compliance and online learning.
More than just a training course
We believe good training should do more than tick a box.
It should give people the confidence to do their jobs properly, help businesses meet their responsibilities, and ultimately make workplaces safer.
That's why we focus on training that is practical, straightforward and relevant to the real world. Whether you're an individual looking to gain a qualification or a business training an entire workforce, our aim is the same: to make the process simple and give you training you can genuinely put into practice.
Experience you can rely on
We're accredited by recognised awarding and training organisations including AITT, Lantra Awards and Highfield Qualifications, and our instructors bring practical experience as well as professional training expertise.
Our training centre is based in Boston, Lincolnshire, but our reach goes much further. Through our network of qualified instructors, and online training, we're able to deliver training for businesses throughout the UK while maintaining the same standards you'd expect from CoLa.
A family business with a modern approach
Being family-owned matters to us.
We know our customers, we care about the quality of what we deliver, and we're proud of the reputation we've built over more than two decades.
At the same time, we're continually expanding what we offer — from traditional classroom and machinery-based training to online learning and new business skills programmes.
Our goal is simple: to help people become safer, more capable and more confident at work.
Whether you need training for yourself, a small team or an entire workforce, we're here to help.
