The Distribution Sector Academy stemmed from our managing director's frustration at the lack of training in this sector.
Stevie Kidd then set the target for his company to provide a training course that would change people's views on the distribution sector forever.
It has become apparent, through the continued individual successes of our candidates and our rapid expansion across Scotland, that the course is far more than a training course - it is a means of turning lives around and starting them on a path of building a career.
The Academies cover mandatory core subjects such as customer care, understanding the importance of preparation, manual handling of objects, legislation, risk assessment, First Aid, interview techniques and mock interviews.
These core subjects are of paramount importance to ensure that each Academy candidate understands their job role and responsibilities.
However, each candidate can only be fully prepared for future employment if they are confident in themselves. The necessary skills knowledge, without the solid foundation of a self-confident and happy person, would have made the whole exercise pointless.
This is where the unique KDS Training approach to personal development raises our Academy above the norm.
Candidates are introduced to life maps, their wheel of life, soul searching, comfort zones and their circles of influence. They also follow our "Who Am I" model programme to gain a greater insight of themselves.
