Utility detection & avoidance
Our core one-day course goes by several names: Genny and CAT, Cable Avoidance, HSG47, EUS Cat 1. It's the same course and the same agenda; open whichever version matches the name you know it by.

EUS Category 1: why ours goes beyond it
EUS Cat 1 is a minimum spec. Every criterion quoted, what we add on top, and the same EUS card.

The second-stage practical day
Utility Location in Practice
For teams who already hold the one-day Genny and CAT course. Almost the whole day is spent outside, surveying two deliberately different types of street from start to finish, with every delegate assessed individually.

Cat 2 safe digging
From locate to excavate: planning the dig, breaking ground safely and exposing a real buried service on an assessed live dig. One course, two certification routes. Open the agenda for the one you use.
