LaPD Solutions is passionate about the skills required to transfer Skills, Knowledge and Understanding (SKU) to others.
We believe that trainers should not lecture their learners but instead use our tools to engage, interest, and even challenge them, making them inquisitive about the learning and able to reason out the new SKU to keep their brains engaged.
Our three to five-day course compares the lecture-based delivery that most trainers use to deliver their training to our Engagement Methodology and explains why it is significantly better for learning and retention.
We use the same session structure in our methodology to deliver these courses. Our CET structure is not rigid but rather adaptable to the dynamic situations trainers often find themselves in, especially when time is tight. This flexibility empowers trainers to deliver effective training regardless of the circumstances.
We discuss why question techniques are an incredibly powerful tool in the art of engaging our learners, and we look at when we should use specific techniques and even when we should not. We give time to practice this key skill, but please note that the three-day course has limited time for this crucial practice. The three-day version of this course is designed exclusively for experienced trainers, recognising their expertise and the experience they have acquired. Including inexperienced trainers is unfair to them or others on their course.
A comprehensive course manual (100+ pages) is supplied and used throughout the course to ensure attendees can find their way around and ask questions as they wish.




LENGTH - Two, three or five days, depending on experience and roles. But please contact us to discuss your specific needs so we can offer our advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who? - ANYONE involved in transferring Skills, Knowledge and Understanding (SKU)
People who are brand new into training - 5 days.
People who will be taking up a training role soon - 5 days.
Experienced trainers and facilitators (ideally two years) who want to adapt their current delivery style to our interactive and engagement methodology - 3 days.
People whose primary role is not training but will deliver training occasionally - 2 days.
Why? If you want your trainers to deliver engaging training that helps their attendees learn and retain new skills, knowledge, and understanding (SKU), then ensure they have been given the proper training to do just that.
Show your clients that you have invested in your trainers by ensuring they are all certified to deliver training and that their delivery is monitored and assessed to maintain those standards.
If you expect high standards of training in your organisation and given to your clients, then ensure you have the tools to do that and the ability for your senior trainers to assess their peers to ensure the consistency of quality, the monitoring of standards and the continuous development of all your trainers and facilitators.
Training Course Content
What is a Sat-Nav trainer, and why must we avoid this at all costs?
We discuss our recommended session structure and why it is designed that way.
We examine different question techniques and discuss what each is good for or why it should be avoided.
We look at our Task Based Objectives (TBOs) and discuss various reasons why they should be adopted.
We touch on learning styles to see what you think of each and how we can cater to them.
We take a good look at our SAS feedback model and why we think it must be facilitated and not given.
We help you plan and prepare for your final session for the last day using our Script Writing Guide.
We discuss why Emotional Intelligence is a must-have in your trainer's toolbox.
Attendees deliver their final mini sessions. We record them (HD). We offer one-on-one feedback. We chat as a group.
Course delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.
The three-day course is split into two parts. The first two days are together, then the third day a week (or more) later. This gives attendees time to plan, prepare and practice before delivering their final recorded sessions.
The five-day course is not required to be split as practice time is built into the 4th day. However, if it suits organisations better, we can accommodate a split between the fourth and fifth days.

One could argue that the perfect attendee in a Learning Centre is the one who comes in, manages everything by themselves and leaves without any need for assistance. If you have many of these, you are indeed blessed.
Turning your attention to the others who do occasionally or often need your assistance, these are the people we must feel confident we can manage in the right way.
Our informal approach to the course and to managing a Learning Centre and the learners who visit it will prepare even the newest Support Specialists for most situations within their working environment.
It is important that your learners complete their courses in good time, so ensuring people have the required skills means our completion rate should be excellent.
Training Course Content
We dip into Emotional Intelligence, what it is, its ingredients and how we can use it.
We ask all the Support Specialists to analyse everything you do to identify your many roles.
We discuss our SAS feedback model and help everyone understand why it is so powerful.
We discuss our Coaching Structure and how it can be adapted depending on the situation and learners' needs.
We investigate the issue of challenging learners, why they can be challenging and what approaches Support Specialists can take to manage this.
We discuss learner engagement and how we can motivate or demotivate people using our centres.
We discuss the many question techniques and their uses but focus on the Reasoning Questions for use in the coaching aspect of the last day and, more importantly, back in the centre.
Course delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

CAT & GENNY Training is designed for construction professionals and workers involved in excavation who need to operate Cable Avoidance Tools and Signal Generators. This training is ideal for individuals who have prior experience in excavation but require formal instruction on the safe and effective use of these specific tools to prevent accidental damage to underground services. Participants should have a basic understanding of excavation work, and if unsure of their eligibility for this advanced training, are encouraged to contact our training coordinators for more information.
The CAT & GENNY training program is divided into two main sections: a theoretical module and a practical application module. The theory part covers the principles of operation, safety procedures, and risk assessment associated with underground utility detection. The practical module provides hands-on experience with both the Cable Avoidance Tool and Signal Generator, emphasising field techniques and problem-solving. Upon completion of the Cat And Genny course, participants will receive comprehensive revision materials to reinforce key concepts covered during the training.



Introduction to CAT and Genny Training
CAT and Genny , also referred to as CAT & Genny or CAT and Genny Training, are essential tools used in the construction and utility sectors to help locate and avoid underground cables and pipes during excavation works. CAT, which stands for Cable Avoidance Tool, is designed to detect signals naturally emitted by metallic services like electrical cables. Meanwhile, the Genny, short for Signal Generator, is used alongside the CAT to apply a signal to underground utilities that do not naturally emit detectable signals, such as telecoms or fibre .
Understanding how to operate these tools is crucial for anyone involved in excavation. Proper use of CAT and Genny can prevent costly and dangerous errors, such as accidentally cutting through power lines or water pipes. The training not only focuses on how to use these devices effectively but also covers the best practices for scanning different types of terrain and interpreting the signals received. This ensures that workers can conduct their tasks safely and efficiently, minimising the risk of disruption and damage to underground services.
What Is CAT and Genny Training?
CAT and Genny Training provides comprehensive instruction on using Cable Avoidance Tools (CAT) and Signal Generators (Genny) to locate underground utilities safely. This training is critical to reduce the risk of accidentally striking underground assets during excavation, which can lead to severe safety hazards and financial losses.
What Does Our CAT and Genny Training Course Cover?
Our CAT and Genny Training Course covers:
Basics of operating CAT and Genny equipment: Understanding the device controls, functions, and proper handling.
Detection techniques: Learning how to detect different types of services, including electric, gas, and water.
Practical applications: Hands-on training with both simulated and live environments to practice safe scanning and detection.
Safety protocols: Emphasising safety procedures to prevent injuries and accidents.
Legal compliance: Overview of health and safety regulations related to excavation work.
Who Needs CAT and Genny Training?
CAT and Genny Training is essential for anyone involved in excavation and groundworks. This includes utility workers, construction workers, civil engineers, site managers, and anyone else who may need to locate underground utilities as part of their job. The Cat And Genny Course is crucial for preventing damage to underground infrastructure like gas, water, telecoms and electrical lines, which can result in costly repairs and dangerous accidents.
Do You Need to Be Trained to Use a CAT Scanner?
Yes, training is highly recommended to use a CAT scanner effectively and safely. While not legally mandatory, proper training ensures that operators can accurately interpret the scanner’s signals and avoid potential hazards when working near underground utilities.
Specialised Genny Tool Training
Course Overview: The Genny Course is designed specifically to train users on the effective operation of the Genny tool, a crucial component of the CAT and Genny system used for detecting underground utilities.
Key Learning Outcomes:
→ Understanding Genny Signals: Participants will learn how different signals can be applied and traced using the Genny, improving their ability to detect non-metallic utilities such as plastic water pipes.
→ Optimising Signal Strength: Training includes adjusting the Genny’s signal strength to suit various soil conditions and utility types, ensuring clearer and more accurate detections.

Practical Applications:
→ Hands-on Practice: Extensive field practice sessions are included to give participants real-world experience in using the Genny effectively.
→Troubleshooting Common Issues: Learners will be taught how to troubleshoot common operational issues to minimise downtime and enhance field productivity.

Advanced Techniques:
→ Using Genny with CAT4: Instructions on how to integrate Genny use with the CAT4 detector for enhanced detection capabilities.
→ Interpreting and Mapping: Skills in interpreting the Genny’s output and using integrated mapping tools for accurate utility mapping.

Safety Protocols:

Certification:
→ Qualification and Certification: Upon completion of the course, participants receive a certification that validates their proficiency in using the Genny tool according to industry standards.

Scanning Techniques with CAT and Genny
General Scanning Techniques:
→ Sweeping Motion: Always use a slow, steady sweeping motion with the CAT device. Begin scanning at least a few meters away from the expected area of the utilities to avoid missing any signals.
→ Directional Scans: Perform scans in multiple directions — both parallel and perpendicular to the expected direction of the utility lines to ensure thorough coverage.
→ Depth Perception: Adjust the depth settings based on preliminary scans to get an accurate depth estimate of buried utilities.
Specific Use of Genny:
→ Direct Connection: When available, use the direct connection method with the Genny to induce a precise signal into a specific utility line. This is particularly useful in crowded areas with multiple utility lines.
→ Induction Mode: Use the Genny’s induction mode when direct connections are not possible. Ensure the Genny is placed on the ground vertically for optimal signal transmission.
How to Use the CAT and Genny to Find Hidden Wires and Pipes
Getting Ready:
Check the Tools: Make sure the CAT and Genny are ready to use and have full batteries.
Set Up the Genny: Pick the right sound for the Genny to use so it can find wires or pipes under the ground. If you can, connect the Genny to the pipe or wire with a special wire.
Using the Genny:
Stand it on the Ground: Put the Genny on the ground where you think there might be something hidden. Turn it on to send a beep into the ground.
Connect it for Better Finding: Sometimes, you connect the Genny to something like a pipe for a clearer beep.
Using the CAT:
Start with Power Mode: Turn on the CAT and use the power mode to find beeps from wires that are on.
Try Radio Mode: Next, switch to radio mode to hear beeps from metal things like pipes.
Finally, Use Genny Signal Mode: Use this mode to hear the special beeps from your Genny to find hidden stuff like plastic pipes.
How to Look Properly:
Move Slowly: Walk slowly with the CAT over the area. If you move too fast, you might miss some beeps.
Check in a Cross Pattern: First walk in one direction and then the other direction to make sure you cover all the area.
Understanding What You Hear:
Listen to the Beeps: A loud beep means you are close to a wire or pipe. If the beep sounds the same as you move, it probably means you found a wire or pipe.
Staying Safe:
Look Before You Dig: Always check by looking in the hole to make sure what the CAT and Genny found before you start digging.
Keep the Tools Working Well: Make sure your tools are working right by checking them often.
500 mm from utilities; Always use insulated digging tools when close to underground utilities
