PPL Training Celebrates the Opening of its Livingston Branch

PPL Training recently opened its new branch in Livingston, following its acquisition by the Apave Group.

The launch consisted of insightful industry speakers, comprehensive facility tours and invaluable professional networking. The inauguration was more than just a ribbon-cutting, it was a powerful statement on the Apave Group’s commitment to the UK market and to technical excellence worldwide. As one of the Group's most recent acquisitions, PPL Training is a pivotal piece of this larger, global strategy.

Spanning over 12,000 sq ft, the expansive size and design of the centre allows the business to create highly realistic training environments. This enables them to simulate complex practical scenarios with greater accuracy and detail, directly helping delegates gain the confidence, competence, and real-world readiness required to manage and maintain essential systems within modern facilities.

The significance of the Livingston Open Day was deeply reflected in the distinction of the guest list. The day invited key stakeholders and decision-makers from the northern regions, including Edinburgh Airport Authorising Engineers, Edinburgh University Officials, Local Councillors, and IHEEM Directors.

The Scottish centre is now operational, setting a new standard for practical facilities across the UK and overseas. 

Fundamentally the day represented a significant investment in the future of training in the Scottish regions and the local community. Catalysing professional development and industrial growth, the Livingston centre is strategically positioned to generate direct, lasting economic benefits for both the local community and surrounding businesses.
