GTG Training has moved to larger, state-of-the-art premises in Edinburgh. The new, purpose-built training and conference centre was officially opened today (4th February) by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh and long-distance cyclist Mark Beaumont.
Having been established in Edinburgh for more than 20 years, GTG will continue to offer expert tuition to clients and students through four training divisions; transport, automotive, health & safety and business skills. The new centre offers apprenticeship programmes, with initiatives to get young people into employment after training is complete.
Carol Henry, Group HR Director of Arnold Clark and Director of GTG Training said: ‘The opening of the new GTG Training and Conference Centre aims to bring greater education and learning opportunities to the Edinburgh area. It will bring work-relevant educational experiences for young people, and also give employers the chance to offer first class training to staff, improving workforce skills and encouraging professional development.’
The brand-new training and conference centre has 3000sqm² more than the previous site, which will allow for more training courses to be offered than ever before. The new facility will be managed by Liam McGeevor, and will bring Edinburgh in line with GTG’s other centres in Glasgow and Wolverhampton.
As well as offering extensive training facilities, the centre has flexible space that can be used for conferences, events and meetings. The venue can accommodate up to 200 guests and is available for hire by businesses and individuals. With an enviable location close to Edinburgh Airport, GTG Training & Conference Centre is ideal for commuting and easily accessible to visitors.
Other highlights of the modern new site include:
- 4 training suites
- Workshop area
- Driver training area
- 8617sqm² of training space
- Professional and experienced instructors
- Onsite restaurant
- In-house event caterer

At the exclusive launch event, guests heard from record-breaking long-distance cyclist Mark Beaumont, who shared his inspirational story. Attendees also had the chance to take part in taster sessions and experience GTG’s expert training for themselves.
