In 2015 & 2016, Hermitage Limestone Ltd. hosted the YTEPP Heavy Machinery Operations programme in defined areas of it's quarry site. This allowed the YTEPP trainees to get actual on-site experience in the environments where they would eventually work in.

Hermitage has a dedicated "Training Room" at the quarry which YTEPP was able to utilize. This training room, Hermitage has freely opened to anyone wishing to do training or presentations with relevance to the quarrying sector.

Hermitage also allowed the trainees the opportunity to interact with their experiences operators and use Hermitage's equipment under their supervision to gain more real-world experience.
