Practical Training Academy

Practical training is key to delivering a skilled workforce.  Our vision is to train the industry’s new entrants, as well as existing installers by offering outstanding training so they can choose to elevate their skills to the highest levels.

We have a growing number of regional centres to choose from. Each delivers a range of our courses, while a number of satellite centres deliver bespoke training – talk to us for details.
Some things you might like to know about our practical training programmes:

  • All our practical training courses are delivered by time served installers
  • All our trainers are formally qualified to deliver training
  • Our courses cover all relevant regulations, good practice theory and good practice practical training

I just wanted to email to say a big thank you to you to the team for the practical training course. I really did enjoy it and feel I got an awful lot out of it. I found it very informative and just what I was looking for with a good balance of theory and practical. I thought the guys were excellent at delivering the course.

All the best to you and Building Our Skills for the future roll out of more courses, based on what I experienced I’m sure they will be a great success. I will definitely keep an eye out on your website for future courses as there is certainly a lot of scope for development into different courses.
