Training.

We have recently launched two important training projects.

The first scheme is called the BFA Training Support Programme which offers financial help to companies who can demonstrate :

•    a genuine need for specific training
•    a well thought out justification for the training programme

We are inviting applications from our members. The successful ones will receive appropriate  and significant financial support which will at least match funding from your company. The money will come from the BFA Development Trust, an organisation separate from the main BFA structure and not funded by it. “

The second initiative is to do with the development of a nationally recognised qualification for Technical Managers (the link between creative design and the factories). We have launched this in conjunction with Skillfast and are involving SATRA as well.
