Exciting news! TFT Woodexperts have just - as of 1st October 2011 - been accepted as the first Accredited Provider of training courses for the Timber Industry, on the technical aspects of specifying and using timber and wood products. You'll find other Providers who can run courses on Wood Machining and Sawmill Apprenticeships and the like: but TFT Woodexperts are the ONLY training organisation in the UK accredited by the Materials Production and Supply National Skills Academy, to deliver fully-accredited short courses on Timber Technology and Basic Wood Science, for the Timber Trade and the users and specifiers of wood and wood-based products.
We also deliver MPS National Skills Academy-accredited training on all aspects of Timber Grading qualifications - and we can award Certificates of Competence to Grade in timber products such as Scaffold Boards, Wooden Post & Rail Fencing and Tiling Battens. This last timber product is especially relevant right now - since the NFRC has just issued new guidelines, about the need to use only graded tiling battens on all new roofs in future. So if you need to be trained about the rules in BS 5534 - either as a potential supplier of Graded Batten, or as a Roofer using ungraded Batten that needs to be graded on site - then come to TFT Woodexperts! Just look on our website and follow our links to Training and then the National Skills Academy courses.
