Skills partnership
Building Our Skills has partnered with specialist fenestration training provider Pro-Fitter, and opened two new practical training centres.
The collaboration will see Building Our Skills acquire the digital assets of Pro-Fitter to enable courses to be delivered across its increased practical training centre network.
The Pro-Fitter team will work alongside Building Our Skills, promoting the courses to their existing customer base and to new installers interested in developing their skills. Courses range from beginner to advanced levels, and include areas such as surveying, and the installation of composite, bifold and patio doors, vertical sliding windows, aluminium doors and windows, bay windows, conservatory frames and roofs, and solid roofs.
John Ogilvie, director of Building Our Skills said: “We strongly believe that practical training is the way forward for the industry. Bringing the Pro-Fitter courses alongside our existing offering, and at the same time increasing the number of practical training centres where they can be delivered, is therefore a great step forward for the industry and demonstrates our commitment to raising standards in fenestration.
“It’s gratifying that we are able to offer training to support industry employees to do their jobs to the highest standards.”
