BCIA appoints training partners for controls

The Building Controls Industry Association (BCIA) has appointed two organisations to work alongside the association to deliver its well-known training courses to a wider audience. They are Sontay and British Gas, both BCIA members, which become training partners. Sontay will offer courses from its headquarters at Edenbridge in Kent. British Gas courses will be delivered in Rotherham.

The courses will all contain the same content wherever they are delivered, and the BCIA will continue to be the sole issuer of course certificates.

Karen Fletcher, executive training officer, comments, ‘We have seen demand for courses grow. Following enquiries from some members, the BCIA decided to take on training partners to ensure we can continue to deliver the courses to our industry. They will also help to ensure that the courses are kept up to date and relevant for the fast-moving controls industry.’
