The Structural Timber Association (STA) has been awarded Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation for its Installer Training Scheme, recognising the programme’s quality and commitment to professional development.
The accreditation confirms the STA’s Installer Training Scheme meets the rigorous standards required by the CPD and provides professionals with an industry recognised qualification, certifying their ongoing knowledge, skills and career progression.
The STA’s Installer Training Scheme provides sector specific learning support for timber frame and Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) installers to give them the required knowledge to assemble and erect structural timber buildings to the highest standards.
“Gaining CPD accreditation for our Installer Training Scheme is an important milestone for the STA as it demonstrates the quality and relevance of our training courses,” said Andrew Orriss, CEO of the Structural Timber Association.
“The skills and knowledge we’re offering enables us to help shape the construction workforce of the future and underlines the STA’s commitment to learning and development within the sector.”
Gerard Lockey, Director of Mint Construction and STA member, said skills and training were vital to the continued growth and success of the timber frame industry.
