Resin apprenticeships all the rage
DUE to overwhelming demand from FeRFA contractors, a third apprenticeship scheme has been started in one year.
At the end of last year apprentices attended modules 4 and 5, giving an introduction to resin flooring and covering work practice and project planning. The sessions were hosted by FeRFA manufacturer Mapei in Halesowen.
Terry Foxley, FeRFA training officer, commented: ‘The apprenticeship scheme is the most cost effective way for employers to train future resin flooring operatives to a very high standard. The assistance we get from member companies hosting these sessions is invaluable. The facilities provided by Mapei and Instarmac have been excellent and make it a great learning experience for our apprentices.’
Not only does the FeRFA apprenticeship provide properly structured training, it is also fully grant funded through ConstructionSkills. Courses are available in In situ resin flooring and surface preparation, both leading to an NVQ Level 2 diploma within two years. Courses are also being delivered in Scotland, giving Scottish candidates access to specialist training as well.
The FeRFA website has comprehensive information on training and grants, including the apprenticeship schemes for in situ resin flooring and surface preparation, upskilling courses and NVQs.
