7 Short courses provided by FITA *

In the flooring sector, FITA is amongst a wealth
of private training providers and manufacturers
offering high quality training courses that sit outside

the traditional Government funding qualifications like
apprenticeships and NVQ’s. Simply put, there have
never been more options to engage with training
that there are currently in the sector.
Looking inwards at our own training centres
in Loughborough and Kirkcaldy Scotland, FITA
continues to see great engagement in training
across the whole sector The feedback from the
FITA Training Consultants reflect this, with tales

of earlier starts to courses and late finishes due to
delegates being so engrossed in the subjects being

a big step to engage with private training, financing

the training isn’t just the cost of the course, there is
the surrounding costs and the loss of earnings to
consider too.
What delegates take away from courses has to
provide an instant impact to their working life and
begin to not only repay the costs but provide the WHAT’S INSIDE THE APP?
