Ready for anything
It’s no secret that one of the biggest issues facing the UK flooring industry is the shortage of skilled labour, and this is a problem that’s only likely to get worse as the older generation hangs up its tools and finds fewer and fewer young hands willing to take up the trade. While the overall declining interest in practical trades is a matter to be addressed by all stakeholders – particularly at a Government level – flooring manufacturers and specialised training outfits have long been playing their parts to raise standards within the industry.
The Bostik Academy training centre is a state-of-the-art facility for construction professionals.
Conveniently located at Bostik’s Stafford headquarters in the Midlands, it offers tailored training programmes that are perfectly matched to your needs, whether you are a contractor, distributor, specifier, or an industry partner.
The facility features a sleek, modern lecture theatre for theoretical training, which can then be put into practice in our dedicated training area that includes custom-built features such as flooring bays, plus the technology and equipment for various practical demonstrations.
The Academy offers a mix of blended learning, interactive seminars, and the ability to host live streaming webinars, ensuring there is provision for a wide range of different types of training.
An online learning platform also enables attendees to consolidate their learning after the training sessions.
