A huge step forward for FITA as apprenticeship delivery begins at the Loughborough training centre!

It is fantastic to announce that FITA is finally able to state that apprenticeship delivery is taking place at the training centre in conjunction with Webs Training Ltd.

With the support of Webs Training Ltd, a leading training provider based in Nottingham, FITA's training and delivery options at the centre now include apprenticeship delivery in the East Midlands for prospective employers. FITA is working with Webs to ensure that this delivery sits alongside the best in the country, and we could not think of a better main provider to be working with.

Apprentices will work on developing new skills knowledge and behaviours with the support of their employers. Over the three yar apprenticeship they will spend blocks of time at FITA alongside working with their employer to build the necessary attributes a floorlayer needs to fit floors to the highest standard. Apprentices have access to materials, tools and resources courtesy of our fantastic sponsors, and these enable them to learn and develop their talents in an environment where they can concentrate and hone their skills before going back to their employer to build on those skills further in real site environments.

Delivering these apprenticeships would not be possible without the support from industry manufacturers, providing access to a wide range of tools, materials and equipment to help in the delivery of training. Nothing is too much trouble, and all sponsors and supporters are happy to help ensure the apprentices have access to all that they would need to learn what is required for their job roles.

This is the first step in a new route for FITA and something we are keen to grow, so if you would like more information about employing, supporting or becoming an apprentice in the floorlaying sector then please get in touch.
