It includes a module on wood waste and resource efficiency, which aims to help businesses make better use of their timber resources from procurement through to disposal.
The module is the first in a series that BWF is offering via the academy, providing a modern alternative to physical training solutions. Future subjects will include joinery estimating and fire doors.
Dave Campbell, BWF Marketing and Training Manager said: “Taking time out for training is particularly difficult for small businesses, as it often means downing tools for a day. It was clear after trying to run physical workshops on wood waste that we needed to adopt a different approach…
“E-learning seemed the best solution to reach as many companies as possible, offering them a flexible learning approach that individuals can complete wherever they are.”
The Timber Resource Efficiency Partnership (TREP) has produced the training materials for Wood Waste as part of its work towards achieving the aims of the Joinery Industry Resource Efficiency Plan. Project Management for TREP John Fletcher said: “This module is the first step in businesses dealing more effectively in the timber procurement and disposal processes, saving themselves money as well as bolstering the industry’s environmental credentials.”
Access to the online academy is currently free to BWF and TREP members, £25+VAT per person for Timber Trade Federation (TTF) members and £50+VAT for others.
