Technical Training from Building Preservation Trade Body

A trade association representing the UK’s building maintenance sector has produced a guide to its training courses.

For the first time, The Property Care Association (PCA) – which incorporates the British Wood Preserving and Damp-proofing Association (BWPDA) - has launched a new training prospectus.

The move comes as more and more property professionals seek to enhance their practical knowledge of property care issues.

Representing the damp-proofing, timber preservation, structural maintenance, structural waterproofing and flood remediation industries – the Association has an extensive training programme. It is also recognised for its technical expertise – which includes a specialist panel of experts able to deal with complex enquiries.

Training can often be delivered at clients’ own premises as an alternative to travelling to a designated centre.

Yasmin Chopin, director of the PCA, which has its headquarters in Huntingdon, said: “Our new training prospectus offers a comprehensive insight into the full range of training the Association offers.

“It is not necessary to be a member of the PCA to access all of our courses and our follow up research shows that the training is valued by a range of professionals including architects, construction professionals, surveyors, facilities managers, social housing managers and estate agents.”
