by businessequip on 24-May-2013 14:24:57

On the 1st August the funding rules change and some of the training currently funded will no longer be supported. So now is the time to act. FaCT has secured more funding to enable more people to be trained before these changes are implemented.
We have funding for:

• Lead installers and supervisors who need a Gold FISS/CSCS card – places are limited
• Machinery drivers who need to upgrade their Red CPCS card to Blue
• Fencers who need to renew their FISS/CSCS card and require health and safety training.
• Fencers who need to upgrade to a Blue FISS/CSCS card. If they are under 25 years old, the business can receive £1500 from the government as additional support.

ACT NOW and call FaCT on 0121 476 4731.

This funding will change after 1st Aug so act now!
