An Extra Training Feather to our Cap
Pleased to say our invasive weed courses have a new ‘feather to add to their caps’. We are VERY PROUD to have been recognised, approved and now registered under the BASIS Professional Register.
What does this exactly mean? Well, along with some GREAT LEARNING, for those that pass you now have the extra weight of authority and certification through the BASIS scheme for attending certain courses. As an extra ‘Brucie Bonus’ all those that attend can now claim vital CPD points too!

On this course Paul will be discussing how to design specify ventilation systems that meet the requirements of Part F of the building regulations and evaluate existing systems against the standard. The course will allow surveyors to take the guesswork out of specifying fans and ventilation units.
