Is Building Services Training Available Online And Face-To-Face? Yes. BESA Academy offers online, face-to-face and blended learning depending on the course and the skills being developed. Some knowledge-based training can be completed entirely online, while practical or competence-based programmes may require attendance at an approved training centre. Course pages explain the delivery method, duration and any practical or assessment requirements.

Can Training Be Tailored To My Business Or Workforce? For larger, specialist or more complex workforce development requirements, BESA can discuss training and skills programmes designed around the needs of an employer, project or sector. This can be particularly useful where businesses need to develop several roles, address specific skills gaps or create a structured workforce development programme rather than purchase individual courses.

What Certificates Or Qualifications Will My Employees Receive? The certificate, qualification or recognition awarded depends on the course. Training may lead to a BESA Academy certificate, an industry-recognised certificate, a regulated qualification or another form of competence recognition. The relevant course page explains what employees receive after successfully completing the required learning, assessment or practical elements.

Can BESA Academy Help With Apprenticeships And New Entrants? Yes. BESA Academy supports employers developing new talent through building services apprenticeships and structured training pathways for people entering the industry. Apprenticeships combine employment with technical training and competence development, helping employers build the skills their business will need in the future.
