BESA Skills Legacy Trainer/Assessor of Apprentices
Join the BESA Skills Legacy Programme – Advance Your Career with Fully Funded Training
The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) is addressing the critical shortage of trainers, assessors, and building safety auditors in the Building Services Engineering sector.Through the Skills Legacy Programme, we are recruiting 100 experienced professionals to mentor and develop the next generation of engineers; ensuring the industry's future is built on a foundation of expertise and safety.
We’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on our first completed participant: Jon Hogg from Ductbusters. Jon has successfully achieved his Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA) through our delivery partner Brooks & Kirk - setting the benchmark for the many candidates now following in his footsteps.
To celebrate this early milestone, we’ve hosted an on-demandwebinar in partnership with Brooks & Kirk, where Jon will discuss his training experience, what inspired him to take part, and what future participants can expect. It’s a great chance to hear directly from both the provider and the programme’s trailblazing first graduate.
Exciting Fully Funded Training
Thanks to theManly Trust (a charitable organisation dedicated to advancing engineering education), training costs are fully covered for the first 50 candidates who complete the assessment process. This support removes financial barriers and gives skilled professionals the chance to move into vital assessor and trainer roles.
Funding is limited and will be prioritised for those new to assessing or who otherwise wouldn’t have access to training.
