Learn To Be Woodwise! A New Training Academy In Bristol!

Jon Gibson of Didac Ltd, a specialist training provider into the woodworking sector is pleased to announce the opening in July, of a brand new training academy at Crews Hole Road, Bristol. The Woodwise Academy will offer a training facility to Employers, Schools, Colleges, Connexions and Job Centre Plus learners looking to develop their individual or personnel skills in traditional timber trades. The Woodwise Academy has been made possible through grant matched funding won by Didac Ltd through the Learning Skills Council. Jon Gibson, Managing Director of Didac said, ‘ There has long been a need for specialist training provision with the Woodworking sector that is able to deliver quality training and qualifications required by employers both on and off of their sites. This facility enables us to deliver a broader range of skills in a bespoke training workshop, but also enables us to expand our delivery to encompass groups of people like the unemployed or school based learners wishing to take courses in the Construction and Manufacturing Diplomas.’  The Woodwise academy will deliver traditional wood machining, tooling management, woodworking, furniture, kitchen manufacture and upholstery in workshop areas supported by a range of training suites to deliver theory and relevant CNC or IT skills. Didac Ltd, an approved City and Guilds centre for over 15 years will use the Academy to expand the provision of certificated qualifications into industry, tailored to employer needs. Didac Ltd is already recognised as one of the leading training providers in the UK timber sector and the Academy has already attracted both nationwide and overseas interest. Jon Gibson added, ‘We are continually developing our range of provision and we pride ourselves on delivering quality qualifications. We firmly believe the Woodwise academy will become recognised as the UK Centre of Excellence woodworking training provision.’ Contact: Jon Gibson – Didac Ltd Tel: 0117 9049377 Email:
