  • Sponsors show their support for training
    Published:  20 April, 2006

    Sponsorship support for the first Building Controls Industry Association (BCIA) Training Awards Ceremony has been overwhelming, reports Doug Robins, BCIA President. “Sponsors for the six award categories were identified within a few weeks of publicising the event, which clearly demonstrates the value that our members place on good, independent training. Until the Association developed the current generic-based training scheme, which offers two levels of qualification, engineers had to be recruited from other industries and then retrained in-house, which was patently unsatisfactory.”

  • BCIA rewards excellence in building controls
    Published:  23 March, 2006

    This year will see the establishment of the first Building Controls Industry Association (BCIA) Training Awards Ceremony. The success of the BCIA technical training programme, which has been running for only three years, has led to 800 module certificates being awarded. “The demand has been outstanding,” said Doug Robins, BCIA President, “and has far exceeded our expectations, which clearly demonstrates the high regard in which building controls engineering is held within the building services industry. To date the training programme has awarded 126 Technical Certificates and 54 Advanced Technical Certificates and each student has earned their qualification by successfully passing an examination at each module stage.”
