Technical Training from Building Preservation Trade Body

Dec. 18, 2008 - PRLog -- For the first time, The Property Care Association (PCA) – which incorporates the British Wood Preserving and Damp-proofing Association (BWPDA) - has launched a new training prospectus.

The move comes as more and more property professionals seek to enhance their practical knowledge of property care issues.

Representing the damp-proofing, timber preservation, structural maintenance, structural waterproofing and flood remediation industries – the Association has an extensive training programme. It is also recognised for its technical expertise – which includes a specialist panel of experts able to deal with complex enquiries.

Training can often be delivered at clients’ own premises as an alternative to travelling to a designated centre.

Yasmin Chopin, director of the PCA, which has its headquarters in Huntingdon, said: “Our new training prospectus offers a comprehensive insight into the full range of training the Association offers.

“It is not necessary to be a member of the PCA to access all of our courses and our follow up research shows that the training is valued by a range of professionals including architects, construction professionals, surveyors, facilities managers, social housing managers and estate agents.”

The complete PCA Training Prospectus 2009 can be ordered by contacting eleana@property-care.org. Full details of the PCA training programme can also be found at the Association’s website at http://www.property-care.org/training-events


Ends

The Property Care Association (PCA) has been in existence for four years as part of the British Wood Preserving and Damp-proofing Association (BWPDA) but in 2006 officially became an independent association, along with the Wood Protection Association.

PCA contractors are authorised to use the Association’s new logo, and this can be seen in directories such as Yellow Pages, newspapers and other publications for identification to potential customers.

Although a relatively new trade body, the Property Care Association has inherited the stability and professional strengths of the BWPDA and its 75 year history.

This includes the choice of a long-term FSA regulated specialist insurance policy, and a UK-wide list of contractor members who are all carefully vetted before being awarded membership - and are then subject to rigorous auditing procedures once admitted to the Association.
