BAL Training Centres to extend their reach through partner training providers.
Leading tile adhesive and grout manufacturer, Building Adhesives Limited has announced ambitious plans to expand the reach of its renowned BAL Training Centre programme through a franchise package. The landmark move will see other training providers able to offer branded BAL courses at their centres, following a standardised and proven curriculum encompassing both wall and floor tiling. David O’Neill, managing director at Building Adhesives commented: “The decision to offer our courses as a franchise package is something we have considered for a long time – as we believe our training centres provide an essential service to the industry By creating the franchise package, we can help other quality training operations to provide the same standard of training and assessment as we offer on our premises.”As the tiling industry continues to debate the best way forward in terms of training, BAL will offer training providers a structured and proven curriculum for a variety of courses catering for the complete spectrum of skill levels. The long-established training programmes have led the BAL Training Centre to be named as a Centre of Training Excellence by The Tile Association, and the operation has been highly commended by the National Training Awards. Each BAL Training Course Franchisee will be offered a training programme for each course, teaching tools and resources, marketing materials and even adhesive and grout product to use for training. To maintain standards, BAL will operate a stringent policing policy for all franchisees to ensure the guidelines are being followed to the letter.David O’Neill continued: “Our franchisees will be supported with exactly the same materials as our own training centres use – creating a universal curriculum across the network. We will police the franchise agreement regularly to ensure each provider is maintaining our high standards, giving the candidate great peace of mind when undertaking training courses.”
Established in 1992, BAL has seen over 5000 candidates pass through the doors of its training centre, and aside from training programmes the operation offers NVQ Level 2 Assessment though both the on-site assessment (OSAT) and new Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA) routes.
BAL are already seeking potential training partners, and the first BAL Training Course franchisee is expected to be announced in the coming months.
