Are you a fitted interiors specialist considering employing an apprentice?

Support and guidance is available via our strategic partner, whether you just need some help and guidance or would like a fully managed service.

Skills Hub

Training is vital to ensuring that the our existing workforce continues to learn and develop throughout their career, keeping their skills and knowledge up to date.

BIFIS recently introduced the Fitted Interiors Skills Hub - a training portal which connects tradespeople to a range of online and in-person training courses, specifically designed for those operating within the fitted interiors sector. 

Courses cover a broad range of topics and are delivered exclusively by BIFIS stakeholders and, in most instances, are free for learners.

Retraining

The British Institute of Fitted Interiors Specialists works with a number of strategic partners, including the Ministry of Defence, via its Armed Forces Convenance, in the creation of retraining opportunities for those wishing to transfer skills into the fitted interiors sector.

The programme is designed to support the industry in its recovery from the skills gap by drawing those with highly transferable skills into our industry at pace. Our work with the Armed Forces and our pledge to The Armed Forces Covenant is not only a contribution to the wider skills gap solution, but it demonstrates our intention to support those who have dedicated their life in service to our country.
