Timber training programme (on-demand)

The BWF has developed a series of half-day training modules which provide a more practical alternative to other courses on the market that focus on technology and theory. All modules included in the Programme are CPD accredited.

Below are the module choices for the TTP Course:

Module 1 Understanding softwoods and hardwoods

This module, developed with the needs of joinery manufacturers in mind, covers the principles of sustainable growth, sorting and timber selection, and how to choose materials that are fit for purpose.

Module 2 Treatments and coatings

Why treat and coat timber? This module provides the answers, explaining the types of preservative treatments available and highlighting the choice of coatings and application techniques.

Module 3 Sustainability

This module focuses on the production, purchasing and use of sustainable timber. It provides a wider understanding of the role that responsible timber procurement plays in environmental protection, how sustainability means more than just environmental issues, and the ways in which businesses can organize their own systems to prove the origins of the timber that they use.

Importantly, delegates will also be shown simple methods of harnessing their existing business data to prove traceability and potentially to prepare themselves for supply chain certification.

The Timber Training Programme is now operating in an on-demand capacity. If you would like to run the TTP for your staff or would like to register your interest, please email Dave Campbell, WITForum Manager here
