TRAINING

Training has always been core to the EFTA. The need to produce an independent form of training that would allow all those connected with the industry to quickly learn about the process has meant, that over the years, EFTA have developed a range of innovative solutions that would suit the industry . These have included residential training workshops at 2 Levels, In Company Bespoke Courses, Colour Training Courses and FACE Training CD's

EFTA has also developed Workshops specifically related to Lean Manufacturing, Waste Minimisation and Train the Trainer.
