Rural Crafts Training Faces Funding Crisis

Herefordshire College of Technology is closing its rural crafts skills training and apprenticeship scheme due to the withdrawal of government funding. The New Entrants Training Scheme (NETS), provides two-year block releases in forgework, furniture making, upholstery, wheelwrighting, wood machining or thatching. The forgework and thatching courses are of particular importance to the heritage sector. Funding for these courses has been withdrawn following the closure of the Learning & Skills Council, which was replaced on 1 April by the Skills Funding Agency and the Young People's Learning Agency.

Updated Bookshop

Now in association with Amazon.co.uk, the bookshop has been redesigned to make it faster to find and purchase the information you need, including a broad selection of recommended titles covering all aspects of conservation.
