AFI Opens New Training Centre
Following a substantial investment, AFI has opened a new training venue near Birmingham. The Midlands Training Centre offers IPAF and PASMA working at height courses, and will provide skills and safety training from early October.
The new centre, at Brickhouse Lane,
West Bromwich, is just minutes from the M6 motorway and can provide training for up to 70 delegates at any one time. The centre comprises extensive indoor and outdoor practical training areas and four training rooms.
AFI Chief Operating Officer David McNicholas said that AFI decided to launch the new Midlands Training Centre as a result of the success of the group’s UTN Training Centre in Wakefield. “Our Wakefield open course centre has been the blueprint for this new centre and for our other open course centres at London East and Liverpool. We have a large and very loyal customer base in the Midlands and we want to ensure that they receive the very best training facilities and services. Our substantial investment in this new centre will mean that it will become a centre of training excellence for AFI.”
