Coming soon! Free weights and measures training days
A new partnership between CTSI and the UK Weighing Federation (UKWF), due to go live soon, will offer trading standards trainees the chance to visit a wide range of manufacturers of weighing instruments to gain both theoretical and practical experience of inspection.
These training days will be offered free of charge and will take place at weighing manufacturers' premises across the country. They will be accessible to all students. In the morning, trainees will be provided with a theoretical classroom session explaining the technologies involved and the legislation applicable to the instruments. The afternoon will offer a practical session where you will be able to gain hands on experience of how the instrument operates and how to undertake a verification and inspection.
CTSI and UKWF hope these training days will provide a valuable opportunity to help gain experience for your portfolio and the examinations. A schedule of training days on offer, alongside links to book, will be available mid-summer on the CTSI training booking pages. While priority will be given to trading standards trainees, the intention will be to open up this training offer to any trading standards officers seeking to refresh their knowledge and experience.
Watch this space and the Head Office newsletters for more information coming soon.
