                           Toolmaker Training

The Centre of Excellence for Advanced Toolmaking, situated within the
Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College, is now in its second year
of service. The primary role of the Centre of Excellence lies in the
training of UK Toolmakers, with the ultimate aim of enabling them to
better utilise modern technology.

All of our courses are designed to meet with current Toolmakers needs
and are delivered by experienced and competent training providers using
the latest state of the art technology. Due to our courses being
certified, a document will be presented upon completion of each
individual course attended.

The Centre is equipped with sophisticated technology that is of industry
standard and often found in the workplace of Toolmakers. It is this
equipment and software that the trainers will be using to teach those
who enroll on our courses.

The following schedule lists the course dates from January to July 2001.
Courses are usually limited to no more than eight people, and are
available on a "first-come, first-served" basis. The dates listed are
fixed, but the Centre can also offer customised courses to meet specific
training needs. Please contact Gordon Hooker (gordon.hooker@bcuc.ac.uk)
for further details.

This calendar is the first for the 2001 season, and will be reissued at
regular intervals in the coming months. If you require training in other
areas not listed here, please contact us and we will try to meet your
specific needs.
