BACH enables and empowers Construction Heads within Further and Higher Education to achieve the very best outcomes for their students and colleges. In over 30 years BACH has gone from strength to strength and now has an enviable tradition of delivering excellent CPD and networking opportunities. Most Members face the same challenges from Staff shortages to Defunding Level 2 and BTECs. Or from applying the New Apprenticeship Standards to having the time to create new courses for Retrofit and NetZero.
If you lead Construction Training in the UK, at a college, university, private training provider or in-house you should join the Best Informed Construction Heads. Become a Member
BACH does not just identify the issues, it is building support from the likes of CLC, CITB and CCAFT to influence the Government and other decision-makers.
