The future of our industry is reliant on education. Training, learning and development is the only way we can reverse the effects of the current skills gap crisis that the KBB sector is facing. Sponsored by Quooker, BiKBBI is committed to driving change to deliver a sustainable future workforce for our industry, focusing on apprenticeships, CPD and retraining.

Apprenticeships is the longer term solution to the current skills shortage and is the entry pathway to our industry. We now have a fit-for-purpose apprenticeship standard, suitable for education leavers as well as those looking for a career change.

Continued Professional Development (CPD) is vital to ensuring that the existing KBB installation workforce continue to learn and develop throughout their career and keep their skills and knowledge up to date as well as learning new skills and discovering new products and techniques.

BiKBBI Campus is available to everyone and contains a number of online training courses specifically designed for tradespeople operating within the KBB sector. Courses are delivered exclusively by BiKBBI stakeholders and, in most instances, are free for installers.

We also work with a range of third parties, including manufacturers, suppliers, strategic partners and corporate sponsors, to promote other training opportunities via our CPD directory.
