This will provide the opportunity to learn the main techniques and skills in laying out the frame, marking and cutting the joints, constructing the roof, making oak pegs and erecting the frame. This is a practical course using hand tools and also demonstrating the use of power tools. The course will cover traditional and modern framing techniques. There will be an introductory session on planning and managing a timber frame project and general discussion/ demonstration sessions but the emphasis will be on practical hands-on working. The course will be based in and around the workshop. NEW DATE 1st – 5th June Plumpton College at Flimwell Sustainable Food Farming and Forestry 8th January 2015 RDPE funding RDPE funded courses delivered in partnership with LANTRA. Eligible trainees will be able to attend our course at the reduced rate shown in red on the course list. There are a number of courses targeted at rural businesses to provide specific or complementary skills for rurally located businesses which includes rural tourism and diversifying farm businesses. This project is supported by the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) for which Defra is the Managing Authority, part funded (or financed) by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development; Europe investing in rural areas. Legislative It sometimes seems as if there is legislation in place for almost everything we do! At the Centre for Sustainable Food Farming and forestry, we want to try and make obtaining the necessary training and certificates, a less stressful task. We offer a wide range of courses but we are always open to ideas about new topics that we might cover. We can also arrange training courses just for you and your business. These can be tailor made and we will be happy to discuss costs, dates and locations for delivery. Lifetime Certificate in Food Safety CIEH Level 3 It is a legal requirement for food businesses to be registered with their local authority and it is then the responsibility of the local Environmental Health Officer (EHO) to visit these businesses to ensure they are able to demonstrate good food hygiene practices. Failure to do so could lead to your business being closed down or a court fine. To demonstrate your due diligence you may choose to attend a food hygiene course. Most businesses opt for the one day, level 2 certificate, but this needs renewing every 3 years to be of any merit. Business owners and managers might want to consider getting a lifetime certificate for themselves and their most senior staff. This course is particularly relevant for those who have to develop or monitor food safety management procedures and systems. Duration: Three-day programme 27th April – 11th May and 18th May 2015. Livestock Transport Certificates Short Journeys (under 8 hours). An essential requirement, if you transport animals, including horses, game birds and poultry for more than a 40 mile round trip for any financial reward. We run short one hour training session prior to the NPTC (National Proficiency Testing Committee) test. The training includes some example questions. More information is available on the NPTC and Defra websites. It is not a requirement that you undertake the training and you can apply to just sit the test.
