About the Trades e-Academy:

The Trades e-Academy is specifically structured to provide e-learning courses for Trades people.

Our aim is to create a 'one stop shop' of e-learning courses to fill the vital training needs of trades people from all professions:

• Induction and essential generic skills
• Job specific essential skills
• Trade specific skills
