Divided into multiple modules, this online training resource provides:

  • Access to clear, concise and accessible knowledge training to support candidates’ practical experience.
  • Delivers consistent and up-to-date knowledge training.
  • Resource for delivery of guided learning in group theory sessions.
  • The facility to set tasks for self-learning and test retention of material.
  • Tracks and monitors progress of candidates throughout the programme.
  • Statistics and reporting data for management of trainees.

FIS Chief Executive Iain McIlwee said:

This is a learning resource that will support consistent delivery of the knowledge elements of both the apprenticeship and in support of those working towards assessment for a vocational qualification.  As we move into the new era of competence, the sector must have a more consistent approach to instilling knowledge in anyone joining our workforce and this is a vital step forward for competency in the drylining sector.

Steve Halcrow, director of e-Aptitude, added:

The STEPs team is proud to be partnering with FIS on a project that is so vital for the future of our sector.  High quality, consistent knowledge information is a key part of the training for a drylining apprentice and will be a powerful tool for employers and Training Providers delivering there apprenticeship.

FIS promotion of drylining training and our collaboration on this e-learning program, is a major step forward for our industry.
