New FITEC training programmes have shown real returns to companies' training investment. They also boost employees' confidence and play a substantial role in improving business success.

In the new wood manufacturing qualifications, for example, FITEC's Level 3 and 4 core skill unit standards teach trainees how to collect data and apply problem-solving skills that achieve tangible outcomes. Project work and presenting the results are an integral part of the learning and assessment requirements.
