GTC move to BIGGA House

This month the GTC moved offices to join the BIGGA team at Aldwark Manor Hotel.

GTC's Education Director, David Golding, said: "We're very delighted to have moved offices, even though we're still at Aldwark Manor, it gives us the chance to share best practice with colleagues at BIGGA house".

Approved Training Provider Workshop

The GTC will be holding an Approved Training Provider Workshop at their new headquarters at Aldwark Manor from 23-24 June.

The workshop will give GTC Approved Training Provider representatives the chance to meet key personnel from organisations, including Awarding Bodies NPTC and SQA. The agenda, set by the GTC, has been designed to ensure quality education and qualifications continue to be available to employers and greenkeeping students.

David Golding GTC's Education Director adds: "A workshop style format ensures best practices are exchanged throughout the British Centre Network and following past workshops over the years we expect it to be a very productive 24 hours".
