BTMA effort to challenge skills shortages 19/09/2007
 
In an initiative to help boost engineering skills, members of the BTMA (British Turned Parts Manufacturers Association) have devised a series of courses in conjunction with their technical members.

The courses are designed to take an employee with the right attitude and provide him with the necessary information to progress on to programming and setting CNC turning machines.

The cutting tool technology courses are well under way and the 1st of the Machine setter courses (Entry level) is now fully booked. The training department at Tornos UK is hosting this first course with other course dates planned in the coming months beginning to fill up and being shared between the other technical members.
