TRADA Technology is offering a 10% discount for any of its 2012 timber strength grading courses booked by the end of February.

“Companies who employ qualified graders know how valuable they can be, if the grading of timber coming into the yard or perhaps more critically going out comes into question, said TRADA head of section Philip O’Leary.

“However, the market is tough and any investment, especially in training, needs to offer value for money.”

TG1 Visual strength grading – softwood will equip delegates to grade softwood to the visual strength grades set out in BS 4978: 2007 Softwood grades for structural use. At the end of the course they will sit an examination by BM TRADA Certification. Companies with certificated graders may then apply for licensed membership of the BM TRADA Q-Mark VSG scheme.

Courses will run on February 6-10, April 16-20, June 18-22, September 10-14 and November 5-9.
