Wednesday 30 November saw the Academy host its third provider event at the home of FESTO in Northampton. The annual event brought together Academy Accredited Training Providers from around the UK to network and receive updates from the Academy Team and Board Members. This year's theme ofmaximsing business performanceproved to be very popular with those attending.

Neil Smith, Academy Network Development Director said,"The day is a great opportunity for providers to get together to discuss the year ahead and to hear first-hand from the Academy about new opportunities in 2012."

Neil continues,"It's always a productive session and another chance for us to let providers have their say. Over the years we have been able to shape our service offering to suit providers and so we place a high value on the two way communication."

In 2012 the Academy will be introducing more regular regional meetings. If you would like to get involved contact Heather Smithson, Provider Account Manager.
