The Bernhard Academy has announced details of its Autumn program of workshops, designed to provide essential skills and knowledge to turf professionals and those who operate maintenance equipment.
These workshops, created based on feedback from an industry-wide survey conducted earlier this year, will cover key topics of interest to professionals in the field of sports turf management.
The workshops will take place at the Bernhard Academy in Haverhill, Suffolk, in addition to other Academy hubs and selected locations around the UK.
Attendees of the Haverhill workshops will also be treated to the Bernhard and Company manufacturing facility, offering a unique opportunity to see the production of the famous Bernhard Express Dual and Anglemaster milling machines.
Sami Strutt, Academic Director of Bernhard Academy, said: “We are delighted to unveil this latest programme, which reflects the needs of the industry as highlighted in our latest research. The workshops are designed to equip turf professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to be successful in their roles, whether in the classroom, on their teams, or in the office. “
The Bernhard Academy has evolved from primarily offering unit setting workshops to now offering a wide range of courses that address the diverse needs of turf professionals. With the inclusion of topics such as turf management compliance and financial management, the Academy is now able to offer well-rounded workshops that benefit attendees in all aspects of their daily responsibilities.
This extended learning program ensures that turf technicians and equipment managers not only improve their technical skills but also gain valuable learning in better budget management and compliance, further enhancing their professional development.
The cost of each workshop is £165 + VAT, and places are limited. For more information and to book your place, visit: www.bernhardacademy.co.uk/courses
