All the latest news from the industry will be available to approved training providers through a GTC seminar in January.

The GTC will be inviting all its providers to the updating seminar during Harrogate Week 2007. The invitation-only event will offer delegates the chance to hear updates on all aspects of turf qualification including the very latest news from organisations such as the Lantra Sector Skills Council, awarding bodies NPTC and SQA, Government funding bodies and the GTC.

"Many employees of the approved training providers look to the GTC for support and guidance in the delivery aspects of turf qualifications," said Education Director at the GTC, David Golding.

"And in return we have sought an input from subject specialists in all the materials developed to improve the standards of greenkeeper education and training, such as a training manual and learning materials.

"The seminar will be an excellent opportunity for debate and to exchange ideas all aimed at improving greenkeeper education, training and qualifications," David said.

Admittance at the event is strictly by invitation only. More information is available from David Golding on david@the-gtc.co.uk or by telephoning 01347 838640.
