BVAA: Training for the Next Generation of Valve Industry Professionals

Why BVAA Training?

BVAA is brand independent. The training is class leading, because it comes from within the industry, with no bias towards any one manufacturer’s products or design solutions.

The graphics, and range of physical models in our training facility, come from various BVAA members and are as current and authentic as you can get. 

Why invest in staff training – Online or Face-to-face?

The main advantage is that it provides employees with a breadth of knowledge across the industry. Delegates can then use this knowledge and apply it to their own company’s products and bring new ideas or potential new solutions to problems. It also improves safety. Furthermore, the training is CPD certified, demonstrating that an employee has attained a level of knowledge.

Who should attend?

The BVAA offers a range of quality technical training courses suitable for everyone in the industry, from graduates and those starting out in the world of work to experienced engineers looking for specialist and in-depth technician training. All courses are open to BVAA members (at significantly discounted rates) and non-members.
