Funding for your training is just around the corner!
Skills Development funding will reopen on Tuesday 3rd May 2022.
The funding will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
At this stage our funding is limited and as a result, we will be restricting the amount of funding per trainee. Once we have allocated the funding to Training Agreements we will close the scheme.
Please be advised that we may not be able to fund your requirements.
What does this mean for you?
If you have been registered and paid the registration fee previously and would like to continue this registration, please email us with your Business ID & Name.
We will contact you by email to confirm your registration status. You do not have to pay a registration fee again.
If you completed a registration form previously but did not pay your registration fee you will need to complete the Registration Form and pay the registration fee.
If you have not completed a registration form with FFF before you will need to complete the Registration Form and pay the registration fee.
The cost of registration will be:
£75 + VAT for a self-employed person
£125 +VAT for a business with PAYE employees, woodland owners, or community woodland groups.
Supported Training and Qualifications
We have refined our supported training and qualifications list to focus our support.
Before you commence your registration or skills evaluation, please check that the training and/or qualifications you require are still supported here.
Please do not include training and/or qualifications that you are unable to complete before 31st March 2023 or if training you require is not listed here.
Training Agreements
All former Skills Development Training Agreements have been closed, upon registering/renewing you will be required to complete a new skills evaluation.
We have spent time streamlining our processes further so you may notice some changes to our forms and processes. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
Notifications
Your training provider will need to submit the notification form via our Training Provider Portal. We will no longer accept the PDF previously used.
Notifications will re-open on Tuesday 10th May 2022. All notifications must provide at least 28 days' notice and be no further than 3 months in advance of your course.
Further details of the Skills Development funding process and full Scheme Rules can be found here.
Please Note: We have a smaller team now, as we work part-time and from home, our preferred method of communication is by email.
