heritage skills academy
Weybridge
Founded by John Pitchforth in 2015 to meet a growing need for a younger
generation in the Heritage Industry. We have worked with education and industry
professionals to create and develop an apprenticeship standard which meets the
needs of employers, and allows apprentices to develop the skills and attributes
needed to thrive and succeed in a growing market. With the support of the
Federation of Historic British Vehicle Clubs, the Galashan Foundation and the
Starter Motor Charity, HSA has developed workshop and training facilities
dedicated to Heritage Engineering mechanical, coachbuilding and trim
apprenticeships. For apprentices lucky enough to become part of Heritage Skills
Academy, our locations within Bicester Heritage and Brooklands Museum provide an
exciting and vibrant environment which embeds them within the world of
specialist engineers, historic engineering and cutting edge technology. We don't
just deliver apprenticeship training; we have worked to develop a recruitment
plan which helps free up the time and resource of employers. We work with you to
make the recruitment and set up process as easy as possible and are always on
the end of the phone to offer support and advice when needed. We believe that
only by working together can we ensure the skills and knowledge of passionate
professionals are not lost.
