Introduction

Sandwell Training Association is based in Sandwell in the West Midlands, and was established in 1963 by a number of local manufacturing companies in order to provide specialised training services to its founder companies. These member companies have grown over the years, and the range of training services on offer has developed to keep pace with the changing needs of local industry and commerce. In 1998, Providence Group Services, based in Cradley Heath, was incorporated into the Association, further extending the services that can be offered. Sandwell Training Association is a thoroughly professional training organisation, maintaining direct contact with over 350 local industrial and commercial companies, operating to the highest standards and offering an increasingly wide variety of training and development services.
