The accreditation recognises the quality and relevance of the ITS programme, which is designed to support installers working with timber frame and structural insulated panel (SIP) systems. The scheme provides structured, sector-specific training covering key areas including installation practices, health and safety, and regulatory compliance.
The recognition reinforces the importance of competency and training in delivering safe, compliant and high-quality timber frame construction. As demand for timber frame continues to grow across private housing, affordable housing and self-build sectors, ensuring a skilled and knowledgeable workforce is critical to maintaining standards across design, manufacture and on-site installation.
The ITS forms part of the STA’s wider commitment to improving competency across the structural timber supply chain, alongside initiatives such as STA Assure, its independently audited Quality Assurance Scheme.
The news has been widely reported across the construction and timber sectors, including coverage by Forestry Journal, Builders’ Merchants Journal and Premier Construction News, highlighting the growing recognition of structured training and accreditation within offsite construction.
The CPD accreditation of the Installer Training Scheme provides additional confidence to developers, housing providers and self-builders that timber frame systems are supported by robust training frameworks and industry-recognised standards.
