Event summary

Join EAL for a morning of connection, sharing ideas and exchanging best practices in Building Services Engineering.

EAL are delighted to invite you for this free pilot networking event at Bath College's Somer Valley Campus.

This event is designed to be informal, collaborative, and discussion-led and will bring together educators, assessors, curriculum leaders, and training providers to explore:

• The developments surrounding BS 7671 Amendment 4
