DLPTF

General information

The Dry Lining & Plastering Training Forum (DLPTF) exists to support National Dry Lining & Plastering Companies (including walls, floors, ceilings insulation & steel frame system organisations)

Our aim is to identify individual company needs, seek to understand, facilitate & deliver a quality bespoke service for interior fit sector specialists.

Established in 2012 as a not for profit body & funded through annual membership fees. The DLPTF is supported by the CITB and the FIS. It is governed by an elected committee & operations are overseen by a dedicated Training Officer, serving nationally. Members share learning & development experience with others in the sector, gaining access & funding to sector specific & commercially necessary training, through expertise that is not available anywhere else in the marketplace.

The CITB Construction Skills have ring-fenced funding to the forum since January 2012. Furthermore the DLPTF anticipates additional funding for the ‘Training Strategy’ which will support Apprenticeships, Specialist Upskilling Programme, (SUP’s) Training & On Site Assessment Training. (OSAT)

Our diverse membership includes companies from:
• Dry Liners

As a Collective Organisation the forum operates to;
• Identify needs led training
• Organise, coordinate and attend training
• Create opportunities to develop relevant training programmes
