The initiative is part of the enhanced 2024-25 course year, set to begin on Sept. 1, with a new, user-friendly online registration page.
“We’re excited to offer this preview into our Distance Learning Program,” said Steve Faerber, training manager for UK Flour Millers.
“It’s a great way for potential students or students enrolling in another module to understand the value and breadth of our training program before selecting a module. Everyone should take advantage of this opportunity,” he added.

By offering these sample materials, the association aims to demonstrate the depth and quality of their training, ensuring that industry professionals are well-equipped with the skills needed for their roles.
