Less than a year after its debut, the U.K. Heritage Skills Academy — the country’s only accredited institution teaching auto restoration skills — has secured government funding allowing it to revamp its course offerings and extend those courses to adults as well as youth.
As announced earlier this week, representatives from the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs were able to secure the funding from the U.K.’s Education and Skills Funding Agency. Specifically, the funding will enable the Heritage Skills Academy to meet updated criteria for the government’s Trailblazers program, which encourages groups of employers to collectively set standards for apprenticeship programs relevant to their industries.
Classic and modern auto restoration has a new curriculum, and federal funding, in the U.K.
