Here at Vosseler (UK) Ltd we understand the need to keep your skills and knowledge up to date.

We are able to offer CPD in conjunction with the FIS. The FIS represents specialists in all aspects of the interior fit-out and finishes sector.

FIS was formed in 2015 from the merger of the Association of Interior Specialists (AIS) and the Federation of Plastering and Drywall Contractors (FPDC). By coming together as one strong organisation, they are a powerful and unique voice for the sector. Their growing influence is based on the support they give to members, their ability to share knowledge for, and about the sector, their determination to drive high standards and to encourage a sense of pride in the quality of the members’ work. See their website for more detail.
