AMHSA’s training sessions are generally open to both members and non-members with reduced rates for AMHSA members. Some of our training courses carry CPD accreditation and will earn training credits / hours. Please check each individual course on our website as they are published.

AMHSA events are generally booked online through the AMHSA Event Booking site.

We continue to monitor the progress of the U.K.’s plans, efforts and approach towards the pandemic, political and economical and European events, making balanced judgements and taking appropriate decisions in relation to our efforts to deliver a rich, varied, interesting and beneficial programme of events. As “in-person” events return we shall, for now, continue to punctuate our programme with online events where appropriate and sensible to do so, delivering benefits and knowledge to members. 

Future events will be posted in due course. In the next couple of months our Training Workshop will be hosted by, our partner, Toyota Manufacturing UK, from their Burnaston site which will include tours of the Apprenticeship Development Centre (ADC) and the car assembly hall.

We shall also, once again after a short covid absence, be hosting the AMHSA Sporting Challenge Charity Day.

Further details to appear soon. Watch this space.
