In today’s construction industry, specification is about more than just choosing the right product - it’s about ensuring quality and consistency from design through to delivery on site. Fassa Bortolo, a global leader in renders, plasters and external wall insulation systems, recognises that even the best systems rely on skilled hands to achieve the performance and aesthetic they were designed to deliver. This is where the Fassa Training Academy and its network of Approved Applicators come into play.
Based in the UK, the Fassa Training Academy provides tailored technical training to applicators, contractors, and industry professionals. The programmes are designed not only to build technical understanding of Fassa’s full range of render and insulation systems, but also to deliver hands-on experience in a controlled environment. From monocouche renders to advanced external wall insulation solutions, the Academy ensures that applicators leave with practical skills, deeper product knowledge and the confidence to tackle projects of all scales.
For specifiers, this training provision is more than a benefit - it is a guarantee. By choosing Fassa’s Approved Applicators, specifiers and clients can be assured that systems are installed to the highest standards. Each Approved Applicator has undertaken rigorous training and ongoing assessment to demonstrate competence and consistency. This reduces installation risks, helps projects run smoothly, and ensures that Fassa systems perform as intended, meeting both regulatory and client expectations.
Another strength of the Training Academy is its collaborative approach. The sessions are designed to engage not only applicators but also architects, designers, and main contractors. This cross-industry engagement helps bridge the gap between design intent and practical delivery, while Fassa’s technical support team remains on hand to guide projects from specification through to completion.
In an era where sustainability and building performance are under increasing scrutiny, the role of skilled, properly trained applicators cannot be overstated. Fassa Bortolo’s investment in education and training demonstrates its long-term commitment to raising standards across the industry. For specifiers, the combination of high-performance materials, robust technical support and a trusted applicator network creates certainty at every stage of the project.
Whether you are specifying a façade solution, exploring the benefits of external wall insulation, or seeking high-quality renders with proven performance, Fassa Bortolo’s Training Academy and Approved Applicators provide the assurance of quality workmanship backed by over 300 years of heritage and innovation.
