UK FLOUR MILLERS OFFERS ONLINE TRAINING RESOURCE SAMPLES, BEGINNING THIS WEEK


Flour millers and other industry players can sample online Distance Learning Programme resources before registering for a course


Employees interested in UK Flour Millers’ Distance Learning Programme can now access learning samples from each of the seven modules. Flour millers, employees in roles across flour mills, and other industry players in the United Kingdom (UK) and overseas can access these resources online.


UK Flour Millers, the trade association for the flour milling industry in the UK and Ireland, is a global leader in milling-related training and development. By providing access to these sample materials, students in the 2024-2025 course year can learn more about the Distance Learning Programme offerings.


Individuals can explore a public-facing version of UK Flour Millers’ Virtual Mill, along with sampling resources for the seven Distance Learning Programme modules. This initiative is part of the enhanced 2024-2025 course year, set to begin on 1 September 2024, with a new, user-friendly online registration page.


“We’re excited to offer this preview into our Distance Learning Programme,” Steve Faerber, UK Flour Millers’ training manager said. “It’s a great way for potential students or students enrolling in another module to understand the value and breadth of our training programme before selecting a module. Everyone should take advance of this opportunity!”


The Distance Learning Programme’s revamped training materials and Virtual Mill provide an immersive learning experience designed to meet the needs of modern flour milling professionals – but it is open to other employees as well. For over a century, UK Flour Millers has enhanced the programme to reflect the industry’s demand for skilled professionals.


Flour millers, employees working in other positions at flour mills like engineering, sales, health and safety, and beyond, and other industry players like those working in fuel, baking, packaging, and many more are encouraged to view the sample resources, download the Distance Learning Programme course guide for more information, and register for a module before 12 August 2024.

The flour milling industry plays a vital role in feeding and nourishing the nation – flour is an ingredient in approximately one-third of supermarket foods, shown via Ascential data. Furthermore, 99.8% of UK households purchase bread according to Kantar worldpanel. Flour mills operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week to ensure that bakeries, food manufacturers, restaurants, and retailers have the flour they need to make food for the nation.
