Cytech breaks records (again) and new prices for ACT members

Posted on 12 Nov 2020

cytech logo The Cytech technical training programme has grown despite the lockdown closure of training centres globally during Spring/Summer. 

The Cytech technical training programme, created by the ACT, is now delivered on 4 continents, with Cytech qualified technicians operating in 46 countries. Cytech certified candidate numbers are over 10% ahead of last year, with many courses now pre-booked well into 2021.

New training centres are planned to open internationally in 2021, but the UK is again leading the skills programme roll out, assisted by the updated Cytech cycle apprenticeship programme launched this summer.

Cytech theory one demand is also now up over 300% in the UK year to date.

 

Theory one: new trade pricing

Following the ACT's recent restructure, Gold members now get 2/3 off the RRP & Silver members get 1/2 off the RRP.

In addition to this, for a limited time only we're offering the course at 3/4 off the RRP for the whole trade. Simply use the code NEWACT on cytechtheoryone.co.uk and get started!

The restructure means that full annual ACT membership is now available for £60p.a. the equivalent of just £5p.m.
