SAFT UK Spring 2024

Monday 15th April 2024 to Thursday 2nd May 2024

SATRA will be holding the SATRA Accredited Footwear Technologist (SAFT) training course between 15th April and 2nd May 2024. 

The SAFT (SATRA Accredited Footwear Technologist) award is an internationally recognised qualification, and is clear evidence that you are a footwear technologist with a proven range of knowledge. The full SAFT course covers up-to-date information in nine modules covering key areas of footwear manufacture. The laboratory accreditation module was new for 2023 and a sports footwear module will be introduced later in 2024. This Spring 2024, we will be covering the seven original modules detailed in the syllabus available via the link below. Each module is led by a SATRA specialist and covered in detail during two days’ intensive training including comprehensive documentation.

Successful modern manufacturing processes rely on accurate practical information and the ability of staff to understand and apply such information. In a global and competitive marketplace, knowledge and skills are increasingly important. SATRA has designed this member-only training course for all technologists involved in any aspect of footwear production.

Accreditation

Once the course is complete, SATRA will notify you of the next opportunity to take optional written examinations. You must obtain a pass in five of the seven modules if you wish to receive a SAFT accreditation.
