Why Train?

Leather upholstery is now a major part of the furniture being sold into the domestic market.

Before the rise in popularity leather classification was relatively straightforward Pigment, Aniline, Nubuck/Suede.  Now that the furniture industry is more driven by the fashion industry than practical consideration the range and variety of finishes has exploded with new varieties being introduced every year.

Leather as a product is basically the same item, in most cases what changes is the surface finish it is given to alter the look and feel of it.  It is this surface finish that technicians, cleaners and sales personnel alike have to be able to identify and service.

Many businesses have seen the benefits of good informative training.  These include Members of the Association of Independent Stores (AIS), Members of the NCCA, Members of the Association of Master Upholsterers (AMU), FIRA, Independent Inspections  and many other manufacturing, retail and service groups as well as individual technicians and cleaners.

LTT offer a variety of courses to suite specific areas of the market:

• Courses for Service Technicians, Upholsterers and Cleaners
• Courses for Warehouse Managers, Delivery Staff and Repair Technicians
• Course for Retail Sales staff
