	Training



	For many years we have been involved in specialist training for conservators and curators, including: Conservation maintenance courses for the care of outdoor sculpture (practical demonstrations and lectures) for The National Trust. Training in the care of metalwork in historic house collections run by The National Trust. Training for emergencies and disaster planning for The National Trust and English Heritage. We can also work with your staff to establish guidelines for the cleaning and care of your collection, with hands-on training and demonstration of cleaning techniques and the ongoing monitoring of condition.
