BCF Signs Partnership with Princeton Academy to Deliver Coatings Training in India

With India being one of the key global growth markets for the coatings industry, the British Coatings Federation (BCF) has signed an agreement with the Princeton Academy to represent the Coatings Training Institute in India.  The Princeton Academy have an outstanding reputation working with coatings and other sectors across India, and the CTI is the established leading distance learning solution for the coatings industry, now present in over 25 countries.

Late last year, BCF’s CEO Tom Bowtell visited Mumbai, meeting key players in the Indian Paint Association and Paints and Coatings Skill Council, and selected Princeton Academy as the local partners to establish the Coatings Training Institute as one of the key training solutions to support the new Indian Paints and Coatings Skill Council.  

Rinku Arora, Director of the Princeton Academy said “We’re delighted to be the local delivery partner for BCF’s Coatings Training Institute programme, which will include the provision of local tutors for students.  Our website www.thecoatingsinstitute.in is up and running and we’re raring to go!”

Tom Bowtell added “This is a major milestone in our growth around the world in terms of the delivery of our training programmes, and we see the CTI as a key solution to the major need in India to upskill the chemists that are going to be needed to meet the demands from the biggest and strongest growing market globally.  We now have experience in over 25 countries, and our relationship with Princeton Academy gives us the opportunity to establish a strong position in India.”
