Primary Engineer is a national not-for-profit organisation placing engineering at the heart of primary school classrooms and its courses are delivered to over 2200 teachers annually impacting on thousands of pupils and their families.

Since its inception, the organisation has developed a sophisticated programme from one-day practical training days to masters level courses and creating links to engineers along the way – several BFPA members including Webtec and Bosch Rexroth Limited have already become involved in the programmes and we are actively encouraging our members to become involved in this excellent scheme.
