About Didac
Didac Limited has been a training provider since June 1997, when the company was founded.
Didac has established a reputation for delivering quality training that is second-to-none. Many of our courses are monitored by leading training institutions, including City & Guilds, Learning & Skills Council and Ofsted.
An important step forward came in August 1998, when the company became an approved Work Based Learning Provider for Apprenticeships. Since that day, accreditation has followed accreditation and Didac is now at the pinnacle of training provision within the furniture and timber industries.
Initially providing services to CNC machine users, Didac has expanded to offer a wide range of training and consultancy services and pride themselves on keeping abreast of the latest requirements and opportunities presented in the world of learning.
