For many years, Sontay had been running its own training courses and CPDs with great success. In 2014, The Sontay Academy was set up as the natural progression to build on the foundation Sontay already had in educating people in our field. The company has also recently become an official training partner of the BCIA with sessions run by an approved trainer. Most courses are held at the Sontay Academy’s training facility in Edenbridge, Kent but tailor-made courses for individuals and companies are also available and can be set up through local account managers.
