It was constituted in 1998 to review the provision of training in archaeology and to co-ordinate future strategies to meet the profession’s training needs.
The site also has details of the ATF Training Award, the call for nominations for the 2015 Award is now open and details of how to apply are available at http://archaeologytraining.org.uk/atf-award/
The Archaeology Training Forum Award recognises and promotes best practice in training or professional development in archaeology. The award aims to recognise excellence in the fields of learning, training and professional development and is open to archaeological organisations, individuals, partnerships and collaborative projects throughout the United Kingdom, whether paid or voluntary.
Entries must demonstrate an overall commitment to learning or training, and an innovative approach to best practice – such as the BAJR Archaeology Skills Passport ( hint hint).
