The latest exciting game-changer for EBUKI sees us taking the Jump! Training for Trainers approach out to educational institutions.

Ebuki have developed the ECVET Learning outcomes, the National Occupational Standard and the JUMP! Training for Trainers.
With these tools we are increasingly looking to both vocational and professional training bodies to implement our outcomes.
This means working with further and higher education bodies to create groups of teaching and training staff with earth design and build skills and knowledge.
We believe it is only with this level of 'institutional memory' that earth can be properly implemented as a taught and assessed subject.
We have delivered training on site and virtually.
This is both a source of income for Ebuki and a training ground to bring highly sustainable material into the mainstream of design and construction.
