A new online learning hub has been launched by Knipex, aimed specifically at those starting out in the trades. The Knipex SkillsForge is now live and gives apprentices free access to practical training content and tailored resources to help build skills, confidence and good working habits from day one.
To mark the launch, Knipex is giving away some top tools: the Knipex ComStrip and Knipex Cobra 180 mm. The ComStrip Automatic Insulation Stripper is described as an ideal entry-level tool, designed to strip solid, multi-stranded and finely stranded conductors quickly and reliably, while the Cobra 180 mm offers push-button adjustment and self-clamps on pipes and nuts for secure, effortless working. Just sign up via the SkillsForge page and, once verified, you’ll be automatically entered into the draw. There are 20 ComStrips and 20 Cobras available, and entrants can choose which tool they’d like to win when signing up.
Access to the SkillsForge hub is free and once signed up, users will receive a quarterly newsletter with updates highlighting new tutorials, upcoming giveaways and fresh resources as they are added. Apprentices will find step-by-step tutorial videos led by Knipex product experts, focusing on correct tool selection, handling and application on site. The content is designed to reinforce good habits early and help build confidence with professional-grade tools.
SkillsForge also includes resources to support classroom learning and training centre delivery, giving tutors practical material to demonstrate techniques and explain best practice. Built-in feedback surveys will allow Knipex to refine future content based on what apprentices and educators say they need.
