What COTAC does

COTAC was formed in 1959 to improve the standard of education of everyone involved in building conservation, including craftsmen, professionals and home owners.

You can find details of COTAC's work and conferences on these pages, as well as details of other courses appropriate for homeowners, contractors, conservators and professionals.

COTAC works closely with the National Heritage Training Group, English Heritage, Historic Scotland, Cadw, the Northern Ireland Department of Environment, the professional institutions and the amenity societies. COTAC provides the administation for the Edinburgh Group, which is the UK forum of professional accreditation schemes
