After the launch of their
construction qualifications, GQA Qualifications Ltd welcome their first
construction training provider, B&J Assessment Services LLP.
B&J are a private training
provider based in Kent offering a range of qualifications and tailored training
for the construction industry. Sandra
Baker, B&J Centre Co-ordinator said “Our sister centre, IVS, have delivered
GQA’s well respected glass qualifications for years and highly recommend working
with GQA, so it was a natural progression”.
GQA Construction related
qualifications were approved from the 1st of October 2012 and cover occupations
such as Painting and Decorating, Plastering, Wood and Trowel occupations and
Site Supervision. These qualifications are all work based qualifications, which
help to prove the competence of construction workers. Gaining a GQA qualification can lead to an industry
competence cards such as the CSCS card and the GQA Q-Card -the holder of a Q
Card can clearly prove that they have skills and competence to carry out their
job to a nationally recognised standard.
Mick Clayton said “Whilst we are known for our expertise in glass,
centres have been requesting that we offer construction related qualifications
for some time, so that they can continue to benefit from the same level of
advice, support and guidance across a wider range of qualifications”.
B&J
will start to offer the range of construction qualifications in November and
are keen to introduce them to the construction companies who they work closely
with. B&J don’t need to advertise
their training, which is testament to the good rapport they have built with
their construction customers over the years.
