GQA are
delighted to welcome back Martin Sadler to the Technical Team here at GQA.
Martin was
part of the EV team with GQA prior to leaving to take up a full-time position
in the public sector around 3 and half years ago. Whilst moving out of the
glass and related industries, Martin’s new role saw him continue in
accreditation and qualifications, looking after the quality of training
delivery, records and associated course documentation, and trainer development
Martin, who
was also previously Training Manager at Building Envelope specialists, Schueco,
has over 25 years of experience in training, development and assessment as a
trainer, training manager, assessor, internal verifier and external verifier
and joins us in the position of Technical Officer and External Quality Advisor
(EQA). He joins the existing team on supporting and advising the GQA network on
delivery of our qualifications to a high standard. This will involve
Martin taking on responsibility for external quality assurance of a number of
Approved Centres, primarily in the South of England. Martin will also be
heavily involved in the development of supporting material for centres,
including putting together a series of CPD events for centres which will help
them with both assessment and internal verification and also with industry and
technical knowledge.
On his
appointment, Martin said, “It’s great to be back under the #BigGreenQ banner,
with the opportunity to get back into the fenestration and construction
industries that I have spent most of my working life. Having been involved for
over 25 years in training on a range of subjects from health and safety to solar
panel installation and from effective assessment practices to building
regulations, I will be able to pull on this experience to be able to help centres
to develop by putting on CPD events in these areas. I am looking to put
together some really interesting sessions, some of which will be live events,
some will be webinars and also developing resources to help centres where
necessary”
Sean
Hayes GQA Technical Manager said” I am delighted to have the opportunity to
work with Martin again, he will bring a fresh pair of eyes to the business and
his skillset will complement that of others within the team. After a couple of
weeks’ relatively gentle reintroduction we have some projects in mind for
Martin to get his teeth into”
GQA CEO, Mick
Clayton, said of the Martin’s appointment, “I’m really pleased that we had the
opportunity to bring Martin back into the team, he has a wealth of experience
in our core industries, and he has remained a believer in what we are trying to
achieve here at GQA. He will undoubtedly add to the skills and experience we
already have within the Technical Team and I look forward to him beginning work
with our network of centres”
