Manufacturer training

The roofing sector has for many years benefited from training not only through the apprenticeship route but also from direct training through the manufacturer.

Environmental requirements, new technologies and product development have required a more specialist approach to training for the resulting products and systems.

 

This very specific product related training has been provided by the individual manufacturers but has not been recognised by the industry for the award of a formal qualification system.

 

A series of specialist training modules are being developed with the sector to assist companies wishing to deliver training based on the requirements of the specific product, while meeting the needs of the generic vocational qualification system.

 

The modules would be designed to highlight both the practical skills and underpinning knowledge that have to be delivered, as part of an approved programme, to individuals who may wish to progress towards achievement of a National or Scottish Vocational Qualification (NVQ/SVQ).

 

Each module carries a reference to the N/SVQ unit or units to which it equates and towards which achievement a candidate can use the course attendance as evidence.

 

A single module does not necessarily mirror the total requirements of a unit of competence, and may need to be combined with training received from a further source such as on-site training provided by an employer.

 

Manufacturers or training providers wishing to offer such grant-aided courses, will be required to gain approval for all the courses within this series they offer, and details of how to apply for course approval can be obtained from any ConstructionSkills area office.

 

Financial support for those undertaking these training courses may be available from ConstructionSkills for registered ‘in-scope’ companies.

 

Employers − contact any ConstructionSkills area office for advice.

 

Manufacturers − contact national specialist team for advice.
