A partnership between GQA and IVS Training & Assessment has resulted in the formal upskilling of 13 members of staff at Droylsden Glass.
The employees have succeeded in achieving a Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Fenestration Installation, a statement said. This GQA qualification is suited to those leading a team of installers or undertaking complex projects, it noted.
Kevin Thackeray, managing director of Droylsden Glass, said: “We’re a company that values its staff. We insist on professionalism across every aspect of our work. We place a great emphasis on staff development, and it’s been great to see 13 of our employees gain their new qualifications. Our thanks go to GQA and IVS for their involvement in this initiative.”
Nick O’Brien, director of operations at IVS Training & Assessment, added: “Congratulations to Kevin Thackeray and his staff at Droylsden Glass. I’d also like to thank Phil Douglas, GQA’s EQA/technical officer for his support throughout this project.”
With GQA Qualifications being part of the CSCS Alliance, IVS were also able to assist the successful candidates with obtaining their GQA CSCS gold Q-card as supervisors.
In addition, Droylsden Glass’s operations manager also achieved a Level 3 Diploma in Occupational Works Supervision. GQA Qualifications is the only organisation issuing CSCS cards for the glass and glazing industries.
