Training Academy Enrols More Students

Since promoting NVQ?s in June last year the Gelder Group?s Training Academy has made impressive progress.  Headed by Group Training Manager Mike Johnson the department?s main priority has been to bring the Gelder workforce inline with government training guidelines.

The Group?s aim is that by 2012 all employees will be qualified to a minimum of NVQ level 2.  This programme has so far been rolled out to include the group?s insurance, repair & renovation division.  All members of the department from Contracts Manager to Insurance Coordinators will be undertaking a range of NVQ from Business Management to Customer Care.

Mike Johnson Group Training Manager commented ?I am delighted in the response we?ve had so far from our staff to achieve a recognised qualification.  Our aim in 2009 is to work closely with Lincoln College to get our trades personnel through the O.S.A.T Scheme (on site assessment and training), to get an NVQ in their relevant trade.  This achievement will mean the whole Gelder Group workforce will posses a CSCS cards by the target date of 2010.

The Academy is proving extremely popular with all members of staff, pictured below are a selection of managers receiving IT training.
