Howells Patent Glazing is pleased to announce the
launch of its GQA approved Rooflight Familiarisation Workshop. This is
the first GQA approved rooflight course in the UK.
Open to all, the six-hour, fully accredited workshop
provides a valuable insight into the construction of aluminium rooflights and
is designed to improve technical and practical understanding.
Trainees will learn about the components, assembly and
installation of the company’s slimline rooflight, with hands-on experience.
The familiarisation course draws on the company’s 40+
years’ in the fenestration industry, with examples of do’s and don’ts and what
to look out for. It is relevant to sales representatives and installers
alike.
Successful completion of the GQA approved Rooflight
Familiarisation Workshop will result in a Howells certificate of attendance and
the opportunity to gain a GQA certificate and skills card.
With Centre Approved Status, Howells will host regular
courses at its base in Cradley Heath, Birmingham. Alternative locations
are available on request. The workshop is provided by GQA accredited
trainers, ASPIRE.
As an approved centre, Howells is guided, supported
and audited by industry experienced External Quality Advisors (EQAs), giving
peace of mind that the workshop remains fully compliant at all times.
Places are
chargeable and limited to six per training session, with one session per
month. The charge can be claimed back against the purchase of a Howells
hipped rooflight.
The company recently hosted an open day to formally
mark the launch of the Rooflight Familiarisation Workshop. Howells
welcomed customers, contractors and installers alongside representatives from
education providers and local authorities. The event was supported by
Councillor Ann Shackleton of Cradley Heath and Old Hill Ward.
Howells is committed to making
manufacturing and fenestration careers of choice while also addressing the
skills gap, as such the workshop is affiliated with Building Our Skills.
Howells business development manager, Tracey Jackson is the first
Champion Supporter of Building Our Skills campaign.
