• GQA Helps Bohle Raise Industry Standards

Close collaboration with Bohle, the components manufacturer and supplier, has shown the benefits of GQA's 'accredited training' service.

The service is helping the company to raise standards in UV bonded glass technologies and practices.

GQA is the fenestration industry's awarding and qualifications-writing organisation. Its Accredited Training service is aimed at employers in the industry who want to have their in-house training endorsed by GQA Qualifications while providing the opportunity to deliver training that focuses on candidates' particular needs specific to their roles with the employer.

When Bohle wanted to develop an optional unit on UV glass bonding as part of a pre-existing Level 2 and 3 NVQ Diploma in Glass Processing, the company turned to GQA’s service to put it in place.

Raising standards

Amanda Carr is Bohle’s UV bonding technical specialist and is a qualified trainer and assessor in adult learning. She says: “Working with GQA hasn’t just resulted in a qualification tailored to our customers’ and partners’ needs, it’s really given us the opportunity to promote the benefits of UV bonded glass technologies as a whole. Offering accredited training with a specific standard against which learners can be measured is ideal. This approach is helping to raise standards in this part of the fenestration industry and needless to say, it’s a very positive thing for Bohle with which to be associated.”

GQA's Martin Sadler says:  "Using our accredited training service means that employers can develop their own training to suit their employees or their customers' needs with the GQA stamp of approval to show the quality of the training delivered. The GQA-branded certificate we offer is an important tool and highlights the third-party endorsement we bring. We can also help to develop specific courses in the consultation phase of our collaboration."
