Swish offers their Approved Installers the opportunity to gain recognised qualifications in Roofline installation. Swish partners with a training and qualifications provider who can now offer Approved Installers a number of routes to an NVQ Level 2 or equivalent qualification. They specialise in putting together training packages that suit busy installers who don't want to spend a lot of time away from the job.
Training helps to raise standards, while qualifications help to demonstrate your competence to your customers. With a recognised qualification there are opportunities to:
There are three routes to obtaining a roofline installation qualification. Two are funding routes to a full NVQ Level 2 qualification and the third is an OSCAR, a day's assessment that is based on the NVQ Level 2 system. Both qualifications are recognised as proof of competence by an increasing number of bodies such as TrustMark.
It is possible to recoup much of the cost of the NVQ training programmes through the CITB Levy scheme, and the OSCAR represents a low cost and value for money certification process.
