A summary
Challenges
To ensure young engineers have the skills to protect themselves and others.
To provide asbestos awareness for the many different sectors and trades where there is a safety risk.
To develop a qualification that would attract and carry weight with a wide variety of relevant employers.
Our solution
We visited AEC’s Hazard House, a purpose-built asbestos training facility, to fully understand the safety requirements.
A dedicated account manager and a team of specialist technical consultants helped AEC develop a course structure and approach to assessment that would work for young apprentices.
We provided quality assured end-point assessment to make sure participants have the skills to keep themselves and others safe.
With support from our specialist technical consultants AEC was able to create a half-day course that can cover a variety of sector and trade specific pathways and environments that apprentices, T Level students, and existing engineers might encounter.
The final qualification was jointly awarded by both organisations, giving AEC’s course the endorsement of an awarding and end-point assessment organisation trusted by employers across the UK’s engineering and manufacturing sector, and related industries.
The result
- AEC was able to deliver an innovative new programme that went well beyond most other generic asbestos safety courses.
- Following strong uptake for this new EAL Approved course, AEC are looking at developing a second piece of training with us.
- Ultimately more young engineers have the skills to protect themselves and others.
