Nick Grewcock, Training Manager at Skills for Security
commented: “Skills for Security are delighted to
announce the excellent exam results this year. The apprentices
have worked really hard in all areas, Health & Safety,
Electrical Principles, intruder and fire systems. The trainers
and assessors are extremely proud of these results with a
100% pass rate in almost all areas on the Level 2 and L3
system qualifications. Level 2 apprentice Matthew Terzza
is really pleased with his results and his employer wants
him to progress onto Level 3.”
Skills for Security opened their state of the art training
centre in the heart of Birmingham in September 2014
and are recording fantastic results with above national
average success rates.
The new training centre has been a great success
in allowing Skills for Security to deliver a range of courses
to a greater number of learners and to be able to provide
more personalised support to individual needs.
The centre offers a fully equipped workshop which
includes fire and security systems equipment from the top
brands in the industry and two new IT suites which include
state of the art computers able to deliver the highest specification
of Cyber Security training.
Nick continued: “Our training centre is going from
strength to strength. We have taken on-board many suggestions
from learners to enhance their learning experience and
the newly equipped centre and new support staff has enabled
us to deliver high quality training in a way that benefits the
learners and employers and over the coming year we will be
adding additional qualifications and short courses.”
