Training update

By Mitesh Nathwani, Training Manager

As a training department, we had our busiest year in 2022 and there are no signs of slowing down. With the introduction of new courses and practical days, we are working hard on developing new courses for our existing members, as well as securing extra funding from BEis. There has never been a better time to join our industry or up-skill in a different area.

Introducing our new website allowed us to offer a huge 50% off our pre-recorded webinars earlier in the year, giving assessors the opportunity to learn something new, top up their knowledge, and gain CPD. I am planning more new pre-recorded courses over the next few months, so please keep an eye out.

As I'm sure you know by now, Stroma Certification and Elmhurst Energy Systems have begun the merger process. This really is a really exciting time as we bring new opportunities, resources, and talent to the table. However, this has also brought challenges, with the need to assess the current state of both training departments, understand where we are starting from, and take stock of the current training programs and resources available.

Now that we have a clear understanding of the current state of training, we can develop a plan for how we will integrate the two programs. This will include identifying areas where training will need to be expanded or updated, as well as determining how to best leverage the strengths of each company's current programs.

As you can see, we are going from strength to strength and soon, we will offer a dynamic, streamlined, and up-to-date way of learning. We are spending lots of money on our Learning Management System as well as our OneFile online portfolio system. In the background, we are also working on streamlining the portfolio systems and processes as well as bringing in more trainers to meet demand and ensure we are always offering the best possible training to you.

For those of you interested in classroom training, we are looking at putting on another Roadshow in the south of England and possibly Scotland towards the end of the year. I hope you have a busy year ahead, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
