Don’t miss out on funding for training and NVQs Talk to ARCA…
ARCA is here to help…
If you have operatives and supervisors who need an NVQ, ask ARCA what the best route to gaining this qualification would be for each candidate. Then ARCA can support you, with information on costs and timings, to help you complete a funding application for the next 12 months. You could receive funds to cover all or most of the cost for your staff to gain NVQs! The team at ARCA are here to help you - don’t miss out on funding you could be eligible for.
This year ARCA has already helped members secure over £16,000 in funding. Did you know this equates to approx 22 experienced operatives* taking an NVQ! With COVID-19 restrictions slowly lifting and member companies getting back to a new normal, it is important to understand what funding is available.

Members can request the Association to carry out site audits, in addition to the three membership audits, to support their auditing programme. As these audits follow the same criteria as the ARCA membership audits there is a consistent form of measurement and they provide a further quality control mechanism to help keep standards high. Also, members don’t forget you can request ARCA to organise additional audits by arrangement, whereby the member can ask for a specific site to be audited, or unannounced, whereby the member has no prior notice of an audit Further information on additional audits and how to book one is available in the support section at www.arca.org.uk
