Feed back on the 'Introduction to Certification' course
“Well prepared programme... well delivered” - Manufacturer

“Helpful eye opener to review existing practices” – H&S Consultant
“Very informative and detailed on requirements/systems required” – Small Electrical Contractor
“Great initiative to encourage local trading and really well run and helpful course” – Renewable Energies Systems Contractor
“I have found the courses to be very informative, useful and very much needed in order to bring smaller companies up to a standard which enables them to be seen and heard by the larger companies that we all want to deal with to enable the trade to move forward. The details I have picked up on the courses will be put into practice by my firm. It has given me an understanding of the terminology used and a better understanding of the reasons behind all the long winded forms we have to fill in and why it is of benefit to us to do so in order to be placed upon companies' supply chains“

“We are putting many policies into place which we didn’t realise we needed, including Customer Complaints, Environmental Policy, Quality Policy – but we are also putting new procedures into place as well to make sure these mean something ” – Cladding Contractor
“As a company we were able to establish areas such as environmental were weak. Since the training we have been able to look at this, speaking with Sandwell’s BISNES team and signing up to their environmental charter. We have been assessed against this, our environmental policy scrutinised, have put in place more measures for recycling and recording information to demonstrate this and a continuous improvement plan. Furthermore, we have taken a look at our social responsibilities as a company and the part we have to play in the communities, in which we work and the difference we can make. As such we have signed up to a community project, with other construction companies and will be carrying out works for a disabled man, which cannot be funded from other sources. It is invaluable that we support the communities in which we work in a positive way to achieve community sustainment and demonstrates our approach to social improvement and our wider role as a contractor within society” – Plumbing Contractor
