Spirax Sarco, a leading steam solutions provider, is celebrating three decades of course-accreditation from City & Guilds Group. Group.
The relationship began in 1989 and was born out of a decision by The Dairy Trade Federation and City & Guilds to introduce a skills testing scheme for the validation and accreditation of maintenance engineers in the dairy industry. This led to the introduction of a nationally recognized certificate.
Sally O’Connell, Training Centre Manager at Spirax Sarco, explained, “At that time, Spirax Sarco was the only authorized provider of the Steam Plant Maintenance training for the scheme. In the 30 years since, we have continued to develop the course and gain accreditation for both our Steam Plant Maintenance and our Steam Boiler Plant Fundamentals (Shell Boiler) courses.”
Kirstie Donnelly, Managing Director at City & Guilds Group continued, “City & Guilds is a world leader in skills development with 140 years of unrivaled experience. We are proud to have maintained a relationship with Spirax Sarco for three decades, accrediting their skills training and highlighting the quality process and credibility that learners are actively looking for.”
“As we move through the coming decades, we will work to strengthen our relationship with City & Guilds and bolster the courses that we put forward for accreditation. Our aim is to use the knowledge and expertise on both sides to create suitably accredited courses for the steam industry,” Sally concluded.
