Head of NAPIT training, Michael Collinge, discusses the launch of the Premier Training Academy.
“This year, NAPIT will be launching the Premier Training Academy to showcase the quality, class-room based training that we offer, and create a new brand for our members to benefit from.
“NAPIT Training centres will now be known as ‘Premier Training Academies’ to enforce this new uniform brand. We are pleased to announce that a new training centre will be opened in the south east to serve domestic and commercial gas installers. When considering these developments, we are confident that the Premier Training Academy represents a significant step forward for NAPIT.
“Over the years, NAPIT has had a variety of different trading names for its training centres in Bristol, Mansfield and Oldham – with each specialising in different areas of the building services industry. This will continue through the Premier Training Academy, as there will be training opportunities in the following key areas – Premier Electrical Training, Premier Renewables Training and Premier Gas Training. Mansfield will host Premier Electrical Training, with Bristol and Oldham offering both Premier Electrical and Premier Renewables Training. Premier Gas Training will be offered with the launch of our new gas training centre in Sevenoaks.
“The Premier Training Academy will help customers to distinguish between NAPIT’s separate training centres and the services that each offer. It is worth mentioning that all of the benefits from choosing NAPIT Training will still apply with Premier Training Academy, provided that the prerequisite requirements for the desired course are met.
“These include:
- Highly qualified and experienced trainers to guide you through each course.
- Free use of the latest tools and equipment.
- Free re-sits after any initial failure (excluding re-assessment fee) for selected courses.
- and, above all else, high pass rates.
“Like our other centres, the Premier Gas Training Centre will provide expert-led training and guidance for those looking to enhance their skills as a professional tradesperson. The training content itself will cover both domestic and commercial gas work and there will be access to a variety of tools and literature, alongside refreshments and a complementary lunch as per the benefits of all Premier Training Academy centres.
“The National Accredited Certification Scheme (ACS) training provided has a requirement for gas installers to demonstrate their competence to Gas Safe and work in accordance with relevant industry legislation.”
