Building Our Skills has announced a partnership with NOCN Group to support the delivery of a full range of qualifications for the fenestration and glass industry. The qualifications will cover window and door installation, surveying, fabrication, curtain walling, glazing and a wide range of other glass related occupations.

NOCN Group is one of the biggest awarding organisations in the UK for construction related skills and is a registered charity.

It has been operating for over 35 years and is an Ofqual top 15 provider of vocational qualifications.

Building Our Skills director, Chris Globe, said:

“We are absolutely delighted to be working in partnership with NOCN Group on these industry relevant qualifications. It is the natural next step for us as we develop our role in the industry.

“Not only will we be continuing to encourage people to join our industry, but now we will be able to support them on a lifelong journey of learning, compliance and vocational achievement that will help them to enhance their skills and their careers, and to contribute more to the industry as a result. We all know that the higher the skill level of our industry workforce, the better the industry it will be.

“I also want to say how delighted we are by the response from the major players in the industry to our plans. They have committed to working alongside ourselves and NOCN Group on an ongoing programme of product development to ensure that not only does the industry have the qualifications it needs to meet its needs now, but to ensure that there will always be new products in the pipeline designed to meet future needs.”
