care of, including NVQ
registration and certification

Programme Content
The programme is designed to help employees develop the essential personal and occupational skills that will enable them to be an effective teamworker.
Company Commitment
The time requirement for candidates to complete the programme
is 5 days off-the-job training over approximately 5 months. Candidates
must complete all of the modules listed above and the competence assessment.
Assessment will take place through observation of each candidate’s
normal working activities.
In addition to the support offered by the trainers and assessors, it is

On successful completion of the Programme, candidates will have achieved the Metals Industry Health & Safety Passport. The Health & Safety Passport is the industry’s certification scheme that demonstrates employee competence in key aspects of health and safety.

a catalyst for culture change … “The Teamwork Programme was a key enabler in a major programme of improvements and re-focusing of our business. By giving our teamworkers relevant skills and qualifications, it has helped develop a new company-wide attitude that has given us far greater flexibility and opportunities. Output per employee has increased, our teams now self-manage their work, absenteeism is cut by half and there is a new found motivation and commitment throughout the business.” Steve Blount, Works Manager |
