What our companies say about the Skills & Training Charter
Applus+ UK Ltd, a leader in the testing, inspection and certification sector, has received a Gold Award. “As an organisation which is solely dependent on operational staff, Applus embrace the ECITB’s ‘Skills and Training Charter’ and the ethos it underpins. Without the training facilitated by the ECITB our technicians and support staff would not be as adept or competent in their roles. The ECITB not only provides development and improvement in industry, but also provides opportunities and career paths for thousands of workers,” said a company spokesperson.
Actemium specialise in electrical engineering, electrical installation and support within the nuclear sector. Tony O’Connor, HQSE Manager with Actemium in Carlisle, said: “Actemium is delighted to receive the ECITB Gold Award for Skills and Training Charter certification. Achieving the highest level Gold Award is such a valuable asset to both us and our clients within the electrical nuclear industry, as it affirms our status as an approved trainer for assuring professional competence and improving safety and efficiency.”
