SEPTEMBER 2006 - CPQ has grant funding. CPQ clients can even make a profit from training

Commercial and Professional Qualifications Ltd (CPQ), the Sussex based construction plant training company has announced that it has been approved as having the skills to allow it to offer government grant funding to its clients….and the client can still receive a CITB grant. CPQ clients will make a profit from training!
CPQ is now able to offer certain of its clients NVQ’s for free. The Plant Operations NVQ is needed before a CPCS Trained Operator (Red) Card can upgrade to a CPCS Competence (Blue) Card. CPQ is encouraging its clients to take their colleagues through the NVQ immediately on completion of the Red Card assessment.

This makes sure that the Blue Card can be issued at the earliest possible opportunity. It is also financially attractive for companies to do this because the NVQ itself is free and the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) pays a grant to applicable employers when the NVQ is completed.
Commenting, James McClean, CPQ’s MD, said:

‘This is great news for our clients. The lucky ones will actually be able to make a profit by training colleagues. Clients should be queuing up for this service. Not only will they receive the NVQ for free, but also the CITB will pay grant on completion.

I am very pleased that CPQ has been chosen. It shows that our services are highly regarded in government circles. This is a great credit to our team and public recognition of our skills.’
